When a homebuyer lodges a complaint, they are given the option to resolve the issue through the conciliation forum during the first hearing. This ensures that their rights regarding the complaint are maintained. The complaint is only forwarded to the forum after the complainant's consent. A complaint is considered resolved when the complainant and respondent agree to the terms and conditions of the settlement. If the settlement terms are not fulfilled, the complainant can seek further recourse from MahaRERA, as the grievance cannot be dismissed without the complainant's consent.
MahaRERA Chairman Manoj Saunik emphasized the proactive efforts of the authority in resolving homebuyer complaints. He stated that in case of deadlock, the complainant always has the option to re-approach MahaRERA, ensuring that their concerns are thoroughly addressed.
