This order comes against the backdrop of certain property developers not mentioning the facilities and amenities provided by them. According to MahaRERA, some promoters were not providing this information in the agreement for sale, leaving homebuyers with limited recourse against developers in the absence of these amenities.\n\nThe MahaRERA order requires developers to include the following details in the agreement for sale
Facilities/Amenities details and compliance with local planning rules\n Mention of Facilities/Amenities Size and Location\n Details of lift, including type, capacity, and speed This order is expected to address homebuyers' concerns regarding the timelines for completion and handover of amenities/facilities and common areas by the promoter in a real estate project. It also adds a layer of accountability and transparency, safeguarding the interests of homebuyers and ensuring they receive what was promised within the stipulated timeframe.
Developers are now required to specify the exact dates for the delivery of amenities and the expected date of obtaining the occupation certificate (OC). Any major revisions, changes, shifting or corrections in the amenities, facilities, or common areas will require the prior written consent of at least two-thirds of the homebuyers in the project.The MahaRERA order is considered beneficial for homebuyers, as it ensures that developers are clear and transparent about the amenities they promise, including when they will be completed. However, it remains to be seen whether the municipal commissioner will view this aspect strictly while granting OC or part OC to the project of the developer.
