Hereon, one will get crucial information about the real estate project simply by going through the MahaRERA certificate and its annexure. This homebuyer-centric step has been taken by MahaRERA after taking into account the essential preliminary information a homebuyer needs pertaining to a housing project. The decision will be applicable with immediate effect for all new housing projects.
MahaRERA Chairman Manoj Saunik said, “To purchase a property, most people invest their lifetime savings. To ensure the investment remains safe and secure, MahaRERA has been striving towards protecting the homebuyers’ rights. With this in mind and the potential challenges that may arise in the future, MahaRERA has initiated granting registration numbers of projects only after thorough legal, financial, and technical scrutiny. Moreover, as part of legally empowering the home buyer, MahaRERA has already announced non-negotiable provisions related to Standardised Agreement for Sale as well as Allotment Letter, parking, and amenities. Through such efforts, MahaRERA aims to bring in transparency and accountability among real estate’s stakeholders.”
As part of these efforts, to further assist and guide homebuyers, MahaRERA has initiated mentioning primary and crucial project details on the registration certificates issued to new housing projects. These details include the project’s total built-up area, names of the buildings and wings, and the total number of floors up to which the construction permission has been granted. We always urge and encourage the homebuyer to understand these details carefully, verify the legal details prior to making any decision or transaction.
So far, the MahaRERA registration certificate only mentioned the project’s as well as the promoter’s name and address in a single line. Hereon, this information will be displayed in bullet points to make it reader-friendly.
For the first time, the certificate’s annexure will include comprehensive details such as the project’s total built-up area, names and number of buildings as well as wings, total number of habitable floors, total number of residential and non-residential units, Commencement Certificate (CC) showing construction permission granted up to which floor, and total number of parking spaces for four-wheelers, two-wheelers, and visitors.
During a project’s life-cycle, if the developer makes any amendments or updates related to the project, such as seeking deadline revision or entering into a joint venture or transferring the project to another company, these details will get reflected in the revised MahaRERA certificate issued for the realty project.
Needless to say, all promoters are mandated to prominently display this certificate at their respective project site as well as on the project website. When searching for information about the project on the MahaRERA website using the project registration number, a link to this certificate appears on the first page.
In addition, MahaRERA has already made it mandatory to include a QR code—containing the project’s essential preliminary information—along with the project registration number in advertisements across all media. By scanning this QR code, one can easily access the key information related to the project.
Previously, MahaRERA has taken several important decisions aimed at legally empowering homebuyers and ensuring transparency as well as accountability in the real estate sector. Some of the landmark decisions include the introduction of Standardised Agreement for Sale as well as Allotment Letter, mentioning parking slot dimensions (length, width, and height), location of the parking slot, and a list of amenities and facilities to be provided along with their delivery timelines. These decisions have significantly benefitted homebuyers. Several other regulatory authorities in India have adopted these decisions in their respective states.
The latest decision to issue a new registration certificate mentioning the project’s crucial information is yet another step in this direction, which will significantly benefit homebuyers.
