This provision is non-negotiable, and developers will not be able to alter it. The exact date of delivery of facilities and amenities will now be mandatory in Annexure-I of the Agreement for Sale. MahaRERA has also made it mandatory for developers to provide details of the expected date of Occupancy Certificate (OC) for the project, size of the facilities and amenities, whether it is a project being constructed by the developer or has been acquired, and if the project is free of Floor Space Index or not as per the rules and regulations of the local planning bodies.
MahaRERA has taken this decision to address the issue of developers promising attractive facilities and amenities to homebuyers at the time of booking, but failing to deliver them. Amenities that will be covered under the order include swimming pools, tennis courts, badminton courts, theatres, clubhouses, gymnasiums, table tennis areas, squash courts, giant chess areas, gardens, senior citizen zones, jogging tracks, juice bars, and children's play areas.

After receiving feedback, the authority has taken this decision to safeguard homebuyers' interests.
