The order, which came into effect on July 30, 2024, makes it compulsory for property developers to provide details about the amenities and facilities they propose to offer to buyers. This move is expected to bring transparency in the real estate sector and protect homebuyers from cheating by builders.
According to the order, developers will have to provide a proposed date of handover of listed amenities during the signing of the buyer and seller Agreement for Sale. The order lists several conditions that developers must include in the agreement for sale, including
Facilities/Amenities Details and Local Planning Rules Compliance Developers must provide information about the facilities and amenities provided or to be provided in the building, common areas, or layout. This includes details about swimming pools, badminton courts, tennis courts, theaters, gymnasiums, and more.
Facilities/Amenities Size and Location Developers must mention the size and location of the facilities and amenities in the form of open spaces (such as recreation grounds or parks) to be provided within the plot or layout. They must also provide a proposed date for handing over these open spaces to the common organization of allottees or the federation of common organizations.
Information About Lift Developers must provide details about the lifts they plan to install, including the number of lifts, type of lift (passenger, stretcher, service, fire evacuation, or goods), capacity in terms of the number of passengers, and speed in meters per second.
The MahaRERA order was prompted by complaints that several developers were not mentioning the facilities they planned to provide in the agreement for sale. The regulator noticed that promoters were not disclosing the dates when the facilities and amenities would be made available for use by allottees, their family members, and residents.
With this order, MahaRERA aims to bring transparency and accountability in the real estate sector, protecting the interests of homebuyers in Mumbai and other districts of the state.
