Homebuyers often invest their lifetime savings to purchase a house, but issues such as delayed possession, substandard construction quality, and missing amenities can arise. In such scenarios, it is MahaRERA’s responsibility to protect the homebuyers’ legitimate interests by promptly addressing their complaints and ensuring justice is done.
To expedite the hearings of complaints received from aggrieved homebuyers, MahaRERA Chairman Manoj Saunik and his team, including Members Mahesh Pathak and Ravindra Deshpande, have initiated several measures. Their efforts have led to a remarkable success in resolving numerous cases that had been pending for a long time. Between October 2024 and August 2025, these three individuals resolved a total of 5,267 complaints, providing much-needed relief to homebuyers. During this period, 3,743 new complaints were filed. For the first time, MahaRERA has established an efficient system where complaints are registered and hearings take place within one or two months of filing.
Since its establishment in May 2017, MahaRERA has received a total of 30,833 complaints. Of these, 23,726 grievances have been resolved. This includes 23,661 complaints from 3,523 projects that existed before MahaRERA’s establishment and 6,218 complaints from 2,269 projects that were registered post the authority’s creation.
Currently, there are 51,481 projects registered across Maharashtra, with cases filed against 5,792 of them. The number of complaints from projects launched after MahaRERA’s establishment stands at 21%, while those from pre-RERA projects account for 79%.
To prevent future complaints from homebuyers, it is crucial that projects are completed within the promised timeline. MahaRERA strictly scrutinizes every project at the registration stage to anticipate and mitigate potential obstacles. A three-step scrutiny process—legal, financial, and technical—is undertaken to determine the feasibility of project completion. MahaRERA has set up three independent groups for each step, who rigorously assess and examine the applications of proposed projects. Projects that do not meet any of the criteria are not granted MahaRERA registration. The authority’s aim is not only to ensure that homebuyers’ investments are safe and secure but also to prevent the possibility of complaints arising in the future.
