MahaRERA was established to regulate the real estate sector and protect the interests of homebuyers. Initially, the conciliation forums were limited to the Mumbai and Pune regions in 2018. However, the number has now expanded to 52 forums across various cities including Nashik, Nagpur, Thane, Kalyan, Navi Mumbai, Palghar, Raigad, Vasai, and Mira Road. These forums are actively hearing and resolving grievances, with the Mumbai forum leading the way by addressing 562 complaints, followed by Pune with 530 grievances.
The forums in Thane, Navi Mumbai, and Palghar have also made notable contributions, resolving 201, 169, and 105 complaints, respectively. Other regions like Kalyan, Vasai, Nagpur, Mira Road, Raigad, and Nashik have also seen positive outcomes, although on a smaller scale.
When a homebuyer lodges a complaint, the complainant is given the option to resolve the issue through the conciliation forum during the first hearing. This process ensures that the complainant's rights are fully protected. The complaint is only forwarded to the forum after the complainant consents, and a resolution is considered only when both parties agree to the terms and conditions. In cases where the settlement terms are not fulfilled, the complainant can seek further recourse from MahaRERA, ensuring that the grievance is not dismissed without the complainant's consent.
MahaRERA Chairman Manoj Saunik emphasized the authority's commitment to resolving homebuyer complaints proactively. 'We take every effort to ensure that homebuyers' issues are addressed promptly and fairly,' he said. 'In cases of deadlock, the complainant always has the option to re-approach MahaRERA for further assistance.'
The increasing number of forums and the growing success rate in resolving complaints indicate that MahaRERA is making a positive impact in the real estate sector, providing homebuyers with a reliable and effective mechanism to address their concerns.
