The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) was established to bring transparency and accountability to the state's real estate sector. For homebuyers in Mumbai, understanding MahaRERA is one of the most important steps before signing on any project.
What MahaRERA Registration Means
Every residential project above a certain size must be registered with MahaRERA before it can be marketed or sold. Registration requires developers to disclose project timelines, land titles, layout plans, and approvals publicly.
- Verified project registration number (RERA ID) for every unit sold
- Mandatory escrow account for buyer funds, limiting fund diversion
- Committed possession dates with penalties for delays
- Public access to approved layouts, floor plans and specifications
Always cross-check a project's RERA ID on the official MahaRERA portal before making any booking payment.
What to Check Before You Buy
Beyond the registration number, buyers should review the promised possession date, any change of land title, and whether the developer has a track record of on-time delivery across previous projects.
