Why is knowledge of MahaRERA important ?

Some of the projects remains at the foundation level for years. People invest  their life’s savings, and all that they get is an apology for delay in the projects. This, in spite of having valid proofs of payment like Receipts, Allotment Letters, Registered Agreements etc.

Aggrieved people are hesitant to go to courts, as they feel it’s long, lengthy and laborious, involving many procedures and documentation; hence, they want to avoid going to courts altogether. 

What does one do in such a situation? Courts are already burdened with litigation issues, and your Real Estate matter will just be added to the long list of matters on the daily board.

Hence to address this unresolved issue, the Central Govt. through an Act of Parliament brought out RERA Act 2016, and all States and UTs had to mandatorily implement this with Registration of the projects online, and make provisions for aggrieved and harassed flat-purchasers to register complaints online and get an early hearing.

A major boost to Transparency and Accountability to this vital Sector!
