20+ yrs experience
“Anil founded Advent Advocates in 2017 and leads the firm's RERA and real-estate practice, with a trail-blazing record before the MahaRERA Authority, the Adjudicating Officer and the MahaRERA Appellate Tribunal. He brings more than twenty years across industry verticals in India, the UAE and Bahrain to a practice spanning RERA, civil and property matters, redevelopment, conveyance and recovery, the NCLT and DRT, and family and consumer disputes. That breadth shaped the firm's multidisciplinary model — advocates, chartered accountants and engineers on the same file — after seeing how often real-estate matters fail because legal, financial and technical questions are answered in silos.”

Questions, answered
The things clients ask us first.
A quick primer on RERA and how we work. Need something specific?
Yes, if the land proposed to be developed exceeds 500 sq.m or the project has more than eight apartments (inclusive of all phases). Registration must be obtained before the project is advertised, marketed, booked or sold.
All registered projects are listed on the MahaRERA website with their registration number and disclosures. Every advertisement for the project must also display the MahaRERA registration number.
A Quarterly Progress Report updates MahaRERA on construction, financial and booking progress. Promoters must file it every quarter for the life of the registration, alongside an annual audit (Form 5). Missing filings can lead to penalties or suspension.
Under Section 18 of RERA, if the promoter fails to hand over possession by the agreed date, you may either withdraw and claim a refund with interest and compensation, or continue and claim interest for every month of delay until possession.
Carpet area is the net usable floor area within the walls of your apartment (excluding external walls and common areas, but including internal partition walls). RERA requires pricing to be tied to carpet area — so this is the number that should drive your agreement, not 'built-up' or 'super built-up' figures.
RERA restricts a promoter from making material changes to the sanctioned plans, layout or amenities without the required consent of allottees. If changes were made improperly, you may have grounds for relief. We assess the specifics and advise on your options.
