Questions, answered plainly.

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.

Yes. Where no period is agreed, conveyance of the structure must be executed within three months from the date on which 51% of the total purchasers in that building or wing have booked their apartment. If the promoter defaults, the society can pursue deemed conveyance.

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.

Yes. An agent (individual or firm) must be RERA-registered to facilitate the sale or purchase of any unit in a registered project. Registration must be kept current, and non-compliance can attract daily penalties.

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.

Yes, a registration can be extended in defined circumstances — such as force majeure or delays not attributable to the promoter — if applied for correctly and on time. A weak or late application can do more harm than none, so the grounds and evidence matter.

It varies, but typically 6–18 months to a judgment, with many matters settling earlier. What is not flexible is the start: the statutory demand notice must be issued within 30 days of dishonour and the complaint filed within the prescribed window after that.

If your contract has an arbitration clause, arbitration is usually faster and private; without one, the civil courts are the forum. The right choice depends on your contract, the relief you want and enforceability. We advise before you file.

We begin with a consultation to assess your matter, then agree a clear scope of work and transparent fees before starting. For compliance mandates we work on a managed, calendar-driven basis.

Yes — across different matters. Our RERA depth comes from acting on both sides, which sharpens our judgement whichever side we are on. We check for conflicts before accepting any engagement.
