MahaRERA Project Registration
Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, no real-estate project in Maharashtra over 500 sq.m or eight apartments may be advertised, marketed, booked or sold until it is registered with MahaRERA. Registration is not a form-filling exercise — it commits the promoter to a public timeline, a defined carpet-area, a ring-fenced project account and quarterly disclosures. We manage the entire filing so your launch is never held up, and so the declarations you make on day one are ones you can live with for the life of the project.
What we do
- New project & phased registration
- Document, title, plan and approval assembly
- Architect, engineer & CA certifications (Forms 1–3) coordination
- MahaRERA portal filing, declaration drafting & fee payment
- Scrutiny query resolution until the certificate issues
- Registration extension, correction & project deregistration
Common issues we resolve
- Advertising or accepting bookings before registration — an offence that can attract a penalty of up to 10% of the estimated project cost
- Incomplete title chain or pending approvals that stall the certificate
- Phasing decisions that inadvertently inflate compliance obligations or completion commitments
- Over-optimistic completion dates that become liability under Section 18 later
How the engagement works
- 1
Eligibility & document review
We confirm the project is registrable, map the phasing strategy and build a complete document checklist against the MahaRERA requirements.
- 2
Certifications
We coordinate the architect's, engineer's and chartered accountant's certificates (Forms 1–3) and reconcile the estimated cost and timeline.
- 3
Portal filing
We draft the promoter's declaration, assemble the annexures and submit the application with fees on the MahaRERA portal.
- 4
Query resolution
We respond to every scrutiny query raised by the Authority until the registration certificate and number are issued.
Frequently asked questions
Any project where the land proposed to be developed exceeds 500 sq.m or the project has more than eight apartments (counted across all phases) must be registered before it is advertised, marketed, booked or sold.
No. Advertising, inviting bookings or accepting any payment before the registration certificate is issued is an offence and can attract a penalty of up to 10% of the estimated cost of the project.
A large development can be registered in phases, each with its own registration number, timeline and account. Phasing can reduce risk and align disclosures with actual construction — but it must be structured correctly at the outset. We advise on the right approach for your project.

Most registration delays are not rejections — they are queries against an incomplete file. Here is the bundle that goes in clean the first time.
Extending a RERA registration: grounds, process and pitfalls
Timelines slip. When they do, an extension can protect your project — if it is sought correctly. The grounds that hold, and the ones that don't.
Phasing a project under RERA: registering by phase, not by tower
Phasing buys a promoter room to sequence delivery. Structured carelessly, it splits obligations in ways that surface years later at the tribunal.
