MAHARERA Registration For Projects: Process, Require Documents

Real Estate Regulatory and Authority (RERA) Act was passed by the Real Estate Agency of India in March 2016. And by this rule they make, MAHA RERA registration is mandatory for every new real estate project and the agent. The purpose of this Act was to deal with the rising complaints against the builders or promoters and the real estate agents. These complaints mainly relate to the late possession of a house to the buyers, Delay in the social formation, Conveyance deed and hand over the management of building to Society, negligent behavior of promoters after the signing of the agreement and many such related issues. The sole objective of the RERA, which is a government body, is to protect the interests of buyers as well as define a path so that the promoters and the real estate agents get an opportunity to come up with good services.

The strategies in RERA have been drafted considering that because of the shortage of rapidness in the working of official authorities for example in approving the project; many promoters have to look for an unfair mode to continue their work so that their massive investment in a project does not get lost. Along with this, Central Agency Council and Real Estate Appellate Tribunal with RERA is being established by Real Estate Agency to boost the confidence level of buyers for the builders and the agents and also to punish the defaulters.
