What is MahaRERA and why does it matter?
MahaRERA is Maharashtra's implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, 2016. Every real-estate project in Maharashtra must register with MahaRERA, file quarterly progress reports, and comply with strict consumer-protection norms. Non-compliance is actionable. Our advocates have litigated under MahaRERA since enactment.
