The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) was set up to bring transparency to a sector that badly needed it — delayed projects, misleading carpet-area claims, and unregistered agents were common before it came into force.
What RERA registration actually means
Any project where flats are sold before construction is complete must be registered with MahaRERA, and the developer must disclose the promised completion date, layout plans, and carpet area accurately. Real estate agents and brokers facilitating transactions are also required to hold their own RERA registration.
How to check before you commit
MahaRERA's website lets you search any project by name or registration number and see its approved plans, promised timeline, and any complaints filed against it. For agents, you can verify their registration number the same way — a registered consultant will have this number and be able to produce it without hesitation.
What it does not cover
RERA protects you on disclosure and delay accountability for under-construction projects; it does not replace the need for your own title verification on resale flats, which fall largely outside its direct scope. Treat RERA registration as a floor, not a ceiling, for due diligence.
We are a registered consultancy and disclose our registration details on every client engagement — if a broker cannot produce their RERA number when asked, that alone is worth walking away from.
