Therefore, if you are planning to buy a house in Maharashtra, it is advisable to purchase it under MahaRERA.

What is MahaRERA?

RERA or Real Estate Regulator Authority came into effect on 1st May 2016. It aimed at streamlining the real estate sector and safeguarding the rights of homebuyers. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, every state was required to create a state regulatory body for the execution of the RERA. RERA in Maharashtra functions as MahaRERA.
