Is MahaRERA approval mandatory for project alterations and timeline extensions under the RERA Act?
According to MahaRERA, obtaining its approval is mandatory for any corrections or extensions under the provisions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Developers are also required to seek the regulator’s approval for any alterations or additions to the project plans submitted at the time of registration.Additionally, during the registration stage with MahaRERA, developers are required to provide a definite completion date for the housing project.
"During the execution of any project, irrespective of the reason, the developer is required to obtain MahaRERA's approval for an extension of the timeline. If this process is violated, the project is classified as lapsed, which adversely affects its progress. Therefore, seeking an extension from MahaRERA is necessary to complete the project. From the homebuyers’ standpoint, the developers must seek MahaRERA’s approval for the project’s correction and extension," MahaRERA said in a statement.
