MahaRERA Issues SOP to Fast-Track Homebuyer Compensation With 60-Day Target

The framework follows Bombay High Court directions to tighten enforcement against defaulting developers.

Overview

  • Homebuyers are expected to receive ordered compensation within 60 days, after which they must file a non-compliance application if unpaid.
  • MahaRERA will hear non-compliance applications within four weeks and may grant a reasonable time before escalating enforcement.
  • Developers who still default can be required to file an affidavit disclosing movable and immovable assets, bank accounts, and investments.
  • A recovery warrant may then be sent to the district collector to attach or seize assets and bank accounts to recover dues.
  • Persistent non-payment can be referred to the principal civil court, where defaulting developers may face imprisonment for up to three months, while legal experts flag vague timelines and weak portal tracking.
