Overview

• MahaRERA has instructed municipal planning authorities to verify Occupation Certificates (OCs) for 3,699 lapsed housing projects within 10 days.
• The directive follows a major document-fraud case in Kalyan-Dombivali, where forged construction documents were uncovered.
• Failure to respond within the deadline will result in MahaRERA deeming the OCs valid, with any future discrepancies holding the planning authority accountable.
• The affected projects span six regions, including 1,819 in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and 1,223 in the Pune region.
• Developers must register projects, submit progress reports, and upload valid OCs to MahaRERA to withdraw remaining project funds.
