MahaRERA Check Guide 2026 โ€” How to Verify Any Mumbai Project in 5 Minutes

๐Ÿ“… May 2026 โœ… AI-verified data ๐Ÿ“ Mumbai, Maharashtra

MahaRERA is one of India's most active and effective RERA authorities. If you're buying any property in Maharashtra โ€” Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Navi Mumbai โ€” here's exactly how to verify the project yourself in 5 minutes.

Step 1 โ€” Find the MahaRERA Number

Every RERA-registered project in Maharashtra has a unique number in the format P51800XXXXXX. The builder must display this on all marketing materials, brochures, and advertisements. If they don't โ€” that's a red flag.

Ask the builder directly: "What is your MahaRERA registration number?" A legitimate builder will provide it immediately.

Step 2 โ€” Verify on MahaRERA Portal

Go to maharerait.maharashtra.gov.in โ†’ Project Search โ†’ Enter the registration number. You'll see:

Key check: The "proposed completion date" in MahaRERA is the legally binding possession date. If the builder's sales team gives you a different date โ€” the MahaRERA date is what matters legally.

Step 3 โ€” Check Complaints Filed

On the MahaRERA project page, scroll to "Complaints" โ€” you can see any complaints filed against this project. Multiple complaints for the same issue (delay, quality) are a strong warning signal.

Step 4 โ€” Verify RERA Bank Account

MahaRERA requires builders to deposit 70% of collected funds in a designated project account. Check this figure on the portal. If the account balance is significantly lower than what should be collected โ€” it's a red flag for fund diversion.

Step 5 โ€” Check Agent Registration

The broker/agent selling you the property must also be RERA registered. Ask for their RERA agent registration number. Unregistered agents are not legally allowed to sell RERA projects.

What MahaRERA Protects You From

What MahaRERA does NOT protect you from: Builder insolvency, title disputes on land, quality of construction. These need independent verification โ€” court case check, title search, and physical inspection.
