MahaRERA Check Guide 2026 — How to Verify Any Mumbai Project in 5 Minutes

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

Step 1 — 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 — that's a red flag.

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

Step 2 — Verify on MahaRERA Portal

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

• Project name and builder details
• Proposed completion date
• Number of units registered vs sold
• Amount in designated RERA bank account
• Any complaints filed against the project

Step 3 — Check Complaints Filed

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

Step 4 — 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 — it's a red flag for fund diversion.

Step 5 — 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

• Builder changing flat specifications after booking
• Delayed possession without penalty
• Selling more units than approved
• Diverting funds from one project to another
