Understand your requirement
Read applicability, process, responsibilities, limitations and document categories before sharing personal records.
Since 2017, we have helped real-estate agents, promoters, builders, developers and buyers understand requirements, organise documents and move through registration, renewal and compliance processes with confidence.
Information links explain requirements and documents. Registration-assistance links connect you with MCA and never submit a direct Government application.
Read applicability, process, responsibilities, limitations and document categories before sharing personal records.
Select the service and applicant type. MCA will review the requirement and provide a relevant checklist, scope and fee information before work starts.
Figures represent assistance and learning support provided by MCA based on its internal service records; registrations, certificates and approvals are issued only by the concerned Authority or authorised institution.
Choose the area relevant to you. Every service page explains the process, typical documents, responsibilities and important limitations.
Trust should come from a process you can check—not from promises. Before work begins, we explain the scope, expected documents, applicable Government fees, consultancy charges and practical limitations.
The agreed assistance, exclusions, dependencies and next steps should be clear before the engagement starts.
Statutory or portal fees are not presented as MCA income. Consultancy charges are additional and depend on the agreed requirement.
Ask for a written quotation or scope and a receipt or acknowledgement for payments made to MCA.
Share only documents relevant to the agreed work. Sensitive records should be handled through the confirmed MCA contact channel.
Registration, certification, orders and approvals are issued only by the concerned Authority or authorised institution.
Project, agent, circular and order information should be checked on the concerned official RERA portal.
MCA will not ask for your banking password, card PIN or UPI PIN. Never share an OTP unless you personally understand and authorise the specific portal action in progress.
Pause and confirm before proceeding if: someone promises guaranteed approval, asks for an unexplained payment, refuses to provide a scope or receipt, or claims MCA is MahaRERA or a Government office.
These safeguards are intended to improve clarity and reduce avoidable risk; they do not make any service risk-free or guarantee a regulatory outcome. MCA is an independent consultancy and does not represent the Government, MahaRERA or any State/UT RERA Authority.
We help you understand the process, organise the required information and submit better-prepared applications and representations.
Application preparation, document checklist, portal-support coordination and renewal readiness for real-estate agents.
Discuss your case →Information collation and documentation coordination for promoters seeking structured RERA registration assistance.
Practical checklists, filing support and compliance-awareness reviews based on current applicable requirements.
Organising facts, records and supporting papers for complaints or replies, with referral to qualified legal professionals where required.
Structured learning, practice questions and exam-readiness support, subject to the framework applicable in the relevant State or Union Territory.
Review of service descriptions, advertisements and informational content for clearer, responsible compliance wording.
Reliable compliance begins with understanding the law, the authority and the responsibilities attached to a real-estate transaction.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 created a regulatory framework for efficient and transparent sale of real-estate projects, protection of consumer interests and adjudication of disputes.
View the Act on India Code →MahaRERA is Maharashtra’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority. Its official portal provides registration, project and agent information, updates, orders, circulars and guidance for stakeholders.
Visit the official MahaRERA portal →MahaRERA’s official guidance states that a real-estate agent must obtain prior registration before facilitating sale, purchase, advertising or brokerage of property in a project registered under the Act.
Start agent-registration assistance with MCA →The Act uses broad functional definitions. The actual activity, documents and transaction structure matter more than the label used by a person or business.
A person who negotiates or acts for another person in the transfer of a plot, apartment or building in a real-estate project for remuneration, fees or other charges. It also includes a person who introduces prospective buyers and sellers through any medium for negotiation, including property dealers, brokers and intermediaries by whatever name called.
Practical effect: advertising, lead introduction, negotiation, booking support or brokerage in a registered project may require prior agent registration. Documentation-only assistance must remain clearly separated from transaction facilitation.
The definition can include a person who constructs or causes construction for sale, develops land into a project, sells apartments or plots, acts as a coloniser, or is a development authority or other public body in covered circumstances. Where construction and sale are undertaken by different persons, both may be treated as promoters.
Practical effect: builder, developer, landowner and joint-development roles must be identified from title records, development agreements, authority, consideration and sale documents—not merely from a commercial designation.
An allottee is a person to whom a plot, apartment or building has been allotted, sold or otherwise transferred by the promoter, including a later transferee. The statutory definition generally excludes a person to whom the property is given on rent.
Practical effect: allotment, payment, agreement, possession, disclosures and correspondence should be preserved because rights and remedies depend on the transaction documents and facts.
These common market descriptions do not by themselves determine the statutory role. A buyer may become an allottee; an investor may also be an allottee depending on the transaction; and a landowner may carry promoter obligations where the development arrangement and sale structure place that person within the Act.
Practical effect: do not rely only on the heading of an agreement. Review the complete arrangement, authority, money flow, inventory rights and public representations.
This is an educational explanation of statutory concepts, not a substitute for the complete Act or case-specific legal advice.
These practical categories help organise the enquiry. Final RERA applicability depends on the Act, applicable State/UT Rules, project facts, phase, area, number of units, approvals, completion status and available exemption.
A development primarily offering homes such as apartments, flats, row houses, villas or residential plots. Review phase, sanctioned use, common facilities, number of units, development rights and sale structure.
A project offering shops, offices, showrooms, business premises or other commercial units. Registration review should cover sanctioned commercial use, unit description, common areas, parking, specifications and payment terms.
Land developed into plots for sale, often with layout approval, roads, utilities and common infrastructure. Do not assume that the absence of building construction removes RERA requirements.
A development combining residential, commercial or other permitted uses. Each component, building, wing and phase should be matched with approvals, inventory, shared amenities and registration disclosures.
Reconstruction or development of an existing society, building, settlement or property, sometimes involving existing occupants and free-sale inventory. Applicability can differ where there is no marketing, advertising, sale or new allotment; documents require case-specific review.
A project undertaken through an arrangement between a landowner and developer/promoter, commonly using revenue share, area share, development rights or power of attorney. Promoter roles and disclosure responsibility must be identified from the complete agreement structure.
A project that had commenced before the applicable RERA framework but did not have the relevant completion certificate when the law became applicable, subject to the statutory provisions and State/UT Rules. Present status and prior approvals require verification.
A larger development may be registered and implemented in separate phases. Each phase can have its own registration, approvals, inventory, completion date and compliance record. An extension changes an approved timeline; it is not a fresh project category.
A large development may combine plots, buildings, infrastructure and amenities over multiple phases. Land parcels, approvals, promoter structure and phase-wise registrations should be mapped carefully.
Exemption should never be assumed from a label. Area/unit thresholds, completion certificate status, repair or redevelopment facts and absence of marketing/sale must be checked under the applicable law before relying on an exemption.
Project names used in brochures do not determine legal classification. Verify sanctioned use, approvals, land and development documents, inventory and current official records.
Project registration is more than a portal filing. It connects project eligibility, land and approval records, disclosures, advertising, finance, construction updates and continuing promoter responsibilities.
Where registration is required, the promoter should not advertise, market, book, sell or offer units before registration. Registration creates a public project record and an ongoing disclosure framework.
Applicability depends on the Act, State/UT Rules, project or phase size, number of apartments, approvals, completion status and any available exemption. Each phase may require separate consideration.
The statutory definition can cover a builder, developer, coloniser, development authority, person constructing for sale, and—in some arrangements—landowner or other participant. Roles must be reviewed from the actual documents.
Promoter constitution, land title and encumbrance information, development rights, sanctioned plans, commencement approvals, layout/specifications, professional certificates, draft transaction documents and prescribed financial details.
Information is collected, professional and legal records are coordinated, portal fields are prepared, prescribed declarations and fees are submitted, and Authority queries—if any—are answered with supporting records.
Registered projects can require periodic updates, accurate advertisements, use of the project registration number, maintenance of records, designated-account discipline and current disclosure of construction, booking and approval information.
Material changes, revised plans, project extension, correction, completion and closure-related steps may require prescribed applications, consent, professional certification or Authority approval depending on the facts.
Verify the official project record, promoter identity, validity and status, disclosed approvals, phase, litigation/encumbrance information, agreement terms, payment milestones and latest updates. Registration alone is not an investment guarantee.
RERA creates a regulated framework for project disclosure, registration, professional conduct and grievance redressal. Compliance should be treated as an ongoing responsibility—not a one-time certificate.
Registered-project information, declared timelines and project particulars help buyers make more informed enquiries and preserve a verifiable record.
Registration supports responsible practice, clearer identification, better record-keeping and confidence while dealing in covered projects.
Registration and periodic disclosure create an organised framework for project information, advertisements, updates and stakeholder communication.
A common regulatory structure supports fairer transactions, traceable information and formal mechanisms for complaints and appeals.
Applicable Government fees are payable separately. MCA professional consultancy charges are additional and are determined after reviewing the requirement, applicant category, jurisdiction, document status and agreed scope of work. Charges are communicated for acceptance before work begins.
Official fees, taxes and payment modes can change; the final Government amount must be confirmed on the relevant official portal on the payment date.
Based on the Maharashtra Rules and the MahaRERA direction classifying a proprietary concern with the individual-fee category prospectively.
View official MahaRERA order →Project type, proposed development area, corrections, extensions, complaint filing and other applications may carry different prescribed fees.
For any State or Union Territory outside Maharashtra, the applicable official fee schedule must be checked before payment.
Understand project registration →Request MCA assistance →Professional charges depend on the jurisdiction, applicant type, number and condition of documents, portal stage, urgency and agreed scope. A written quotation is provided after preliminary review.
The Authority decides liability and quantum on the facts and applicable law. The summaries below are only an awareness guide.
Promoter penalty may extend up to 10% of the estimated project cost. Continued non-compliance with the registration order can attract further statutory consequences.
Contravention of Sections 9 or 10 may attract ₹10,000 for every day of default, cumulatively up to 5% of the cost of the relevant property.
Separate provisions prescribe consequences where promoters or agents fail to comply with orders of the Authority or Appellate Tribunal.
The Act also provides consequences for an allottee’s failure to comply with orders of the Authority or Appellate Tribunal.
Requirements differ by applicant type, State/UT rules and portal instructions. These are practical starting checklists; the final list is confirmed after a case review.
Use these columns as an initial preparation list. The final checklist depends on the State/UT, applicant constitution, portal version, project facts and latest official directions.
Our learning support is designed for agents, sales professionals, brokerage teams and new entrants. Training and examination requirements are not identical across India; the applicable State/UT authority’s current framework must be checked.

Every engagement begins with understanding the requirement. We then provide a defined scope, document checklist, fee clarity and the next steps. Approval and statutory decisions always remain with the concerned RERA Authority.
MCA is not a Government or MahaRERA office and does not issue registrations or guarantee outcomes. Service and enquiry figures are based on MCA’s available internal records and refer to assistance provided by MCA—not to approvals issued by an Authority. Legal opinion and representation are referred to appropriately qualified professionals where required.

Search registration, renewal, fees, documents, training, complaints and verification. The answers provide general information; current State/UT rules and the facts of each case must still be checked.
No. MahaRera Consultant and Associates (MCA) is an independent private consultancy. We do not represent, form part of, or claim endorsement by the Government, MahaRERA or any other RERA Authority.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 creates a regulatory framework intended to improve transparency, accountability and consumer protection in covered real-estate activity. State and Union Territory Authorities administer their applicable Rules, portals and procedures.
MCA has been providing RERA process, documentation and educational assistance to the real-estate community since 2017.
A person or entity facilitating the sale or purchase of property in projects covered by RERA may need registration with the appropriate State/UT Authority. This can include individuals, proprietorships, partnership firms, LLPs, companies, brokerage firms and marketing organisations. The exact activity and local rules should be reviewed.
Yes, eligible non-individual entities may apply in the appropriate category, subject to the applicable Authority’s forms, entity documents, responsible-person details, fees and other requirements. The applicant type must match the legal constitution shown in its records.
Commonly requested records include identity and address proof, PAN, photographs, business-address proof, constitution or incorporation records, details of partners/directors/authorised persons, and prescribed declarations. The final checklist depends on the State/UT, applicant type and current portal requirements.
Validity and renewal windows depend on the applicable Authority. In Maharashtra, verify the period shown on the registration certificate and begin document review well before expiry. Renewal is not automatic and should be filed in the prescribed manner with current documents and fees.
No. MCA can help organise information, review documents and support the filing process, but approval, rejection, queries and processing time remain under the concerned Authority.
Use the concerned RERA Authority’s official public-search facility and check the registration number, validity, name and available certificate details. Training or examination completion should not be treated as a substitute for a valid agent registration where registration is required.
Project-registration applicability depends on the Act, applicable Rules, statutory thresholds, project facts and available exemptions. A promoter should assess the complete project and phase details before advertising, marketing, booking or selling.
The file may include promoter and entity records, title and encumbrance information, sanctioned plans and approvals, project specifications, professional certificates, development or collaboration documents, draft allotment/agreement documents and financial or bank-related particulars prescribed by the Authority.
Section 3 of the central Act restricts advertising, marketing, booking, selling or offering for sale of a project that is required to be registered until registration is obtained. Applicability and any exemption must be verified for the specific project.
Registration is not the end of compliance. Promoters may have continuing portal updates, disclosures, certificates and other obligations under the applicable law and Authority directions. The exact calendar should be built from the project’s State/UT requirements.
No, unless a written quotation expressly says otherwise. Government or Authority fees are paid separately. MCA’s professional charges, applicable taxes and authorised third-party expenses are additional and are confirmed according to the agreed scope.
Charges depend on the service, applicant type, number and condition of documents, urgency, portal work, corrections, queries and follow-up required. MCA provides a scope-based quotation after an initial discussion; there is no approval-linked guarantee.
MCA should explain the changed scope and obtain the client’s approval before separately chargeable work is undertaken. Government fees, professional certificates, notarisation, translation, travel and other third-party costs may be billed separately when applicable.
Not merely because MCA operates a website, accepts online payments or serves clients in more than one State. For a service provider in Maharashtra, registration is generally linked to the applicable PAN-wise aggregate-turnover threshold and any special compulsory-registration condition. Until MCA is validly GST-registered, GST should not be collected and a GST tax invoice should not be issued. The current financial-year turnover and business structure should be reviewed periodically with a tax professional.
MCA will issue a payment or service receipt showing the client, service reference, amount, payment mode and date. Government fees, MCA professional charges and approved third-party expenses will be identified separately. A GST tax invoice will be issued only when MCA holds a valid GST registration and the transaction requires it.
Yes. MCA offers concept learning, practical process guidance, document awareness, revision and exam-preparation support. Where an Authority mandates training, assessment or certification through recognised providers, that official framework must be followed separately.
Requirements can include identity proof, photograph, contact details, agent-registration particulars and the documents specified by the recognised training or examination body. Candidates should rely on the current official instructions for their State/UT and examination cycle.
Section 31 of the central Act permits an aggrieved person to file a complaint for an alleged violation against a promoter, allottee or real-estate agent, subject to the applicable Rules, form, fee, jurisdiction and facts. Associations and consumer bodies may also fall within the statutory meaning stated in the Act.
A clear chronology, parties’ details, project and registration information, booking or agreement records, payment evidence, correspondence, notices, possession or delay records, relief requested and properly organised supporting documents are usually important. Legal advice or representation should be handled by a qualified advocate where required.
MCA provides general information, record organisation and process support. Legal opinion, protected legal drafting and appearance or representation before a forum should be entrusted to a qualified and authorised legal professional.
Depending on the contravention, the Act can provide monetary or continuing penalties, consequences affecting registration and sanctions for failure to comply with Authority or Tribunal orders. The competent forum determines liability on the facts and applicable law.
No. The central Act provides the overall framework, while State/UT Rules, Authority orders, forms, fees, portals, training systems and procedural requirements can differ. MCA follows an All-India core approach with State/UT-specific verification.
Official registration information can be linked from the concerned Authority’s public portal. Personal mobile numbers or other contact data should be published only with a lawful basis and appropriate consent. MCA does not label anyone “certified” unless that status is verifiable from an authoritative source.
No. Do not enter Aadhaar, PAN, passwords, OTPs, bank details or confidential records in the general form. It only prepares a WhatsApp enquiry for your review; MCA will explain an appropriate document-handover process after the initial discussion.
