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.

Understanding RERA and MahaRERA

Reliable compliance begins with understanding the law, the authority and the responsibilities attached to a real-estate transaction.

01

What is RERA?

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 →
02

What is MahaRERA?

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 →
03

Why agent registration matters

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.

Key RERA definitions

Agent, promoter and allottee—understand the role, not only the title

The Act uses broad functional definitions. The actual activity, documents and transaction structure matter more than the label used by a person or business.

01

Real-estate agent

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.

02

Promoter

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.

03

Allottee

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.

04

Buyer, investor and landowner

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.

Project categories explained

Understand the project type before checking registration and documents

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.

01

Residential project

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.

02

Commercial project

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.

03

Plotted development

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.

04

Mixed-use project

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.

05

Redevelopment project

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.

06

Joint-development project

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.

07

Ongoing project

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.

08

Phase or extension

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.

09

Layout, township or integrated development

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.

10

Exempt or completed project claim

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 RERA Knowledge

For builders, developers, promoters and investors

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.

Builders & DevelopersRegistration planning, approvals, professional certificates and compliance calendar
Promoters & LandownersPromoter-role identification, development arrangements and disclosure responsibility
Investors & BuyersOfficial project verification, disclosed status and transaction due-diligence questions
Marketing OrganisationsRegistration-number checks, compliant advertising and authorised project information
Indian project team reviewing project plans and organised registration records
Project information, approvals and records should be organised before filing.
01

Why project registration matters

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.

02

When registration may apply

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.

03

Who is treated as promoter

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.

04

Core document groups

Promoter constitution, land title and encumbrance information, development rights, sanctioned plans, commencement approvals, layout/specifications, professional certificates, draft transaction documents and prescribed financial details.

05

Application and registration

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.

06

Continuing promoter duties

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.

07

Changes, extension and completion

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.

08

Investor due diligence

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.

Need a project-specific checklist?MCA can prepare a preliminary information-and-document checklist after reviewing the State/UT, project type, phase, approvals and current filing stage.

Why RERA matters

Trust grows when information and responsibility are clear

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.

For buyers

Better visibility

Registered-project information, declared timelines and project particulars help buyers make more informed enquiries and preserve a verifiable record.

For agents

Professional credibility

Registration supports responsible practice, clearer identification, better record-keeping and confidence while dealing in covered projects.

For promoters

Structured compliance

Registration and periodic disclosure create an organised framework for project information, advertisements, updates and stakeholder communication.

For the market

Transparency & accountability

A common regulatory structure supports fairer transactions, traceable information and formal mechanisms for complaints and appeals.

Advantages of registration and compliance

  • Lawful participation in activities covered by the applicable RERA framework
  • Greater customer confidence through a verifiable registration identity
  • Better discipline in advertisements, records and transaction communication
  • Improved readiness for renewals, inspections, queries and reporting
  • Reduced risk of avoidable penalties, stoppages and reputation damage

Risks of non-compliance

  • Monetary penalties under the applicable provisions
  • Continuing daily penalties in specified cases
  • Registration rejection, suspension, revocation or lapse-related disruption
  • Restrictions on marketing or dealing in covered projects
  • Proceedings for non-compliance with Authority or Tribunal orders
  • Loss of customer confidence and weak documentary defence
Government fee information

Know the official fee before filing

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.

GST and receipt clarification: If MCA is not registered under GST, GST will not be collected and the client will receive a Payment Receipt or Service Receipt—not a GST tax invoice. After a valid GST registration becomes applicable or is obtained, the prescribed GST and compliant tax invoice process will be followed. Government/Authority payments remain separate and are supported by the concerned portal or Authority receipt.
Compliance consequences

Selected penalties under the Central RERA Act

The Authority decides liability and quantum on the facts and applicable law. The summaries below are only an awareness guide.

Section 59

Project non-registration

Promoter penalty may extend up to 10% of the estimated project cost. Continued non-compliance with the registration order can attract further statutory consequences.

Section 62

Agent contravention

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.

Sections 63–66

Failure to obey orders

Separate provisions prescribe consequences where promoters or agents fail to comply with orders of the Authority or Appellate Tribunal.

Sections 67–68

Allottee non-compliance

The Act also provides consequences for an allottee’s failure to comply with orders of the Authority or Appellate Tribunal.

Legal note: Always read the complete provision, State/UT Rules and latest orders before taking action. Penalty exposure should be assessed by a qualified legal professional.

Answers to the questions clients ask most

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.

27 answers
Are you an official MahaRERA office?

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.

What is RERA and why is it important?

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.

Since when has MCA been providing RERA-related services?

MCA has been providing RERA process, documentation and educational assistance to the real-estate community since 2017.

Who may need real-estate-agent registration?

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.

Can a proprietorship, partnership, company or marketing firm apply?

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.

What documents are generally required for agent registration?

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.

How long is an agent registration valid and when should renewal start?

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.

Can MCA guarantee registration or renewal approval?

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.

How can I verify a registered or certified agent?

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.

Which real-estate projects require registration?

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.

What project documents are generally reviewed?

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.

Can a project be advertised before registration?

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.

Are project updates and periodic compliance also required?

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.

Are Government fees included in MCA’s professional fee?

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.

How are MCA professional service charges decided?

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.

What if additional work is discovered after starting?

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.

Is GST registration compulsory for MCA immediately?

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.

What receipt will I receive for an online or offline payment?

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.

Do you provide RERA training and exam preparation?

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.

Which documents may be needed for training or examination?

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.

Who can make a RERA complaint?

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.

What is normally needed to prepare a complaint or reply?

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.

Does MCA provide legal representation?

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.

What can happen if RERA requirements are not followed?

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.

Are requirements the same in every State and Union Territory?

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.

Can MCA publish agent or project contact details?

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.

Can I upload sensitive documents through the enquiry form?

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.
