What goes wrong — Maharashtra and Thane specifics

MahaRERA's Conciliation Forum is often faster than adjudication

Maharashtra runs a conciliation mechanism jointly with developer and buyer bodies. For delay and refund disputes it frequently produces a settlement in weeks rather than months, and it is worth considering before filing a contested complaint.

Redevelopment projects carry distinct obligations

Mumbai and Thane redevelopment projects involve existing members as well as new buyers, with obligations on rent, alternate accommodation and timelines that differ from a greenfield project.

Choose one forum — RERA, consumer court or NCLT — not all three

The same grievance can often go to RERA, a consumer commission, or the NCLT if the builder is insolvent. Filing in parallel weakens your position and can lead to dismissal. The right forum depends on what you actually want: refund, possession, compensation or interest.

An unregistered project narrows your options

RERA registration is mandatory for most projects above the threshold. If the project was never registered, the Authority can penalise the promoter, but your remedy for delay or refund may be better pursued elsewhere.

Insolvency changes everything

Once a developer enters insolvency, a moratorium under Section 14 of the IBC halts RERA proceedings, and homebuyers must file claims as financial creditors in the resolution process instead. Continuing before RERA at that point achieves nothing.

Delay interest accrues but must be claimed correctly

Interest for delayed possession runs at the rate prescribed under the state rules, typically linked to SBI's highest marginal cost of lending rate plus a margin. Claiming an incorrect rate or period is a common reason awards fall short of expectation.

Ghodbunder Road corridor land classification

Much of the Ghodbunder corridor was agricultural or forest-adjacent land brought into development recently. Classification and conversion status should be confirmed before a gift, since restrictions on agricultural land transfer still apply.

Thane, Kalyan-Dombivli and Ulhasnagar are separate corporations

Properties across the Thane district fall under different municipal bodies with different mutation procedures. The SRO jurisdiction and the mutation authority are not always the same body people assume.

Co-operative society and complex-level compliance

Large gated complexes on Ghodbunder Road and at Hiranandani Estate operate through societies or federations whose transfer procedures must be followed alongside registration.
