With the intention of curbing developers from registering multiple projects on the same land, leading to multiple litigations filed by affected flat buyers, MahaRERA had issued a circular on January 10 directing developers to refrain from such practices. Experts practising in MahaRERA have welcomed the decision, stating that this would bring in much-needed transparency. Flat buyers and housing societies under redevelopment have to no longer worry about multiple Project Registrations under MahaRERA on the same plot of land. 

Multiple registrations
“It is high time this order was made effective. We represent litigants on two such projects, one in Malad and one in Mahim, where multiple registrations have been done on the same plot of land, with the same CTS numbers by two different sets of developers and both procured a MahaRERA registration number. Now owing to this number, both parties are claiming rights as authentic developers to the plot and wrestling with each other to develop the plot and oust the other one. Obviously, both developers have huge commercial interests due to new sale-purchases,” pointed out Advocate Anil D’souza, secretary, Bar Association of MahaRERA.
