What to Check in Your Allotment Letter

Reviewed against MahaRERA rules · Informational, not legal advice

The short version: The allotment letter is your first written record of exactly what you're buying. Check every detail now — it's what the registered agreement will lock in.

Confirm each of these

1

Flat, floor & wing

The exact unit — a wrong number here follows you into the agreement.

2

Carpet area

Stated in carpet area (the RERA basis), not super built-up.

3

Price break-up

Agreement value plus each charge, itemised — not one round figure.

4

Payment schedule

Construction-linked milestones, matching the stages you'll pay for.

5

Project name & RERA number

Both present, and matching the project you checked.

6

Booking amount & refund terms

What you've paid, and what's refundable if you cancel.

7

Possession date

A specific committed date, referenced clearly.

What to watch for

  • Area quoted on super built-up instead of carpet.
  • A vague or missing possession date.
  • Charges bundled into one number instead of itemised.
