Before you buy · 4 min readHow to Check a Project on MahaRERA
Reviewed against MahaRERA rules · Informational, not legal advice
The short version: Every registered project has a public record. Five minutes on the MahaRERA portal tells you more than any brochure — here's exactly what to read.
Step by step
1
Search the project
On the MahaRERA portal, search by project name, promoter name, or registration number.
2
Read the registration status
Registered/active, extended, lapsed, revoked, de-registered or in abeyance. Anything other than a live registration is a red flag.
3
Compare original vs revised completion date
Each extension is a delay the builder has already booked. A date pushed years out is a warning.
4
Open the complaints & orders tab
One complaint is noise; a pattern — many complaints, adverse orders — is signal.
5
Check the promoter's other projects
Their wider record — how many lapsed, revoked or complaint-heavy — tells you who you're buying from.

What to watch for
- A RERA number the sales team gives you that opens a different project.
- “Registered” projects whose registration has actually lapsed.
