Methodology & data sources

Everything we show about a project is derived from public MahaRERA records — the registration details, possession timelines, quarterly construction progress, complaint counts and orders that promoters are required by law to disclose under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. This information is published by the Authority for public viewing; we simply read it and translate it into plain English.

• We fetch a project's record when a user looks it up — the same public page any citizen can open — and cache it, so we don't repeatedly load the portal.
• We always link back to the official MahaRERA page and tell you to verify there.
• We do not alter the record, and we add nothing that isn't traceable to a public source.

The Safety Score reads like a credit score: higher is safer. Under the hood we compute a transparent, additive risk score from the factors below — each one adds points of risk — and the Safety Score is simply 100 minus that risk. The more risk points a project accumulates, the lower its safety. We also show a Low / Medium / High risk band alongside the number as a plain-English warning.

A few states — de-registration, revocation, or a project kept in abeyance — are categorical “do not transact” signals and set the score to its riskiest regardless of the other factors.

A clean record doesn't tell you if a tower will finish on time. Delivery confidence (0–100, higher = better) blends construction progress, the pace of building against the time elapsed, the promoter's on-time delivery record, and how far the Commencement Certificatecovers the sanctioned floors. It's why a 71%-built project can rank ahead of a spotless-but-not-yet-started one.

Some risk never shows up in a registration: early-stage construction, a partial Commencement Certificate, a one-sided Agreement for Sale, a mortgaged plot, or missing quarterly filings. Buyer readiness captures this transaction-siderisk, so a clean public record can't masquerade as a full clearance.

• They are interpretive aids built from factual public signals, to help you ask better questions before you pay.
• They are not legal advice, not a verdict, and not a judgment on the character or conduct of any promoter.
• Public records can be incomplete or delayed. Always verify on the official MahaRERA portal and have an advocate review any document before you rely on it.

HomeBuyerSaathi is strictly buyer-side. We are never paid by builders, we take no listing fees, and no promoter can pay to change a score. Our only incentive is to help home buyers see clearly.

If you're a promoter, buyer or anyone who spots something inaccurate, use the “Report a correction” link on any project page — it goes to our Grievance Officer, who reviews every report and corrects genuine data errors within the timelines required by law.
