MahaRERA has recovered nearly ₹269 crore for homebuyers — but recovery still takes effort
15 Aug 2026 · Information, not legal advice
Figures since 2017 show orders can be enforced, while a large amount awarded still remains uncollected.
MahaRERA reported recovering close to ₹269 crore for homebuyers since it began operating in 2017. At the same time, coverage of MahaRERA recovery data indicates that a large share of the total amount ordered against builders has still not reached buyers, showing that an award and actual payment are not the same thing.
What it means for you: A favourable MahaRERA order is real and enforceable, but recovering the money can take persistence and follow-up. Don't assume payment is automatic once you 'win' — track the recovery stage of your case. Understanding a builder's track record before you buy can lower the odds you end up in this situation.
