What should I check first in a MahaRERA registration?

Two fields. First, whether the possession date has been revised since registration — the original date and the current one are both on file. Second, whether the disclosed construction progress makes the current date physically reachable. Roughly 19% of registered projects have revised their date, and 2,894 are advertising possession within twelve months while under 50% built.

Is construction progress on MahaRERA verified?

No. Physical progress is the promoter's own quarterly self-disclosure to the regulator. It is a legally-filed number, which makes it useful and citable, but it is not independently audited.

What does it mean if a project is at 90% but has moved its date by years?

A near-complete project that keeps deferring possession usually points at something other than construction — funding, litigation, or a pending occupation certificate. It is worth asking the promoter specifically which, because the remaining 10% is not the binding constraint.

Does a RERA number mean a project is safe?

No. Registration means the project is disclosed and within the regulator's jurisdiction. It is not an approval, a quality assessment, or a guarantee of delivery. The value of the number is that it gives you a record to read.

How to read a MahaRERA registration before you book

A registration record has dozens of fields. Two of them do almost all the work, and neither appears on the brochure.

Last reviewed 4 August 2026

Field one: has the possession date already moved?

Every promoter files a proposed completion date when they register, and must file a revision if it changes. Both dates stay on the record. The portal shows you the current one, so the change is invisible unless you go looking.

Across 41,302 registered projects with both dates on file, 7,831 (19%) have moved the date they originally filed. The median revision is two years. The longest is 15.9 years.

The useful signal is not the length of any one revision but whether this promoter has revised before, and whether they have done it across their other projects too.

Field two: does the progress make the date reachable?

Promoters self-disclose physical construction progress each quarter. Put that number next to the possession date and the arithmetic is usually obvious.

2,894 projects are currently advertising possession within twelve months while reporting under 50% construction progress. Both numbers were filed by the same promoter, with the same regulator, in the same quarter.

A separate 1,904 are already past their deadline at exactly 0% progress — registered, marketed, and not started.

Reading the combinations

Low progress, date never moved. Early-stage and honest so far. The date is a forecast; treat it as one.
High progress, date moved repeatedly. Usually funding, litigation or an occupation-certificate problem rather than construction. Ask which.
High progress, date never moved. The best combination available in this dataset, and more common than the discourse suggests — 81% of projects have never revised.
Low progress, near-term date. The arithmetic does not work. Ask the promoter to reconcile the two filings.

What registration does not tell you

Registration is disclosure, not approval. It does not assess build quality, does not guarantee delivery, and does not mean the regulator has inspected anything. Progress figures are unaudited. What it does give you is a dated, legally-filed record that you can compare against what you were told in the sales office.

Look up a project

Every tracked project's record page carries its filed and current possession dates, disclosed progress, complaint records and litigation status. You can browse the full registry, projects reporting 100% complete, or projects past their own deadline.
