Flat buyers, aggrieved by delayed possession of their flats and who are flooding MahaRERA with refund complaints, are now raising serious concerns about ineffective order enforcement. Experts debate whether to penalise non-compliant developers or adopt the Gujarat RERA Model.

Despite appointing a retired collector for recovery, MahaRERA’s objectives remain unmet. Litigants have reported fruitless pursuits with MahaRERA orders, and subsequent warrants, but to date, few have received any money, as the recovery and auction of property is handled by the revenue officials under the respective district collectors, after MahaRERA issues warrants.
