Chorus grows for changes in RERA amid slow execution of orders
Homebuyers in Pune are upset about the slow execution of MahaRERA orders and have called for changes to the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, to hasten order execution.
“There needs to be a change to RERA. For the hearing and judgement on the execution of applications under the Act, we have demanded a stringent deadline. This should be included in the 2017 MahaRERA regulations. Otherwise, the Act’s entire goal and the real estate authority would be ineffective, according to citizen activist Shridhar Joshi.
Homebuyer Madhavi Mehta, who intends to file a complaint with MahaRERA, questioned why citizens should turn to the High Court when there is already a quasi-judicial body in place.
Although MahaRERA instructs the promoter to pay the awarded sum to the allottees within 30-45 days of the date of ruling, it is not carried out on time, according to Ramesh Prabhu, chairman of the Maharashtra Society Welfare Association. The first hearing date only appears 12 to 18 months after the allottees approach MahaRERA regarding the failure to carry out the order, according to Prabhu.
As required by section 63 of RERA, Prabhu added, “If the promoter fails to file the compliance affidavit, the MahaRERA should levy the penalty on a daily basis until the order is complied with.”

“I am fighting for at least 40 flat buyers of a project where orders of compensation have been passed but not carried out,” said attorney Manjunath Kakkalameli. I believe that a separate system should be in place to ensure that MahaRERA orders are executed promptly.
Nine orders executed:
Last week, nine MahaRERA recovery warrant orders totaling Rs 8.72 crore, eight from Mumbai and one from Pune, were carried out.
