Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority Clears Record 6,945 Homebuyer Complaints in 2025 The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRera) reported a significant increase in the resolution of homebuyer complaints in 2025, clearing a record 6,945 cases compared to 5,073 new complaints filed during the year. This resulted in a disposal rate of 137%, reflecting the regulator’s efforts to expedite case resolutions. Officials attributed the surge to an accelerated pace of hearings, which helped reduce a long-pending backlog while ensuring newly filed complaints were addressed within months of registration.

Over its first seven years, the authority received a total of 23,854 complaints, of which 14,902 were resolved. During this period, the annual disposal rate typically ranged between 50% and 70%. However, the pace of case resolution improved significantly in recent years. Between 2024 and 2025, 10,235 complaints were filed, with 13,003 resolved, pushing the disposal rate to 127%. As of now, approximately 6,000 complaints remain pending, though authorities noted that hearings for nearly all existing cases had already begun, except for those filed in the past few months. In 2024, the authority received 3,868 complaints but resolved 4,775 cases, including older ones, achieving a disposal rate of 123%. The momentum continued in 2025, with 6,945 cases resolved during the year. Officials emphasized that delays in property possession, substandard construction, and the absence of promised facilities often lead to disputes between developers and buyers.#maharashtra_real_estate_regulatory_authority #manoj_saunik #mahesh_pathak #ravindra_deshpande #maha_rera
