Homebuyer Paid to Director of Real Estate Firm, Director Died, Surviving Directors Claimed Ignorance — MahaRERA Steps In to Deliver Justice

In a significant win for homebuyers, MahaRERA and the Appellate Tribunal upheld a 2005 booking despite the handling director’s death and promoters’ denial of knowledge, directing execution of agreement for an equivalent flat or refund with interest — a reminder of RERA’s buyer protections even in legacy cases.

After a Decade of Waiting, MahaRERA Orders Homebuyer to Settle Remaining Payment for Flat Booking

On October 17, 2024, MahaRERA issued a significant order in the case of Rajendra Bhabutmal Shah vs. Shatrughan Bhanudas Chavare, instructing the homebuyer to pay the outstanding balance for a flat booked nearly ten years ago. This decision emphasizes the need for adherence to contractual commitments in real estate dealings.
