Date of Possession is Sacrosanct: Tribunal Slams MahaRERA for Illegally Altering Agreed Timeline

In a major victory for homebuyers, MahaREAT has overturned MahaRERA’s order in the Cavansite project case, ruling that the possession date in a registered agreement is sacrosanct and cannot be changed by any authority without mutual consent.
In a key ruling, MahaRERA held that even when an Agreement for Sale is silent on the possession date, the builder must hand over the flat within a reasonable period of three years from the agreement date — failing which, interest is payable for the delay period. The order in the Mauli Omkar project case awarded interest from March 2019 to April 2023 to complainant Sabirali Tufhel Shaikh.

In a key ruling, MahaRERA held that even when an Agreement for Sale is silent on the possession date, the builder must hand over the flat within a reasonable period of three years from the agreement date — failing which, interest is payable for the delay period. The order in the Mauli Omkar project case awarded interest from March 2019 to April 2023 to complainant Sabirali Tufhel Shaikh.
MahaREAT has ruled that homebuyers who file civil suits first for possession and interest cannot later file RERA complaints for identical reliefs, dismissing RERA complaints as non-maintainable due to forum shopping.
