MHADA Price Cut: 6,248 Kalyan Flats Now Cheaper for EWS Homebuyers

In a major relief for economically weaker sections, MHADA’s Konkan Board has significantly reduced the sale prices of 6,248 flats in Kalyan’s Shirgaon and Khoni. These homes, part of the “First Come, First Served” scheme, will now be over ₹1 lakh cheaper, making home ownership more accessible.
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.
