Developers in the state will now be required to post a “Quality Assurance Certificate” on their website in addition to providing it to the MahaRERA at the conclusion of each fiscal year. The MahaRERA General (Amendment) Regulations, 2024, which were added to the MahaRERA General Regulations, 2017, included this required requirement. The regulation comes into effect right away upon its publication in the state gazette.
This certificate will be granted based on a number of factors that affect building quality, such as the project’s structural design, stability, results of various tests, kinds of raw materials used, workforce skill level, fire safety precautions, and fire resistance measures.
Because building regulations and builders’ responsibility have increased, buyers should expect higher-quality residences as a result. According to a MahaRERA press release, the decision was made after conferring with all pertinent parties to guarantee that the construction is of the highest caliber and that the defect responsibility clause is not necessary.
The notice states that information from project engineers and supervisors will be required, and that the builder will need to confirm the information before releasing the “Quality Assurance Certificate” to the public. As a result, developers will be held to a higher standard and customers will be guaranteed high-quality homes.
According to the MahaRERA Act, a developer’s defect responsibility term is five years from the date of ownership, during which time they must make any necessary repairs to the houses. All complaints must be resolved within 30 days, at the buyer’s expense.
