MahaRERA halts real estate project grading initiative due to legal constraints
Author : PNT Bureau
MahaRERA has decided to halt its proposed grading system for real estate projects in Maharashtra, citing that the Real Estate Regulatory Act, 2016, does not empower it to implement such a system.

The decision follows opposition from developers and concerns about legal complications. In 2023, the Bombay High Court questioned whether MahaRERA could rate developers to aid buyer decisions. Since 2017, MahaRERA has registered 47,400 projects, completed 15,600, and resolved 17,900 complaints....
Gurugram: DTCP resumes issuing occupation certificates for stilt-plus-four buildings
Author : PNT Bureau

Processing faced delays due to a High Court stay, which was lifted last month, allowing DTCP to resume on a priority basis. This progress has brought relief to property owners awaiting compliance and recognition for their investments....
