MahaRERA Launches New SOP for Faster Compensation Recovery from Defaulting Builders

Dated on: Monday 1st December 2025

MahaRERA has introduced a new SOP to speed up compensation recovery from developers who ignore regulatory orders. Under the updated process, builders must pay the ordered compensation within 60 days. If they fail, homebuyers can file a non-compliance request, triggering a hearing within four weeks. MahaRERA can then initiate strong enforcement measures, including attaching the developer’s assets or property. For repeated non-compliance, the case may be sent to civil court, where developers can face stricter recovery actions and even civil imprisonment. This move aims to strengthen buyer protection and ensure timely payouts.
