The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) is on the verge of transforming real estate project management by launching its new project application portal on May 5. The newly designed project application portal will improve the registration and extension process for housing projects and tasking housing projects with greater efficiency and transparency. This effort will be a significant advance for the real estate sector in Maharashtra, and the developer/promoter and other stakeholders will benefit from it.
Key Features of MahaRERA's New Project Application Portal
The new project application portal of MahaRERA will streamline and optimize the housing project-related aspects from applications to registration. Here are the highlighted benefits:
1. Fast Registration: Developers will be able to easily register their new housing projects without much paperwork and hindrances.
2. Easy Extension Requests: Developers will be able to apply to extend for project completions through the portal. Developers will have a seamless process in submitting for requests. Further, this will ensure timely submissions and approvals, which in turn will reduce builder delays.
3. Fast Corrections: Users will have an easily navigable space to fix anything that needs correcting relative to the project input. This will ensure the information they present to MahaRERA is true and correct.
4. Follow Your Applications: Promoters will be able to view their application status in real-time, and know where they stand in the process.
5. Better UI: an upgrade on the user interface regarding ease of navigation and usability, particularly for members of the project team and members of the MahaRERA.
6. Better Project Information: Developers will be able to upload information about their project in floor by floor apartments, and create a clearer understanding of what the builders are dealing with.

Transition from the Existing System
MahaRERA has assured builders and developers who made applications for project registrations, extensions, or changes using the current portal that their applications would not be impacted. The applications will be processed on the existing system and will not require a new application in the new portal. Thus, you could still complete your existing activities without interruption.
However, MahaRERA emphasized the importance of keeping your profile updated and accurate on the new portal. For developers starting their businesses or making changes to develop profiles, there will be no fees to enter the new portal.
Expert Insights on the New Portal

It ensures accuracy, accountability, and timely resolution of grievances, streamlining processes and reducing delays. It is a step towards more transparency and efficiency in the real estate industry."
