The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has asked various planning authorities in the state to act against 293 real-estate projects that are being developed without requisite permissions, said a top official of the authority.
Interestingly, the regulator has gathered information about these projects through emails sent by various people on a specific email id floated to find out about projects that need registration but have not been registered.
“Most of these cases are from the jurisdiction outside of Mumbai. Some are from places like Bhiwandi and places that fall under gram panchayats. They do not have approvals in place from the competent authorities, like the town planning department,” said Gautam Chatterjee, chairman of MahaRERA.
