MahaRera tells builders to put up plans at sites

Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRera) has directed developers to ensure sanctioned plans, along with specifications approved by the competent authority, are displayed at their work or construction sites. A circular issued last week threatened strict action for failure to comply. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had made it mandatory for real estate firms to display approved building plans at project sites. "While developers are uploading plans anddetails on the site, they are not doing soat construction sites. This will be mandatory now," said MahaRera secretary Vasant Prabhu. He said citizens could contact MahaRERAand file a complaint or sendsite after paying Rs5,000. This came after a July 31 order of Bombay high court that makes it mandatory for MahaRera to hear consumer complaints, irrespective of the registration status of the project.
