WON AT MAHARERA? THE REVIEW TRAP, EXPLAINED
महारेरात जिंकलात? बिल्डरची 'रिव्ह्यू'ची पळवाट आता बंद A homebuyer who won a refund-with-interest order in a delayed-possession case in August 2025 found the developer back at MahaRERA months later — not with an appeal, but with a review application. By order dated June 11, 2026, the Authority rejected the attempt, restating the boundary that protects every buyer holding a favourable order: review under Section 39 of the RERA Act read with Regulation 36 of the MahaRERA General Regulations, 2017 is confined to correcting a clerical, mathematical, or apparent legal error, or considering genuinely new evidence. It is not a second hearing of the same arguments. The Authority found the developer had identified no such error and produced no new material — the application simply re-argued the lost case. The remedy for a party aggrieved by a MahaRERA order is an appeal to the Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, which for promoters carries its own pre-deposit discipline. A review filed in place of an appeal functions, in most such cases, as delay — and the June 11 order confirms the Authority's disposition to treat it as such.
