Legal Roadmap for Enforcing MahaRERA Refund Orders
If a builder in Maharashtra doesn't give a refund ordered by MahaRERA, homebuyers can take legal steps.
After 60 days, if the builder doesn't follow the order, the homebuyer can file an online application.
MahaRERA will then direct the builder to comply.
If the builder still doesn't comply, they must disclose their assets.
MahaRERA can then take steps like issuing a recovery warrant or sending the case to a civil court.
The collector can attach and auction the builder's property to recover the money owed to the homebuyer.
This process ensures that homebuyers get their refunds and builders are held accountable.
MahaRERA orders become final and enforceable after 60 days if not appealed.
Homebuyers can file an online non-compliance application if the builder doesn't comply.
MahaRERA can direct the builder to disclose assets and impose penalties for non-compliance.
Recovery measures include issuing a Recovery Warrant or Revenue Recovery Certificate.
The collector can attach and auction the builder's property to recover the amount owed.
