Monitoring financial progress

MahaRERA has taken a clear stand that all forms should be updated without delay from the first quarter. “Carelessness and delay in this regard will not be tolerated,” it said. The regulator is going to monitor the quarterly financial progress report of the projects from the first quarter.

Under MahaRERA rules, developers must open a separate account in a nationalised bank for each project and 70 per cent of the money coming from customers have to be kept in this account. Submissions certified by the project engineer, architect and chartered accountant of each project are required to be submitted at the time of withdrawal of the amount.
