The brochure for the under construction tower in Chembur promised possession by December 2025. When a cautious buyer opened the project's own MahaRERA page, the completion date shown there was not December 2025 at all. It had been revised, quietly, to a date well into 2027. Nobody had lied to her face. The developer had simply updated the regulator while the marketing kept smiling. That gap between the sales pitch and the RERA record is exactly what an under construction buyer needs to learn to read.

The short answer. Every project registered with MahaRERA carries a proposed completion date, and promoters can file a revised completion date that is recorded on the project's official page at maharera.maharashtra.gov.in. Promoters are also required to update project details on a quarterly and annual basis, so the portal shows both the promised timeline and the progress against it. The honest limit is that MahaRERA registration and these disclosures do not guarantee on time delivery. They give you the information to judge delivery risk yourself, which is far more than a brochure will ever tell you. The trade-off is a little effort reading the RERA page against the certainty of buying blind.

What does a MahaRERA project page actually tell me?

It tells you the promised timeline and the progress against it, straight from the regulator. A registered project's page carries the registration number and its validity, the originally proposed completion date, any revised completion date the promoter has filed, and the periodic progress updates the promoter is required to submit. It also hosts documents uploaded during the project, such as architect and engineer certifications of progress and chartered accountant certificates relating to the project account. For an under construction buyer, this is the single most useful public record, because it is the developer's own commitments recorded with a regulator rather than a claim in a glossy advertisement.

The reason this matters is leverage. Once you can see the official completion date and the real progress, you can ask sharper questions and negotiate from facts rather than hope. A seller who says possession is months away has to explain why the RERA page tells a different story.

It also helps to understand who fills this page in. The disclosures are made by the promoter, not by an independent inspector visiting the site every week, so the record reflects what the developer has reported and what the project professionals have certified. That is still valuable, because a false disclosure to the regulator carries consequences a marketing claim does not. But it means you read the RERA page as a serious, accountable account of the project rather than as a guarantee verified by the state, and you confirm the important points with your own eyes on a site visit.

What is a revised completion date, and why should it worry me?

A revised completion date is the new deadline a promoter records when the original one cannot be met. MahaRERA allows a project's completion date to be updated, and it separately flags projects where the completion date has lapsed. A single modest revision is common in a large project and is not automatically a red flag. What deserves attention is the pattern: repeated revisions, a completion date that has already lapsed without a fresh credible date, or a gap of years between the date you were told and the date on record. Each of those is a prompt to slow down and ask what is really happening on site.

Reading the revision history turns a vague worry into a specific question. Instead of asking a sales agent whether the project is on time, you can ask why the completion date on MahaRERA has moved twice, and listen carefully to the answer.

Delays also carry consequences under the RERA framework, which is part of why the recorded dates matter. Where a promoter fails to hand over possession by the agreed date, an allottee generally has remedies, including the choice in appropriate cases to seek a refund with interest or to continue and claim interest for the delay. The precise entitlement depends on your registered agreement and the facts, so this is a matter for your advocate rather than a promise you should assume. The point for now is that the completion date you are reading is not a soft target, it is the reference point against which those remedies are measured.

How often is a promoter supposed to update the project?

Promoters are required to update their project details periodically, on a quarterly and annual basis, under MahaRERA guidance. That obligation is the reason the portal can function as a living record rather than a one time registration. When you look at a project, check whether the updates are actually current. A project that stopped updating several quarters ago is telling you something, even if what it is telling you needs to be confirmed with a site visit and your advocate. Fresh, regular updates are a sign of a promoter engaging with the process, while stale disclosures are a reason for extra caution.

Key things on a MahaRERA page and what they signal

Does a MahaRERA registration mean my flat will be delivered on time?

No, and this is the most important expectation to correct. Registration means the project is enrolled with the regulator and subject to its disclosure and conduct rules. It does not insure you against delay, and it does not promise that the revised date will be met either. What the framework gives you is transparency and a forum, not a guarantee. A buyer who understands this uses the RERA page to assess risk before paying, and relies on the sale agreement, the payment schedule tied to construction stages, and legal advice to protect the money that follows. Treat a clean, current RERA record as a good sign, not as a warranty.

How should I use all this before I book an under construction flat?

Read the RERA page first, then let it shape everything else. Before you pay a booking amount, pull up the project on the MahaRERA portal and compare the completion date on record with the date you were verbally promised. Study the revision history and the freshness of the quarterly updates. Then structure your own exposure so that your payments track real construction progress rather than the calendar, and have your advocate read the registered agreement before you sign. The RERA record is most valuable at the start, when you can still choose whether and on what terms to proceed.

Your MahaRERA under construction checklist

The steps below are buyer guidance, not a substitute for advice from a Maharashtra advocate who has read your specific agreement.

1. Find the project on the official MahaRERA portal using its registration number or name.
2. Note the original proposed completion date and compare it with what the seller told you.
3. Check for a revised completion date and read the full revision history.
4. Confirm whether the completion date has lapsed and whether a credible new date is on record.
5. Check that the quarterly progress updates are current, not stale.
6. Review the uploaded architect, engineer, and CA certificates for reported progress.
7. Tie your payments to construction milestones and have your advocate vet the registered agreement before you sign.

Where can I verify this officially?

Use the official MahaRERA portal. The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority hosts project registrations, progress updates, and completion date records at maharera.maharashtra.gov.in, including its guidance that promoters update project details on a quarterly and annual basis. Because the portal and its formats are updated over time, treat the official site as the current source, and rely on a qualified advocate for the reading of your agreement, rather than on any single online summary, including this one.

A completion date is a promise, and MahaRERA is where that promise is written down and revised in public view. Read it before you pay, compare it honestly with what you were told, and structure your money around progress rather than optimism. That single habit turns a leap of faith into a decision you can actually stand behind.

Frequently asked questions

What is a revised completion date on MahaRERA?

It is the new deadline a promoter records when the original proposed completion date cannot be met. MahaRERA allows the completion date to be updated and separately flags projects where the date has lapsed. One modest revision is common, but repeated revisions or a lapsed date without a credible new one deserve close attention.

How often must a promoter update a project on MahaRERA?

Under MahaRERA guidance, promoters are required to update project details periodically, on a quarterly and annual basis. This is why the portal works as a living record. When you review a project, check that the updates are current, because stale disclosures are a reason for extra caution and a closer site visit.

Where can I check an under construction project's completion date?

On the official MahaRERA portal at maharera.maharashtra.gov.in. Search the project by its registration number or name to see the original and any revised completion date, the quarterly progress updates, and uploaded professional certificates. Compare the recorded date with what the seller told you before booking.
