How to Verify Your Runwal Realty Project: A Buyer’s Guide to MahaRERA, Official Channels & Authentic Resources

The best way to find out who developed any residential project in Maharashtra, what its legal approvals are, and when it plans to deliver possession is to check its registration on the MahaRERA portal at maharera.maharashtra.gov.in. This portal is public, free to access, and contains the legally required disclosures for every registered project in the state.

For buyers interested in a Runwal Realty project, this guide explains how to use MahaRERA to verify registration, see the status of commencement and occupancy certificates, and confirm that the project is associated with the developer you want to buy from.

What is MahaRERA?

MahaRERA, the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority, is the official body set up under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, to oversee the real estate sector in Maharashtra. It started operating in 2017 and maintains a public digital portal at maharera.maharashtra.gov.in.

Under RERA, every residential and commercial project larger than 500 square meters or with more than eight apartments must register with MahaRERA before the developer can advertise, market, or sell any unit. Registration is mandatory. A project without a valid MahaRERA registration number cannot be legally sold to buyers in Maharashtra.

MahaRERA’s portal lets anyone access a developer’s registered name, project approvals, construction timelines, financial disclosures, number of units sold, and uploaded legal documents, including commencement and occupancy certificates, without logging in or paying.

Project Details on the MahaRERA Portal

Once you find a project on the MahaRERA portal, the ‘View Details’ page displays a set of disclosures that the developer must maintain and update. Key information includes:

• Promoter/developer name and registered address, confirming who is legally responsible for the project.
• Project location, total land area, type of development, and number of proposed buildings and units.
• Sanctioned plan details and the dates of the relevant approvals.
• Proposed completion date, which is the legally agreed possession timeline.
• Financial details, including the escrow account, where developers must deposit 70% of funds collected from buyers.
• The number of units booked and sold, updated periodically.
• Uploaded documents, including the commencement certificate and, once issued, the occupancy certificate.

This information is the official source. If what a broker, agent, or advertisement tells you contradicts the MahaRERA portal, trust the portal.

How to Check If a Project Is RERA Approved

Checking a project’s RERA registration is a simple three-step process:

Step 1: Visit the Official Portal

Go to maharera.maharashtra.gov.in. This is the only official MahaRERA website. Avoid relying on third-party aggregators or broker sites for registration verification.

Step 2: Search for the Project

On the homepage, select ‘Registered Projects’ under the Search for MahaRERA Information section. You can search by project name, promoter name, or directly by the RERA registration number if you have it. Enter the project name and click Search.

Step 3: Confirm the Promoter Name

In the search results, make sure the promoter or developer name matches the one you think you are dealing with. Two projects can have similar names but be run by different developers. Always check the promoter’s name on MahaRERA against the name of the company whose sales office or website you visited.

MahaRERA registration numbers for residential projects in Maharashtra have district-specific prefixes. RERA number search results from Mumbai City projects start with P51900. Mumbai Suburban projects, including Andheri, Mulund, Malad, and Bandra, begin with P51800. Thane district projects start with P51700. Always ask for the registration number before signing any booking form or paying a booking amount.

Commencement, Completion and Occupancy Certificates on MahaRERA

Commencement Certificate (CC)

The relevant municipal authority issues a commencement certificate that gives the developer legal permission to start construction. According to MahaRERA rules, the commencement certificate is a necessary document that the promoter must upload when registering the project. If a project does not have a valid CC uploaded on its MahaRERA page, this is a major red flag.

Occupancy Certificate (OC)

The municipal authority issues an Occupancy Certificate after the completion of construction. It confirms that the building has been constructed according to the sanctioned plan, all safety requirements are met, and it is suitable for habitation. An OC is necessary before residents can legally move into a building. Under RERA, the developer must obtain and provide the OC to buyers.

To check OC status on MahaRERA: enter the project’s RERA registration number, click View Details, and scroll to the Uploaded Documents section. If the occupancy certificate has been issued, it will be listed there and available for download. If it is not listed, the building has not yet received the OC from the relevant municipal authority.

Never accept possession of a flat in a building without an OC. Two practical consequences follow from this. Home loan lenders usually require an OC before they finalize the loan on a completed property. Also, not having an occupancy certificate can cause problems when selling the property later on.

Runwal Realty’s RERA-Registered Projects

All Runwal Realty projects are registered with MahaRERA as the law requires. The table below shows the MahaRERA registration numbers for some ongoing residential projects. Buyers can enter these numbers directly on the MahaRERA portal to see the full project disclosure page.

For the complete list of all Runwal Realty ongoing and completed projects and their respective MahaRERA numbers, search for the promoter at maharera.maharashtra.gov.in.

How to Verify a Runwal Realty Project on MahaRERA

Check the Promoter Name on MahaRERA

Search for the project on maharera.maharashtra.gov.in and open its details page. The promoter’s name on MahaRERA indicates the legal entity responsible for the project. A project is a Runwal Realty project when the promoter name on its MahaRERA page matches the promoter name shown on that project’s page at runwalrealty.com. If the names are different, the project belongs to another developer.

Visit Only the Official Website

The only official website for Runwal Realty is runwalrealty.com. Project-specific microsites are also maintained under the runwalrealty.com domain. If you are on a different domain, cross-check the information against the official site and the MahaRERA portal before trusting any claims.

Contact Runwal Realty Directly

For any sales or project inquiry, reach out to Runwal Realty directly at 022-62328585 or use the Contact Us section on runwalrealty.com. Avoid relying on unsolicited calls, WhatsApp messages, or third-party broker portals as your main source of project information.

Confirm by Positive Identification

The best way to confirm that a project is developed by Runwal Realty is through a two-step process: (1) search for the project on maharera.maharashtra.gov.in and take note of the promoter name listed; and (2) check the same project on runwalrealty.com and ensure the promoter name matches. This match, not a brand name, not a brochure, and not a sales representative’s claim, is your confirmation.
