MahaRERA Agent: Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorize the agent penalties under Section 62: ₹10,000 per day during default, up to 5% of the property cost facilitated.

2Understand the RERA Carpet Area definition: includes usable area and internal partition walls, but excludes external walls, balconies, terraces, and shafts.

3Learn the section4 separate-account requirement: 70% of amounts realized from allottees in a scheduled-bank account for the project’s land and construction costs.

4Learn section14(3): qualifying structural, workmanship, quality or service defects notified within five years of possession must be rectified without charge within 30 days.

5Distinguish section14 unit-consent rules from the two-thirds consent rule for other building/common-area alterations. Section15 promoter transfers also require prior written Authority approval.

6Review Maharashtra land records terminology: understand the purpose of the 7/12 extract (Satbara) for agricultural lands and the Property Card for urban areas.
