What is the syllabus of the MahaRERA Agent Exam?

The syllabus includes the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016, MahaRERA Rules 2017, agent duties and registration under Sections 9 and 10, promoter obligations (escrow accounts, disclosures, structural defect liability), allottee rights, sales practices and code of conduct, and practical calculations such as RERA carpet area and delayed possession interest.

Who conducts the MahaRERA Agent Exam?

MahaRERA is the responsible authority. Its current Agent Exam Registration page links to TCS iON. The published training guidelines describe IBPS; confirm assessment arrangements from the current cycle instructions.

What is the fee to register for the MahaRERA Agent Exam?

Published guidelines cap examination registration at ₹1,500 excluding GST and training at ₹5,000 excluding GST; these are caps, not confirmation of the current payable fee. Agent registration is a separate charge. Use the current official registration link to verify fees.

What happens if an agent operates without registration under MahaRERA?

Section 62 of the RERA Act addresses an agent’s failure to comply with Sections 9 or 10, including facilitating a promoter’s sale in a planning-area project legally required to register but not registered. The penalty is ₹10,000 for each day of default, cumulatively up to 5% of the cost of the plot, apartment or building whose sale or purchase was facilitated, as determined by the Authority. A project legally exempt from registration is not made registration-required merely because an agent is involved.

What is the 70% rule under RERA?

Under section4(2)(l)(D), 70% of amounts realized from allottees must go into a separate account in a scheduled bank for the project’s land and construction costs. Withdrawals are proportionate to completion and require engineer, architect and practising chartered accountant certificates. This separate account should not be confused with a lender’s loan escrow account.

Through all these exams, one thing became clear: exam prep is expensive. But with AI, we can change that. Quality preparation can now be free for everyone.
