The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) was reported to have reached out to the suburban collectors of Mumbai and Pune, requesting the appointment of retired tehsildars to expedite the execution of recovery warrant orders in their respective regions.
Reports indicated that in Mumbai鈥檚 suburban area, around Rs 2.28 billion remained to be recovered from 355 complaints related to 73 projects, while in Pune district, the pending amount was approximately Rs 1.50 billion, arising from 201 complaints across 89 projects.
MahaRERA was said to issue recovery orders against real estate developers when they defaulted on delivering possession of properties to homebuyers. The responsibility for executing these recovery warrants reportedly rested with the district collectors of the concerned areas.
MahaRERA Chairman Manoj Saunik explained that the initiative aimed to ensure aggrieved homebuyers received the compensation ordered in their favour. He noted that, previously, a senior revenue department officer had been appointed to accelerate this process. However, he was quoted as saying, "We are now planning to appoint retired tehsildars on a pilot basis for Mumbai and Pune, where recovery cases and arrears are higher. Depending on the need, similar appointments will be made in other districts."
It was further mentioned that while collectors would handle these appointments, the payment would be borne by MahaRERA. Official data reportedly revealed that approximately ?2 billion had already been recovered as compensation for homebuyers. A Pune district official was said to have remarked that district officials were often occupied with election duties, and the additional appointments could help resolve pending cases.
Meanwhile, a complainant from Mumbai expressed frustration over the lack of progress in executing recovery warrants, adding that the proposed appointments might provide relief across the state.
