MahaRERA has become the first quasi-judicial authority in the country to delegate its powers recently to its secretary, with the aim of assisting litigants, and to clear thousands of pending non-compliance of orders by developers/builders in the state.

However, this recent order has raised doubts in the minds of a few professionals practising in RERA, who claim the secretary is an administrative officer, and non-compliance matters can be heard only by RERA members. Experts, however, say MahaRERA is very much in its ambit to delegate powers in the larger interest of litigants, and is within the frame of the RERA Act.
