With less than 10 percent of MahaRERA recovery procedures being implemented, many flat buyers continue to suffer. The authority of recovery procedures is given to the Collector's office, but due to delay in recovery process, thousands of recovery orders by MahaRERA are still pending.

Chartered accountant Ramesh Prabhu, founder chairman of MahaSEWA, said, "As per statistical data, since MahaRERA came into existence three years ago, a total of 12,452 complaints have been registered with it (of these 11,703 complaints were against MahaRERA registered projects and 749 complaints were against unregistered projects). In all, MahaRERA has passed 8,565 orders (7,895 orders in case of registered projects and 670 in case of unregistered projects) after giving due hearing to all parties concerned. Nearly 65 percent of the total 8,565 orders directing the developer to pay interest for delayed possession or recovery directives under section 40 of MahaRERA, need to be implemented by the Collector's office."
