MahaRERA Complaint Status: How to Check Online in Maharashtra (2026)

How-To Guide · MahaRERA

Updated for 2026 · Claw Editorial

To check a MahaRERA complaint status, open the official MahaRERA portal, search by complaint number or party name, and read the stage, next hearing and any order. You can check a project or agent registration the same way. Claw also tracks MahaRERA and MREAT matters by party name and sends alerts when anything changes.

01Why MahaRERA status is hard to follow

Maharashtra has more RERA activity than any other state, so a MahaRERA matter is easy to lose track of. A home buyer waits for a hearing date. An advocate handles dozens of complaints against several promoters. A lender wants to know if a project is even registered. In each case the question is simple, but the answer sits in more than one place.

One portal, several records

MahaRERA keeps a complaint record, a project registration record and an agent registration record. They are linked by project and promoter, but they are searched separately. Many people search the wrong one and decide that nothing exists.

Names are written many ways

Promoters appear as a private limited company, a LLP, a partnership or a short trade name. A search for one spelling can miss another. Complainants also appear with different spellings of the same name.

The matter does not stop at MahaRERA

If a party is unhappy with an order, the appeal goes to the appellate tribunal, and then higher courts. Each step has its own record, and nothing tells you automatically that a new hearing has been listed.

02Complaint, registration and order: three different searches

A complaint search, a registration search and an order search answer three different questions. Knowing which one you need saves most of the confusion.

• Complaint search: shows a complaint filed with MahaRERA, its number, parties, stage and hearing dates. Use it when you want to know what is happening in a dispute.
• Registration search: shows whether a project, promoter or real estate agent is registered under RERA, with a registration number. Use it before you buy, lend or advise.
• Order search: shows orders and judgments passed by the Authority. Use it when you need the actual direction, for example a refund or interest order, or when you plan an appeal.

A complaint tells you what is being argued. A registration tells you whether the project is legal to sell. An order tells you what was decided.

For the general method that applies to every state, see our guide on how to check RERA case status in India.

03Steps to check a MahaRERA complaint status

You need either your complaint number or the names of the parties and the project. The steps below follow the usual flow on the official portal.

1. Open the official portal. Go to the MahaRERA website. Type the address yourself or use a trusted bookmark. Avoid sponsored links and agent pages.
2. Go to the complaint section. Look for the complaint or grievance menu. If you filed online, log in with the credentials you created at the time of filing.
3. Search by complaint number. Enter the number exactly as printed on your acknowledgement. This is the most reliable search.
4. Or search by party and project. If you do not have the number, use the complainant name, the respondent promoter name or the project name. Try more than one spelling.
5. Read the result. Note the stage, the next hearing date and whether an order has been uploaded. Save a copy or a screenshot with the date.
6. Open the order if one exists. Read the operative part first. It shows the direction and any time limit for compliance or appeal.

Keep your acknowledgement and complaint number safe. Without them, a party search can return many similar matters, and it is easy to read the wrong one.

04Steps to check a project or agent registration

A registration check takes less than a minute and should come before any payment or loan decision.

1. Open the registered projects or registered agents search on the official portal.
2. Search by project name, promoter name or registration number. The registration number is the safest search, and it should also appear on every advertisement for a registered project.
3. Match the details. Check the promoter name, location, completion date and the project status against what the seller told you.
4. Check for lapse or revocation. A project may show an extended date, a lapsed registration or a complaint history. Treat any mismatch as a reason to ask questions.
5. For an agent, confirm the agent registration number and that the registration is current.

If you cannot find a project, do not assume it is fake. Try a shorter name and the promoter name. If it still does not appear, ask the seller for the registration number in writing.

05Orders and the appeal to MREAT

An order of the Authority can be challenged before the Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, usually called MREAT. It is a separate forum with its own cases, hearings and orders.

What changes at the appeal stage

• The appeal has its own number and its own cause list.
• The parties are the same, but they are described as appellant and respondent, so a name search must account for the switch.
• A time limit applies to filing an appeal, and in some cases a part of the amount ordered must be deposited. Read the RERA Act and the order itself, or ask an advocate.

The practical point is simple. A status check on the MahaRERA portal will not tell you what is happening in the appeal. Track the two records separately, or use a tool that follows both for you.

If you work on property disputes across forums, you may also find our guide on a district court case tracking software useful, since civil suits on the same project often run in parallel.

06Methods compared

There are four common ways to follow a MahaRERA matter. Each suits a different need.

For a single complaint, the official portal is enough. For a portfolio of matters, a manual search every week becomes slow and easy to miss.

07Common problems and how to fix them

The complaint does not appear

Recent filings can take time to show. Check the number for typing errors, try the party and project name, and confirm the complaint was actually submitted and not left as a draft.

The status looks stale

Portals are not always updated the same day. Compare the last hearing date with today. If it is long past and no new date is shown, check the latest order and the cause list.

A promoter has many projects

Search by registration number for each project instead of by promoter name. This avoids mixing up projects with similar names.

The same dispute is in more than one forum

A buyer may also have a consumer case. For that route, see our guide on moving from the old Confonet system to the E-Jagriti consumer portal. Keep both numbers in one place so that neither date is missed.

08Where Claw fits

Claw is an all-in-one legaltech platform for Indian advocates, law firms, and corporate legal teams, combining AI-based case search, an AI legal assistant (Legal GPT), case management, and compliance automation across all Indian courts and tribunals.

For MahaRERA work, the useful part of Claw is case tracking. You add a matter by party name, and Claw follows it across forums, including MahaRERA and the appellate tribunal, among 9,102 forums tracked. Updates arrive on WhatsApp and email, with a calendar and cause list so that a new hearing date does not depend on someone remembering to log in. Case search across judgments is a separate Claw product, with results in under 5 seconds, and it covers the Supreme Court and 25 High Courts, not tribunals.

If your work is a registry of property or IP matters, the same workflow idea applies. See how one registry workflow works for litigation matters for an example of how one list of matters can be tracked in a single place.
