The introduction of a grading system for real estate projects by Maharashtra RERA marks a significant step toward empowering homebuyers. By considering multiple factors and providing transparent information, this system enables buyers to make more informed decisions. The grading system, automatically generated through MahaRERA’s IT solution MahaCRITI, evaluates various factors. These include a project overview, technical snapshot, financial details, and legal snapshot. The system considers the promoters’ compliance track record, legal litigations, project finance quality, amenities, the status of statutory approvals, booking percentage, financial and legal encumbrances, and audit certification, among other criteria focused on enhancing consumer protection and transparency within the real estate sector.
