On 5 May 2026, the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) published an enforcement notice listing 8,212 registered projects that had failed to file their mandatory Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs). The scale of this disclosure — roughly 40% of all active MahaRERA registrations — is the largest single compliance sweep the authority has conducted since RERA came into force in 2017.
If you have booked an under-construction flat in Maharashtra, or are researching one, this article explains exactly what QPRs are, why their absence is a buyer's red flag, how to check your project's QPR status independently, and what to do if you find that your builder is on the list.
What is a RERA Quarterly Progress Report?
Under Section 11(1) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016, every registered promoter must file progress reports with the state RERA authority at least once every quarter. The QPR must disclose:
- Current stage of construction (substructure, superstructure, finishes, MEP)
- Percentage of construction completed to date
- Number of units sold vs. total registered units
- Funds received from buyers and funds utilised
- Updated possession date if the original date is at risk
The QPR is the only legally mandated, regular window into a project's actual progress — not the builder's brochure, not the sales executive's WhatsApp update. When a builder misses QPR filing, they are either unwilling to disclose accurate progress or, more commonly, do not have progress to report.
Why Missing QPRs Should Concern Buyers
A missing QPR is not a technical paperwork issue. It is a red flag that correlates strongly with possession delay. Research across completed RERA enforcement cycles shows that projects with three or more consecutive missed QPRs have, in the majority of cases, gone on to miss their committed possession date by more than 12 months.
When MahaRERA issues a notice for missed QPRs, the builder has a specified cure period to file and update. If they fail to comply, MahaRERA can:
- Impose a penalty of up to 5% of the registered project cost
- Restrict the builder from registering new projects
- Refer the matter to the adjudicating officer for investigation
More practically for buyers: if your project is on the MahaRERA notice list and possession is 12 months or less away, the probability of on-time delivery is materially lower than the builder's assurances suggest.
How to Check Your Project's QPR Status on MahaRERA
You do not need a lawyer or a consultant to check QPR compliance. Here is the step-by-step process:
- Go to mahare.maharashtra.gov.in and click "Registered Projects" in the top navigation.
- Search by your project's RERA registration number (format: P51700XXXXXX) or by project name.
- On the project detail page, click the "Quarterly Reports" tab.
- Count how many quarters have passed since the project registration date.
- Count how many QPRs are actually filed — one entry per quarter.
- If the number of filed QPRs is fewer than the number of elapsed quarters, your project has missed filings.
Each filed QPR will show the percentage of construction completed as declared by the builder. Cross-reference this with your site visit observations. A declared 80% completion with a possession date three months away is plausible. A declared 40% completion with a possession date three months away, and two missed QPRs in the past year, is a serious delay signal.
Red Flags in QPR Data
Even when QPRs are filed, the data itself can reveal possession delay risk. Here is the framework Brickplot uses to interpret QPR progress numbers:
- High delay risk: Construction completion below 30% with less than 6 months to possession date. This is structurally impossible to resolve without significant acceleration or a date extension.
- Moderate delay risk: Completion below 60% with less than 9 months to possession. Possible but only with exceptional execution velocity — uncommon in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
- Low delay risk: Completion above 75% with 6+ months to possession, and QPRs filed consistently every quarter without gaps.
- Stalled signal: The same completion percentage reported across two consecutive QPRs — a builder reporting "65% complete" in Q1 and "65% complete" in Q2 is signalling zero on-site activity. Cross-check with a site visit.
QPR data on the MahaRERA portal is self-declared by the builder. It is not independently verified by MahaRERA unless a complaint triggers an inspection. Treat the numbers as directional, not certified.
What to Do If Your Project Is on the Notice List
If you find that your under-construction project is among the 8,212 flagged by MahaRERA in the May 2026 notice sweep, here are your options:
- Verify the notice status: Check the MahaRERA enforcement orders section to confirm the notice is still active. Some builders cure quickly once issued.
- File a complaint under Section 31: Any allottee can file a complaint with MahaRERA if the builder has missed QPRs for two or more consecutive quarters. The filing fee is Rs 5,000. Brickplot's possession delay complaint guide for Maharashtra covers the step-by-step process — see possession-delay-claim.
- Request a site inspection: Under RERA, you have the right to inspect your under-construction unit on reasonable notice. Do not rely solely on portal data — visit the site and document what you see.
- Evaluate Section 18 withdrawal: If the project is more than 12 months past its committed possession date with no credible revised date, you have a statutory right under Section 18 RERA to withdraw and claim a full refund with interest at SBI MCLR + 2%.
Brickplot Tracks QPR Compliance for 200+ Maharashtra Projects
Brickplot pulls QPR data from the official MahaRERA portal as part of its weekly RERA compliance sweep. We track construction completion percentages, flag projects with consecutive missed filings, and surface possession delay risk in the project score under Axis 8 (Construction and Delivery Risk).
If you are researching a Mumbai or Pune under-construction project, check whether your project has a Brickplot page — we surface the QPR-derived construction completion percentage, the last filed date, and any gaps in the compliance record. Our score is formula-driven: no builder input, no sponsored placements, no commission.
You can also use our scoring methodology to understand how QPR compliance — and its absence — feeds into the overall project verdict. Or if you are already facing a possession delay situation, our Section 18 claim guide for Maharashtra explains the exact filing process, fees, and what to expect at the MahaRERA tribunal.
