MahaRERA Orders Builder to Execute Conveyance Deed Within 30 Days

MahaRERA has ordered Nirmaan Venture, developer of a project in Kiwale near Pune, to finalise the draft conveyance deed within 30 days and complete its registration in favour of Nirmaan Milestone Co-operative Housing Society within a further 30 days. The order was passed on 15 July 2026 by MahaRERA Member Mahesh Pathak on a complaint filed by the society.

What the society complained about

The society told MahaRERA that the builder had sent only a draft conveyance deed and treated that as sufficient compliance, while never taking the further steps needed to actually execute and register the deed. Conveyance transfers ownership of the land and building from the builder to the society, and until it is registered, the society does not hold clear legal title to its own property.

What MahaRERA held

MahaRERA held that sending a draft deed does not amount to compliance with a builder's conveyance obligation under Section 17 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, which places the responsibility for executing conveyance squarely on the promoter. The Authority directed the builder to hand over all documents necessary for the conveyance and warned that failure to comply within the stipulated timeline would invite action under Section 63 of RERA, which allows for penalties against a defaulting promoter.

What this means for housing societies

• A builder cannot treat sending a draft conveyance deed as fulfilling its legal obligation — the deed must actually be finalised, executed and registered.
• Societies still waiting on conveyance can file a complaint with MahaRERA under Section 17 read with Section 63 of RERA, rather than relying only on deemed conveyance proceedings before the Registrar.
• Keep a written record of all correspondence with the builder about conveyance — MahaRERA's order turned on the builder's failure to move beyond a draft stage.
• Non-compliance with a MahaRERA conveyance order can expose the builder to penal action, giving societies additional leverage in follow-up.

The builder's compliance window runs through mid-September 2026. Societies facing similar stalling on conveyance can raise the issue directly with MahaRERA, citing the promoter's obligations under Section 17 of RERA.
