In a significant move to expedite the enforcement of MahaRERA (Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority) orders, the Maharashtra state government has appointed 12 dedicated recovery officers. This decision aims to address the delays in executing recovery warrants issued against defaulting developers, providing much-needed relief to aggrieved homebuyers across the state.

These officers, appointed under the district collectors in six key districts, will operate under the provisions of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, to accelerate the compensation process. This initiative comes in response to the growing backlog of recovery cases and is expected to enhance the efficiency of the enforcement process.

The recovery officers’ appointment is part of a broader strategy to address the Rs 912 crore owed by developers to homebuyers, as reported by MahaRERA. This move underscores the state’s commitment to safeguarding the interests of homebuyers and ensuring that developers adhere to regulatory mandates.
