MahaRERA Orders Developer Of Godrej 24 Project In Pune To Fix Seepage Issues In 30 Days Or Face Penalty

The Maharashtra real estate regulator has told the developer of Godrej 24, a housing project in Pune, to permanently fix seepage and structural defects in a flat within 30 days and at its own cost. The direction came from the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) in an order passed on January 2, 2026. Member Mahesh Pathak was dealing with four separate complaints filed by homebuyers against Pearlite Real Properties Private Limited, the promoter of the project at Hinjavadi. Of the four complaints, MahaRERA gave relief in only one. That complaint was about persistent seepage inside a flat. The homebuyer had taken possession of the flat in August 2022. Soon after, the living room began to suffer from serious seepage. The developer carried out repairs from time to time, including repainting. But the problem kept coming back. MahaRERA noted that the repairs were only superficial and did not address the real cause of the seepage. “The repeated recurrence of seepage shows that the root cause has not been effectively addressed by the respondent,” the Authority said. The regulator has now directed the promoter to permanently fix the seepage and structural defects within 30 days. If the developer fails to do so, MahaRERA has warned that penal action will be taken. The other complaints did not succeed. In one of them, homebuyers asked MahaRERA to direct the developer to provide independent covered car parking, as mentioned in the agreement for sale. They alleged that tensile parking was forcefully allotted, was illegal, and did not match sanctioned plans or building norms. The developer countered this by producing records showing that a Rs 2 lakh credit note was issued when the parking was changed from stacked to tensile. MahaRERA noted that the complainant took possession of the flat in August 2022 and the tensile parking in September 2022. Raising the issue more than two years later, the Authority said, appeared to be an afterthought. The claim was rejected. Another complaint sought a refund with interest, claiming that a school promised as part of the project was never built and that excess amounts were charged for common areas. MahaRERA rejected this as well. It noted that the complaint was filed nearly five years after the project received its occupancy certificate. The Authority also said that a school is a common amenity and an individual homebuyer cannot seek such group-level reliefs on their own. With this, MahaRERA dismissed three of the four complaints and allowed only the one relating to seepage and structural defects.Case Title: Pranveer Singh Sengar v.
