Why the possession date is not enough on its own
The possession date on MahaRERA is a date the developer files and can change later. Construction progress shows how fast the work is actually going. Look at both.
What the date is
When a developer registers a project, they state a date by which they expect to hand over flats. They can apply to change it, and MahaRERA can also move it for everyone. Property portals and sales teams often quote their own dates, which are not a legal commitment.
Two ways the date can mislead
A short date with slow work: some projects state a date that looks attractive while the structure moves slowly, and the date is then extended. A long date with fast work: some projects state a date with a large buffer while the work moves quickly, so the long date looks worse than the project really is. A short date does not mean early delivery, and a long date does not mean late delivery.
What FlatNama shows instead
How much of the concrete structure is done, how much of the finishing is done, and how those figures changed between MahaRERA updates. These are reported by the developer to MahaRERA and are harder to talk around than a date.
An example from the data
As of July 2026, of 1,057 active projects whose stated date fell within the next 12 months, 243 (23%) had less than half of their concrete structure done.
When MahaRERA moves every date
In August 2026 MahaRERA added 4 months to the completion dates of eligible projects, after the central government treated the West Asia conflict as a force majeure event. It applies automatically to projects whose completion date is 28 February 2026 or later. It is not the developer's own extension. Dates on FlatNama taken before August 2026 do not include it yet.
What to do
Check the date, then check the progress. If the date is near and the structure is far from done, ask the developer how they plan to close the gap.
