MahaRERA quarterly progress reports: the due dates, and how buyers read them

Four dates decide how much you can know about any under-construction project in Maharashtra: 20 July, 20 October, 20 January and 20 April. By each of those days, every registered project must have told the regulator, in public, how much it built, how much it sold and what approvals changed. Buyers who know the calendar can catch a project's health, and its honesty, from their phone.

Why Maharashtra's calendar is worth memorising#

The RERA Act made quarterly disclosure a national principle, but MahaRERA turned it into a hard calendar. Order 18/2021 established the quarterly regime; Order 33/2022 fixed the rhythm at 20 days after each financial quarter, and the regulator organizes all promoter disclosures into seven frequency buckets, of which the quarterly bucket carries the three items buyers care about: incremental approval changes, physical progress, and booking status. The filings are not sent to a drawer; they publish immediately to the project's public page, which is the entire point. Maharashtra chose to make the market read its projects' vital signs in near real time.

The general skill of interpreting progress reports, trendlines, the four sickness patterns, benchmarks, is covered in our QPR reading guide. This article adds the Maharashtra-specific layer: the exact dates, what triggers on a miss, and how the calendar changes buyer behaviour.

The year, from a buyer's chair#

An analogy: the pulse, taken on schedule#

A hospital does not judge a patient by one reading; it charts vitals at fixed intervals, and the chart's rhythm matters as much as any value. A missed reading is itself an event: someone did not show up to take it. MahaRERA built exactly this chart for 50,000 projects, and the enforcement sweep of May 2026, Section 7 show-cause notices to 8,212 projects that missed the 20 April deadline, is the hospital noticing whose vitals went untaken. As a buyer you get the chart free; all the discipline you need is to read four entries instead of one.

The three checks the calendar enables#

1. The freshness check. Open the project's page and read the newest QPR's date before its contents. Within 20 days of the last quarter: compliant. One quarter stale: ask why. Two or more: walk, whatever the reason offered, because the promoter is either not filing (a compliance breach displayed publicly) or has nothing to file, and both answers are yours to act on. This is step six of the full portal check.

2. The rhythm check. Filing dates across the last four quarters tell you the promoter's governance habit. Twenty days late once alongside 8,000 others is weather; a pattern of misses is climate.

3. The series check. With the dates verified, read the numbers as a series: construction percentage and bookings, quarter over quarter, cross-checked where you can against the Form 1, 2 and 3 certificates that back each withdrawal. Priya and Arjun (illustrative, as ever) shortlisted two Baner projects this way: one showed 37, 45, 52, 61 percent construction across four on-time filings; the other showed 40, 42, 43 percent with the fourth filing missing. The first got their visit; the second got a polite no to three follow-up calls from its sales team, each of which mentioned a discount and none of which mentioned the missing filing.

After booking: the calendar keeps working#

The QPR rhythm is most valuable after your money is in. A booked buyer reading each filing within days catches the flatline that precedes extensions and stalls, quarters before builder letters arrive, and a documented filing history strengthens every remedy from delay interest to complaints. The portal only shows the current filing, though: old quarters get overwritten, which is why ReraGenie archives every MahaRERA filing it covers. The Rs 499 buyer report assembles the full series with locality benchmarks, and alerts at Rs 499 per 3 months deliver each new filing, and each miss, the week it happens. If you are waiting on a Maharashtra possession right now, sign up on ReraGenie and put the calendar on autopilot.

The one-line summary#

Four dates, three disclosures, published immediately: MahaRERA's QPR calendar means every Maharashtra project takes its own pulse in public by the 20th of July, October, January and April. Check the date, check the rhythm, read the series, and let silence count as the loudest filing of all.
