MahaRERA Directs Nirman Milestone Builder In Kiwale To Execute Conveyance Deed Within 60 Days
Pimpri-Chinchwad, July 18, 2026: The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has directed a builder to complete the execution and registration of a conveyance deed in favour of a housing society within 60 days, holding that merely sending a draft conveyance deed does not fulfil a developer’s statutory obligation.
The order was passed by MahaRERA Member Mahesh Pathak on July 15, 2026, while hearing a complaint filed by Nirman Milestone Co-operative Housing Society in Kiwale through its advocate Ajit Borade against developer Nirman Venture.
Under the order, the builder has been directed to finalise the draft conveyance deed in consultation with the society within 30 days and complete the registration of the conveyance deed in the society’s name within the following 30 days. The developer has also been instructed to hand over all documents required for the conveyance process.
The dispute arose after the society objected to the draft conveyance deed submitted by the builder, alleging that the land area mentioned in the document was smaller than the area approved in the sanctioned building plans and project registration records.
MahaRERA ruled that the conveyance deed must reflect the area specified in the approved plans and project registration and directed the builder to transfer all common areas, common access roads and the society’s undivided rights over them.
In its order, the authority observed that Section 17 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act makes it the promoter’s legal responsibility to execute the conveyance deed in favour of the housing society. It clarified that forwarding only a draft conveyance deed cannot be treated as compliance with this statutory obligation.
MahaRERA further held that any dispute between the builder and the landowner cannot be cited as a reason to delay or avoid transferring ownership rights to the society.
The authority warned that failure to comply with the order could invite action against the builder under Section 63 of the RERA Act.
Advocate Ajit Borade, representing the complainant society, welcomed the ruling, saying it reinforces that the execution of a conveyance deed is a mandatory legal responsibility of the developer.
“This order makes it clear that a builder cannot escape the obligation of executing a conveyance deed by merely forwarding a draft or citing disputes with the landowner. It is a significant decision protecting the property rights of housing societies and will serve as an important precedent for similar cases across Maharashtra,” Borade said.
