Pune Collector Sets April-End Deadline for All 186 Pending MahaRERA Recovery Warrants Worth Rs 146.5 Crore
Pune District Collector has directed the revenue machinery to execute all 186 pending MahaRERA recovery warrant orders involving Rs 146.5 crore by April-end, saying homebuyers must receive their hard-earned money without further delay following a review meeting with tehsildars from all talukas. According to district administration data, these 186 pending warrants are part of a broader pool of 304 warrants totalling Rs 248.77 crore with the highest pendency reported in Haveli, Pune city and PCMC areas while significant amounts also remain stuck in Khed, Maval, Lonikand and Uruli Kanchan talukas. The administration successfully executed 118 cases worth Rs 102.17 crore between April 2025 and January 2026 but 59 new cases worth Rs 53.28 crore were added during the same period keeping the backlog stubbornly high. Officials have been instructed to take coercive measures including attachment and public auction of defaulting developers' properties to meet the deadline and the district's recovery data will be uploaded to the collectorate website for public transparency.
The execution of MahaRERA warrants has faced persistent criticism for being slow despite MahaRERA issuing the orders and calculating refunds and interest for delayed or stalled projects, the legal power to enforce lies with district revenue administration under land revenue laws. Last year MahaRERA chairman urged collectors to prioritise high-value projects to recover at least 50 percent of pending dues and the authority has appointed a retired senior revenue official to coordinate with districts. However experts argue more is needed saying merely appointing retired bureaucrats is insufficient and that these officials must be granted statutory powers via gazette notification enabling them to legally requisition police assistance to enforce orders on the ground. For Pune's thousands of homebuyers who invested life savings in projects that got delayed or stalled, the April-end deadline and the threat of property attachments represent the most concrete enforcement action they have seen in years and the real test will be whether the revenue machinery follows through with actual coercive action rather than another round of notices and promises.
