Pune Housing Society Wins Big as MahaRERA Orders Builder to Repair Structural Defects, Deliver Amenities
Pune, 21st May 2026: Stepping in to provide relief to aggrieved homebuyers, the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has ordered the developers of the ‘Shruti Pushp’ residential project in Pune to deliver all pending amenities and rectify structural defects within 60 days.
The final order, passed by MahaRERA Member II Ravindra Deshpande on May 19, 2026, was issued ex-parte against M/s. Prasiddhi Constructions and M/s. Shruti Constructions, who repeatedly failed to appear for the hearings despite being served notices.
The complaint was filed by the Shruti Pushpa B One Co-operative Housing Society Ltd., located in Kiwale, Pune, through Adv. Madhuri Wankhede. Residents alleged that the developers failed to provide fundamental infrastructure and promised amenities, including an underground water tank, a children’s play area, senior citizen seating, a landscaped garden, a decorated stage, and backup power for common areas.
Furthermore, the housing society raised alarms over severe seepage issues affecting the buildings’ walls, ceilings, floors, and the fire water tank. The continuous dampness allegedly caused the rusting of reinforcements, structural deterioration, and unhealthy mold formations. The society also highlighted that the builder had failed to obtain the mandatory Completion Certificate (CC), causing hurdles in securing essential civic services and legally completing the project.
In its ruling, MahaRERA noted that the project’s registration (No. P52100018119) was currently kept in “abeyance” due to ongoing statutory non-compliance. The Authority directed the developers to immediately remove these deficiencies, revive the project’s registration, and obtain the Completion Certificate.
While MahaRERA strictly mandated the 60-day delivery of all sanctioned amenities and the rectification of structural defects under Section 14(3) of the RERA Act, it declined the society’s plea for Rs. 15 lakh in compensation for mental agony, distress, and property damage. The Authority clarified that such monetary claims must be directed to an adjudicating officer in separate proceedings. Additionally, reimbursement for the Rs. 2.5 lakh spent by the society on deemed conveyance proceedings was not granted due to a lack of detailed expenditure proof.
The developers now have a strict two-month window from the date of the order to comply with their statutory obligations and hand over the promised facilities to the residents.
