In the state, the highest number of recovery warrant orders has been executed in Mumbai suburban areas followed by Pune, said MahaRERA officials.“Last year, the authority had appointed a retired additional collector to help speed up recovery warrant orders issued by MahaRERA. This has helped in speeding up recovery warrant orders,” an official saidThe highest number of warrants was issued in suburban Mumbai district. A total of 434 warrants have been issued for 114 projects to recover Rs 298 crore. So far, Rs 71.06 crore has been recovered from 40 projects through 75 warrants. Pune is the second highest with 239 warrants issued to recover Rs181.49 crore from 123 projects.

Arun Seth (80), a resident of Mumbai, said that MahaRERA had issued a recovery warrant order in 2019 in connection with a flat he had booked, but it is yet to be executed. “While MahaRERA has been claiming to have cleared several complaints, my order is yet to be executed. I am yet to hear from the collector’s office,” he said.We also published the following articles recently
