⚡ Quick Answer
The easiest way to track an under-construction flat in Maharashtra is to combine three sources: the MahaRERA project page (where the developer uploads progress updates), the demand letters you receive for each construction stage, and the developer’s own updates and site visits. Keep a simple record so you can spot delays early.
- MahaRERA requires registered projects to upload periodic progress updates.
- In a construction-linked plan, each demand letter should match a completed stage.
- Ask the developer for regular photo or video updates and scheduled site visits.
- Compare progress with the proposed completion date on the MahaRERA record.
Booking an under-construction home is the start of a journey that can last a few years. During that time, it is natural to wonder: is the building on schedule? Is my payment linked to real progress?
The good news is that you do not need an engineering background to keep track. This guide shows simple, reliable ways to follow construction progress, what to do with demand letters, and how to raise questions politely if something looks off. If you are still deciding, compare under-construction vs ready-to-move flats first.

Why Tracking Progress Matters
- Payments - in a construction-linked plan, you pay as the building rises. Progress should match demands.
- Home loan - banks often release disbursements based on stage completion.
- Planning - your rent, move or interiors depend on a realistic possession date.
- Peace of mind - regular information keeps worry and rumours away.
Source 1: The MahaRERA Project Page
Every registered project has a page on the MahaRERA website. Developers must upload periodic progress updates covering things like the number of floors completed, status of common areas and the bookings made. Our guide on how to verify a project on MahaRERA shows how to find the page.
- Search by the MahaRERA registration number to find the right project.
- Open the progress or project status section and note the latest update date.
- Compare floors completed with what you see at the site and in developer updates.
- Note the proposed completion date and any extension recorded.
Source 2: Demand Letters and Your Payment Plan
When a construction milestone is reached, the developer sends a demand letter asking for the payment linked to that stage. Each letter is a progress signal in itself.
| Check | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Stage named | The letter should name the milestone, such as a particular slab or stage of work. |
| Matches schedule | The stage and amount should match the payment schedule in your agreement for sale. |
| Architect certificate | Many developers attach or can share a certificate confirming the stage is complete. |
| Bank account | Payment details should match the account named in the agreement. |
If something does not match, ask the developer in writing before paying.
If you have a home loan, your bank may release funds directly against these stages. Read about pre-EMI vs full EMI to understand how interest works during construction.
Source 3: Developer Updates and Site Visits
- Ask how often the developer shares construction updates – by email, app or newsletter.
- Request recent photos or videos of your tower if you live far away.
- Join scheduled customer site visits when offered; for safety, avoid walking onto an active site on your own.
- Keep notes with dates, so you can compare progress over time.
For NRI buyers, a trusted family member or a power of attorney holder can attend visits and collect documents on your behalf.
Keep a Simple Progress Tracker
A one-page spreadsheet or notebook is enough. Each time you get new information, add one line.
| Date | Source | What it says | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| e.g. update date | MahaRERA progress update | Floors completed, common areas status | Compare with last update |
| e.g. letter date | Demand letter | Stage reached, amount due | Check schedule, pay on time |
| e.g. visit date | Site visit / photos | What you saw | Note any questions |
A sample layout - adapt it to your own records.
If You Think the Project Is Delayed
- Ask first - write to the developer’s customer care and ask for the current status and revised timeline.
- Check the record - see if MahaRERA shows an extension of the completion date.
- Read your agreement - it sets out the possession date and what happens if it is delayed.
- Know your options - RERA gives buyers rights in case of delay; a property lawyer can advise on your case.
Our legal due diligence checklist and guide to key clauses in the agreement for sale explain these terms in plain language.
As Possession Approaches
In the last stage, watch for finishing work, lifts, common areas and the Occupancy Certificate. Our possession handover checklist and the explainer on OC vs completion certificate help you prepare.
Good Questions to Ask the Developer
- Which construction stage has my tower reached, and what is the next milestone?
- Is the project on track for the completion date shown on MahaRERA?
- How often will I receive progress updates, and in what format?
- When will the common amenities, lifts and parking be ready compared with the flats?
- Who is my single point of contact for questions about payments and documents?
Keep the answers in writing – an email reply is enough. Over time, these replies together with the MahaRERA updates give you a clear and reliable picture of how your future home is shaping up.
