The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority has announced the 9th phase examination for real estate agents on Monday, May 4, 2026. Hall tickets will be issued five days prior to the exam — meaning they will be available from April 29, 2026 onwards.
This timeline gives candidates a narrow but sufficient window to collect their hall ticket, verify exam centre details, and make final logistical arrangements. The hall ticket is your primary document for entry into the exam centre; without it, you will not be permitted to sit for the examination.
Mark April 29, 2026 in your calendar today. Check the official MahaRERA portal on that date without delay. Unnecessary delays in those final days only add stress.
Log in to the official MahaRERA portal at maharera.mahaonline.gov.in using your registration credentials. Navigate to the exam section and look for the "Download Hall Ticket" option. You will need your application number and date of birth to proceed.
Download the hall ticket as a PDF and print at least two copies — one for the exam hall and one as a backup. Check all details carefully: your name, application number, exam date, time, centre name and address. Any discrepancy must be reported to MahaRERA immediately through the official helpline (1800-258-1800) or the portal's grievance section.
If your hall ticket is not available by May 1, 2026, contact MahaRERA support without waiting. Act quickly — a delayed hall ticket is no reason to miss the exam if you report it in time.
The MahaRERA agent competency examination is conducted by IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection). Here is the exact format you need to know:
The exam tests your knowledge across 7 topics: the RERA Act 2016, MahaRERA Rules, agent registration and obligations, promoter duties, allottee rights, property due diligence, and sales and taxation. For a complete breakdown of section-wise weightage, review the full MahaRERA exam pattern guide.
The exam tests application, not just memory. Focus on sections that appear most frequently in practice questions:
Section 3 — Registration requirements. Know the two exemption conditions: land area not exceeding 500 sq.m. AND apartments not exceeding 8. Both must be met simultaneously for a project to be exempt.
Section 9 and 10 — Agent registration and obligations. Section 9 governs how agents register. Section 10 lists what agents must and must not do — including the prohibition on facilitating transactions in unregistered projects. This directly governs your conduct in the field.
Section 13 — Advance payment cap. A promoter cannot accept more than 10% of the total consideration before executing a registered agreement for sale. Agents must know this to protect buyers they represent.
Section 18 — Interest on delayed possession. If a promoter fails to deliver possession on time, the allottee can either withdraw and claim a full refund with interest, or stay and receive monthly delay interest. The rate is SBI's highest MCLR + 2% per annum — not a fixed percentage.
Sections 59 to 65 — Penalties. For agents specifically: Section 62 applies when an agent violates Section 9 or 10 — a penalty of ₹10,000 per day, cumulatively up to 5% of the cost of the property involved. Section 65 applies when an agent fails to comply with a RERA Authority order.
With the exam on May 4, focused preparation should begin by April 7. Here is a week-by-week approach:
Week 1 (April 7–13): Cover foundational concepts — the structure of the RERA Act, the role and registration of agents under Sections 9 and 10, and MahaRERA's authority and jurisdiction. Read the official RERA text alongside summaries.
Week 2 (April 14–20): Focus on high-weightage sections — Section 11 (promoter obligations), Section 13 (advance payment), Section 18 (delay interest), and the 70% designated account rule under Section 4(2)(l)(D). These topics account for a significant portion of exam questions.
Week 3 (April 21–27): Shift to practice. Use topic-wise practice tests to drill the sections where you scored below 75%. Build speed — at 40 minutes for 50 questions, you have 48 seconds per question on average.
Week 4 (April 28–May 3): Full mock exams only. Take full 50-question timed mock tests under real exam conditions — no breaks, no references. Review every wrong answer the same day. Stop new learning by May 2 and rest the day before the exam.
The exam includes scenario-based calculation questions. Three calculations come up most often:
Delay interest: If an allottee paid ₹50 lakhs and the promoter is 12 months late at MCLR+2% = 10% p.a., the monthly interest owed is ₹50,00,000 × 10% ÷ 12 = ₹41,667 per month. Use the RERA delay interest calculator to practise these scenarios.
Carpet area loading: If a flat is 1,000 sq.ft. super built-up area and 700 sq.ft. carpet area, the loading percentage is (1,000 − 700) ÷ 700 × 100 = 42.86%. Under RERA, all transactions must be priced on carpet area. Use the loading percentage calculator to build comfort with these numbers.
Advance payment cap: On a flat priced at ₹80 lakhs, the maximum advance before a registered agreement for sale is 10% = ₹8 lakhs. Anything above this is a Section 13 violation.
Arrive at your exam centre at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Carry your printed hall ticket and a valid government-issued photo ID — both are mandatory. Electronic devices including mobile phones and smartwatches are not permitted inside the exam hall.
Read each question fully before selecting your answer. Many marks are lost by misreading what is being asked. If a question asks about an agent's obligations and you recall a promoter's duty, you will get it wrong even if you know the law correctly.
Since there is no negative marking, attempt every question. If you are uncertain, eliminate the obviously wrong options first and choose the most legally precise answer. Never leave a question blank — a guess gives you a chance; a blank guarantees zero.
Results are typically declared within 10 to 15 days of the exam via the MahaRERA portal and email. The passing score is 40 out of 100 (40%). If you pass, your MahaRERA agent registration certificate will be issued — valid for 5 years from the date of issue.
Keep your certificate safe and track your renewal date. A registration that lapses means you cannot legally facilitate any transaction until it is renewed. Use the agent registration renewal calculator to set your renewal deadline well in advance.
If you do not pass, you can reapply in the next examination phase. You have a maximum of 3 attempts before re-training is mandatory. Use the time between phases to identify weak sections through topic-wise practice and return better prepared.
