Corrected on 7 November 2026. We have now read Order 65A/2026. The old portal closed at 11:59 PM on 10 May 2026, not 11 May. Incomplete applications were closed administratively, with no migration deadline for agents to meet. An earlier version gave a migration procedure, file limits and agent liability that the order does not contain.
If an old guide tells you to file on MahaRERA's legacy portal, it's out of date. Order 65A/2026, dated 8 May 2026, closed that system.
What the Order Says
- The old MahaRERA IT system closed and stopped accepting submissions, resubmissions or processing from 11:59 PM on 10 May 2026.
- All applications go only through the MahaCRITI portal from 11 May 2026.
- Stakeholders were advised to migrate pending matters and familiarise themselves with MahaCRITI.
- Long-pending incomplete applications at the promoter's end on the old portal were ordered removed or closed, solely for administrative purposes.
- That closure isn't a decision on merits and isn't a rejection. Promoters may submit fresh applications on MahaCRITI.
How We Got Here
The order records that MahaCRITI launched on 31 August 2024 with agent lifecycle, complaint and conciliation modules, and that the project lifecycle module followed on 5 May 2025. From then on, new project applications, including corrections, extensions and quarterly reports, went through MahaCRITI, while older ones continued on the old portal. Notices of 15 October 2025 and 2 January 2026 gave promoters extra time. Order 65/2026 of 23 February 2026 had already ordered the closure of incomplete applications.
What It Means Now
- For a promoter with a closed application: it can file afresh on MahaCRITI under the applicable procedure and fees. The order doesn't change the promoter's duty to register before marketing, under Section 3.
- For an agent: the promoter files project applications. Your own registration, renewal and reports are on MahaCRITI. Circular 52/2026 sets ₹5,000 plus taxes for an agent's correction request to a registration certificate.
- For a buyer or agent checking a project: an application that was closed doesn't mean the registration was refused. Equally, a pending application isn't a registration, so check the status on the MahaRERA portal.
Section 10(a) still bars facilitating a sale in an unregistered project, and Section 62 sets the agent's penalty. The earlier statement that agents are liable for negligence if a promoter's application lapses has no basis in the order. Whether a client relationship creates a separate duty depends on your contract.
Fees for Corrections
Circular 52/2026, dated 30 April 2026, sets ₹5,000 plus taxes for a registered agent, ₹10,000 plus taxes for a project correction, and, for a change of promoter, ₹25,000 plus taxes or the actual fees paid at registration, whichever is higher.
