Buyers often search for "delayed possession projects in Pune" when they are paying both rent and EMI, or when a sales office is still discussing a date that has already passed on the register. The public filing provides more clarity than the sales pitch.

Three dates that matter, one that costs you money

According to the completion-date guide, the date on the RERA registration, the date in your agreement, and the date communicated to you verbally are typically different. Usually, only the agreement date creates a solid legal claim. However, the RERA date remains the best public indication that a project is running behind schedule before you make a purchase.

What "overdue" means on this site

A project is marked as overdue when:

the completion date in its latest MahaRERA filing has passed, and
MahaRERA has not listed the project as completed.

This is a factual statement that updates with each rebuild. It differs from "delayed" in the sense of a revised date, as many projects with revised dates eventually finish. Allowing the date to pass without refiling leaves buyers without a new public timeline.

If you find yourself stuck

Verify the project's current MahaRERA filing (accessible from every project page here) for the latest completion date and extension history.
Read the process for filing a complaint with MahaRERA before considering action in a sales office WhatsApp group. The specific form, fee, and orders that the authority can issue are set out clearly.

704 of the 5429 Pune projects listed on this site carry a complaint, 3131 in total, and Godrej Meadows accounts for 98 of them. A project with none is a project nobody has complained about, which is not the same as a project with nothing wrong.

Before making your next purchase

Choose projects that are ready for occupancy if timeline issues have caused you problems in the past. If you opt for an under-construction property, treat the filed completion date as a public commitment to monitor. Also, check the promoter's other projects on their builder page to see how frequently they have revised or exceeded timelines.

This is not legal advice for your agreement. For ongoing disputes, consult a lawyer who specialises in MahaRERA cases in Pune.
