For any businessman dealing with property and home-buying or selling transactions, Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) registration is mandatory. Despite this, four well-known housing web portals did not register themselves with MahaRERA. MahaRERA secretary Vasant Prabhu told Mumbai Live that these websites should revert to the notices within four weeks.
