Pune: India's Most Registered Market
Pune has the highest number of RERA-registered projects in India. MahaRERA is the most active regulator. This works in buyers' favour — but verification is still essential.
Step 1: MahaRERA Verification
Same process as Mumbai. Check maharera.maharashtra.gov.in. Pune projects are heavily regulated — most have complete quarterly updates.
Use our RERA Verification Tool for guided verification.
Step 2: 7/12 Extract and Property Card
7/12 Extract (Saat-Baara Utara) is the key land ownership document in Maharashtra.
- Available online at mahabhulekh.maharashtra.gov.in
- Contains: owner name, survey number, land type, area, crop pattern
- Verify the seller's name matches the 7/12 extract owner
- Check for any loans/liens recorded
Property Card — for urban areas within municipal limits. Available from City Survey Office.
Step 3: NA Order (Non-Agricultural)
Many Pune outskirts properties require agricultural-to-residential conversion.
- Verify NA order from the District Collector
- Ensure NA order covers the specific survey number
- Check if NA is final order (not interim)
- Confirm NA is for residential use (not industrial/commercial)
Step 4: PMC/PCMC/PMRDA Approval
| Authority | Jurisdiction |
|---|---|
| PMC (Pune Municipal Corporation) | Core Pune |
| PCMC (Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corp) | Pimpri-Chinchwad area |
| PMRDA (Pune Metro Region Dev Authority) | Outer Pune region |
Verify building permission, commencement certificate, and occupation certificate from the relevant authority.
Red Flags to Watch For
- NA order not obtained — common in Hinjewadi outskirts and Wagholi
- Multiple owners on 7/12 — joint ownership disputes can block sale
- Gaothan land — village land within city limits with complex ownership
- Builder promises before RERA registration — never pay before RERA is obtained
- Layout not approved by PMRDA — illegal layout common in peripheral areas
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check 7/12 extract online in Pune?
Visit mahabhulekh.maharashtra.gov.in. Select district (Pune), taluka, and village. Enter survey number. The 7/12 extract shows ownership, area, and any recorded encumbrances.
Is PMRDA approval different from PMC?
Yes. PMRDA covers the wider Pune metropolitan region outside PMC/PCMC limits. Different building regulations apply. Verify which authority governs your property location.
