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

AuthorityJurisdiction
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

  1. NA order not obtained — common in Hinjewadi outskirts and Wagholi
  2. Multiple owners on 7/12 — joint ownership disputes can block sale
  3. Gaothan land — village land within city limits with complex ownership
  4. Builder promises before RERA registration — never pay before RERA is obtained
  5. 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.
