Project Correction & Promoter Profile Updates

How is a correction distinguished from a substantive change?

A correction fixes an inaccurate record; a substantive change alters the underlying project or legal position. Start with a before-and-after schedule showing the current entry, proposed entry, supporting document and reason. A changed address for correspondence is not equivalent to a changed promoter, revised sanctioned plan or altered allottee entitlement. The route depends on substance rather than the portal field selected.

Compare the proposed correction with original registration documents, later filings and buyer agreements. If an error was repeated in several places, identify all affected disclosures. A portal update should not be used to conceal a historical inconsistency or describe a permission as existing before it was granted. The chronology should remain understandable to the Authority and people relying on the public page.

• RERA Act, 2016, Section 4 (application for registration)
• RERA Act, 2016, Section 11 (functions and duties of promoter)

Which changes may require separate consents or permissions?

Plan or specification changes can engage Section 14, while a majority-rights transfer can engage Section 15. Changes to bank arrangements may have a separate approval or procedural requirement under the designated-account directions. Classify those questions before preparing an upload. Technical approval from a planning authority and allottee consent under RERA are different requirements and neither should be presumed to replace the other.

For entity or signatory changes, collect the actual resolutions and constitution documents. For area or inventory corrections, obtain technical reconciliation and assess the effect on existing agreements. If a change affects pending proceedings, the litigation team may need to address the record there as well. A successful update screen is not a legal determination that every related obligation has been met.

• RERA Act, 2016, Section 14 (adherence to sanctioned plans; structural defect liability)
• RERA Act, 2016, Section 15 (obligation on transfer of majority rights)
• MahaRERA Order 56/2024, 27 June 2024: maintenance and operation of project bank accounts

How is the corrected record verified?

Retain the application, explanations, supporting files, approval or response and the published result. Check downloadable documents as well as visible fields because an old annexure can continue to contradict a corrected summary. Record any item the Authority did not permit and any further condition imposed. The promoter should approve the factual accuracy of the final record.

Build the correction into the next compliance cycle so site, finance and sales teams use the same information. Where earlier buyers received inaccurate material, obtain advice on appropriate communication rather than assuming the portal change is sufficient. Timing depends on classification, evidence and the Authority’s process; no immediate correction or retrospective validation is promised.
