Ambernath Buyers Get Relief as Tribunal Orders Demolition of Undisclosed Wing
Ambernath, Maharashtra | September 9, 2026: Homebuyers at the Parshvadhara housing project in Ambernath have won a major relief after the Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (MREAT) ordered the demolition of an additional Wing E that was added without their informed consent. The tribunal also ordered restoration of the project's original open spaces and imposed a ₹10 lakh penalty on the promoters.
Why Was the Extra Wing Ordered to Be Demolished?
The project was originally approved in 2015 with four wings — A, B, C and D. The promoters later obtained a revised plan in July 2021 introducing Wing E, but the tribunal found that buyers had not given informed consent for the additional construction.
MREAT held that simply obtaining a revised planning approval does not replace the consent requirements under RERA and MOFA when the additional construction was not properly disclosed to purchasers.
Original Garden and Open Spaces Must Return
The tribunal directed the promoters to restore the garden, playground, children's playground, recreation ground and other open spaces according to the original 2015 plan.
It also directed the promoters to reconstruct the meter room, parking and society office in accordance with the original plan.
₹10 Lakh Penalty and 90-Day Deadline
The promoters have been ordered to pay a ₹10 lakh penalty under RERA. They must also execute and register the conveyance deed for the 3,870 sq m project land, including common areas and open spaces, within 90 days.
The tribunal has also directed them to pursue the authorities for 30 water connections and obtain the completion certificate in accordance with the original sanctioned plan.
What This Means for Maharashtra Homebuyers
The ruling gives buyers an important protection: a builder cannot necessarily add new construction simply because a later revised plan has been approved.
For buyers, the case highlights why the original sanctioned plan, brochure and agreement for sale matter. If a major change affects promised amenities, open spaces or the project's overall layout, buyers should check whether proper disclosure and consent requirements have been followed.
Why Developers Should Take Note
MREAT rejected the promoters' reliance on broad clauses allowing future FSI or TDR utilisation. The tribunal found that such blanket clauses did not amount to informed consent because buyers were not given specific details of the proposed additional wing and development potential.
For Maharashtra's housing market, the ruling reinforces that project approvals and buyer disclosures must go together, particularly when later construction changes the project originally sold to homebuyers.
