FROM FIRST PROJECT TO FINAL HANDOVER

How to become - and operate as - a real estate developer.

There is no single “developer licence” that replaces project-level due diligence, planning permission, finance, MahaRERA and legal compliance. This academy explains the business as a sequence of decisions, documents and approvals.

Choose your model

What type of developer do you want to become?

The route changes depending on whether you control land, enter a JV, win a society redevelopment tender, build villas, sell plots or execute an outstation project.

Development models

Understand how ownership, control, capital and development rights change by project type.

Architect + approvals

Learn what to appoint, which authority to identify and how CC / OC fit into the route.

MahaRERA

Understand project registration assessment, promoter disclosures and ongoing updates.

Legal + stamp duty

Know which instrument you are using before asking for a duty / registration calculation.

Finance + tax

Map project funding, cost, GST/TDS/income-tax questions and CA checkpoints.

CC → construction → OC

Understand the approval / construction / completion chain and final handover obligations.

Developer success starts before acquisition.

Never buy, sign, bid or promise benefits only on a headline FSI number. Run title, authority, buildability, cost, finance, tax and sales feasibility first.
