MahaRERA Order 46C requires all real estate developers to display a dynamic QR code in every advertisement for their RERA-registered project. The QR code must link to the project's official MahaRERA registration page — giving buyers immediate access to verified project information before making any booking or payment.
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| What QR links to | Official MahaRERA project registration page (maharera.maharashtra.gov.in) |
| Placement | Top-right corner of advertisement |
| Size | Minimum scannable size as specified in Order 46C |
| Visibility | High contrast — must not be obscured by other elements |
| All media types | Print, digital, hoardings, brochures, websites, social media, and email |
MahaRERA has issued penalty notices to developers for incorrect QR code placement, inadequate size, and missing QR codes in advertisements. Consequences include monetary penalties, withdrawal of advertisement permission, and escalation to full project compliance audit.
