Every marketed claim set against the documented fact, sourced. Critical and high first.
HIGH
No commencement certificate exists for the plans now in force
MarketedThe marketing prints the MahaRERA number and nothing about the approval position.
DocumentedThe only commencement certificate in the file is granted 'for work up to Plinth level including basement as marked A to L in the plan at page C/659 dated 25/07/2024'. The sanctioned sheets approved on 27 February 2025 carry a stamp reading 'This cancels Approval to the Previous Plans sanctioned under no. GS/MHADA/0012/19960222/AP/C Dated 25/07/2024'.
The building's only construction permission is tied to a set of plans that the authority itself cancelled four months later, and no permission has been issued against the plans now in force.

HIGH
The commencement certificate's own one-year validity ran out in October 2025 with no renewal on file
DocumentedCondition 3: 'The Commencement Certificate / Development permission shall remain valid for one year from the date of its issue. However the construction work should be commenced within three months from the date of issue.' Condition 5 makes it renewable annually, with the extended period 'in no case to exceed three years'. The certificate issued on 22 October 2024. The only confirmation of currency in the file is the SRA's e-mail of 4 March 2025 saying the certificate 'is in force as on date'. No revalidation appears anywhere in the folder.
On the face of the certificate its validity expired on 22 October 2025, and nothing in the file renews it.

Nothing above plinth exists sixteen months after the sanction, on 11.7 per cent of the budget
Marketed[SEC] Third-party listings show possession 'Jan 2030'.
DocumentedArchitect's Form 1 at 31 March 2026: excavation 100%, basement 100%, plinth 100%, stilt floor 0%, 'Podiums-10 Nos' 0%, 'Slabs of Super Structure-20 Nos' 0%, and every remaining line including all thirteen common-area items at 0%. Engineer's Form 2 at the same date: Rs.24,71,00,000 incurred of a Rs.2,10,63,00,000 estimate - 11.73% - with Rs.1,85,92,00,000 to go. Finance disclosure of 07/07/2025: 'NA' against lender, date of borrowing, sanctioned amount, disbursed amount, outstanding amount and mortgage.
Twenty months after the commencement certificate and sixteen after the sanction, the site is at plinth, 11.7 per cent of the budget is spent, and there is no construction lender.

Forty-five per cent of the price falls due on a calendar date, not a construction event
DocumentedRegistered Annexure K: 10% on booking (Rs.1,03,00,000); 35% 'to be paid within or before 60 days after execution and registration of the Agreement' (Rs.3,60,50,000); 10% on completion of plinth (Rs.1,03,00,000); then 7.5% each on the 10th, 20th and 30th slab including podiums, on walls and windows, on sanitary and lobbies, and at possession. The model agreement uploaded to MahaRERA sets the same milestone 2 at 20%, plinth at 15%, and leaves the slab count blank on a single 25% instalment. Form 1 at 31/03/2026: plinth 100%, 'Podiums-10 Nos' 0%, 'Slabs of Super Structure-20 Nos' 0%.
The single largest instalment, thirty-five per cent, is tied to a date sixty days after signing rather than to anything being built - and the registered schedule is more front-loaded than the model the regulator holds.

A thirty-four-acre redevelopment sits 178 metres away and spans 163 degrees of the south arc
Marketed[MKT] The campaign's view disclaimer is explicit that future development in the vicinity may alter the views and is not warranted - which is more than most.
DocumentedThe estate's traced footprint subtends bearings 95 to 243 degrees from this plot, with its nearest corner about 154 m away, and the registry carries it at an assumed 200 m envelope. The view engine booked it on the south-east arc only, because it discards any object whose centre bearing lies more than 25 degrees off an arc centre; its centre lies 54 degrees off east, 36 off south and 81 off south-west.
The single largest thing near this building is a thirty-four-acre estate redevelopment beginning about 154 metres away, and its footprint wraps from east through south to south-west. On the Rexray-verified coordinate the nearest corner measures 178 metres rather than 154, and the footprint now subtends 163 degrees of the south arc rather than being clipped by the engine's oblique filter. Rexray field confirms the scheme is live.

The agreement contradicts itself on the carpet area the price is calculated on
DocumentedAnnexure A states, for the same apartment: 'RERA Carpet Area - 2608 square feet equivalent to 242.29 square meters' and, on a separate line, 'Exclusive area being deck/balcony (if any) - 349 square feet equivalent to 32.44 square meters'. Annexure I to the same agreement, the sanctioned typical floor plan, prints on that same apartment 'RERA C.A. = 274.73 SQ.MT.'. 242.29 + 32.44 = 274.73 exactly. The promoter's MahaRERA sold and unsold disclosure reports the same apartment at 274.73 sq m.
One registered instrument gives two different RERA carpet areas for the same home, and the difference is precisely the deck.

HIGH
The marketed sea aspect is borrowed from a slum scheme directly in front of it
MarketedThe campaign's hero image is a bedroom looking across open water at the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, captioned 'A view that rewrites mornings'.
DocumentedThe land between this tower and the water is a low-rise settlement, Janta Colony, which Rexray field identifies as a slum-rehabilitation scheme in its own right. It is not part of this project: this project's own title report records that Janta Colony residents who are not members of this society were held ineligible for THIS scheme and ordered on 5 April 2023 to vacate within ten days, that their High Court writ was dismissed on 8 March 2024 on a filing technicality rather than on the merits, and that their appeal to the Apex Grievance Redressal Committee of 11 April 2023 has no recorded outcome anywhere in the file.
On every aspect this building is priced on - both north decks and the west apartment's second deck - the raycast returns ZERO per cent blocked. Nothing built today obstructs any of them, from any floor, because ten parking levels lift the lowest apartment to 33.8 metres and everything mapped within seven hundred metres is below that. That reading is correct, and it is also entirely dependent on one settlement staying low. The regime comparable is not borrowed from another road - it is this building: the same Regulation 33(10), on a 3,969.82 square metre plot, on this frontage, produced a 110.000 metre free-sale wing and a 58.300 metre rehabilitation wing. Run the front row at the rehabilitation wing's own height and both priced arcs drop from band 7 to band 6 - it clears above the 18th floor here. Run it at this building's own sale-wing height, or anything above, and both drop to band 4: about 41 per cent of the north arc and about 66 per cent of the west, AT EVERY FLOOR, with no floor left to rise above it. The agreement's own view disclaimer is unusually candid and should be credited: the promoters expressly do not warrant the continuance of any view or guarantee the impact of future redevelopment. That candour is also, read the other way, the developer declining to carry a risk it can see. One search note, and it is a negative result rather than a gap in the work: the scheme in front could not be found on the Slum Rehabilitation Authority's public site, which publishes no scheme-by-locality register that can be queried, and it returns nothing on the open web. Its identity rests on Rexray field intelligence, corroborated by this project's own litigation record. Its ENVELOPE is unsourced and is carried as a scenario, never as a wall.

The regulator's page records nil rehabilitation units in a building the sanction fills with 239
Marketed[MKT] The campaign does not mention the rehabilitation wing at all.
DocumentedThe MahaRERA page reports 'Total No. of Rehab Units: 0'. The sanctioned Rehab Tenement Statement counts 239 - 207 residential, 25 commercial, 6 residence-cum-commercial, 1 existing balwadi - plus 7 amenity units. The Revised Letter of Intent counts 183 rehabilitation tenements (157 residential, 22 commercial, 4 residence-cum-commercial) and 56 project-affected tenements (50 residential, 3 commercial, 2 residence-cum-commercial, 1 balwadi), which sums to exactly 239.
The one public page a buyer is told to check says this composite building contains no rehabilitation units; the sanctioned plan and the Letter of Intent both count 239.

The land vests in the municipal corporation and the improvement trust, and the development agreement is unregistered
DocumentedProperty register card, C.S. 5: owner 'The Municipal Corporation for the City of Bombay', lessee 'Adarsh Nagar Co. Op. Housing Society Limited'. Property register card, C.S. 15: owner 'The Trustees for the improvement of the City of Bombay'. The Development Agreement of 18/02/2022, the Irrevocable Power of Attorney of 18/02/2022 and the Amended Development Agreement of 09/01/2025 are each recorded by the solicitors as UNREGISTERED. Commencement Certificate condition 4: 'This permission does not entitle you to develop land which does not vest in you.'
The developer builds on government land under a development agreement and a power of attorney that were never registered, and the plot has no property card of its own.

A shop on the plot is still trading, its occupier is suing, and an order to vacate has not been enforced
DocumentedS.C. Suit 105554 of 2024, Rajendraprasad Laxminarayan Rapelli v. the promoter, the Society and the SRA. The plaintiff is the son of a person on the Annexure-II eligible list and ran a general store from commercial Gala No. 100 on this plot 'without any obstructions till May, 2024'. From June 2024 the promoter and the Society demanded he hand over possession and take rent. His injunction was dismissed on 24 July 2024; the promoter's motion to reject the plaint is pending. The SRA issued an order on 17 December 2024 under sections 33 and 38 of the Slum Act directing him to vacate within 30 days. The suit was still live at the date of the title report.
Part of this plot is still in someone else's occupation, a vacate order from December 2024 has not resolved it, and the suit is running.

An approval condition orders a specific open-space warning into the sale agreement; the registered agreement does not carry it
DocumentedLetter of Intent condition 10 requires a registered undertaking from the developer and the 'incorporation of clause in the agreement of prospective buyers stating there in that, the building is planned with deficient open space and the buyers shall not complain in SRA for the same at any point of time, as well as the developer shall indemnify the SRA and its staff from any probable disputes in future.' The word 'deficient' does not appear once in the 78-page model agreement uploaded to MahaRERA, AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR ONCE IN THE REGISTERED AGREEMENT EITHER - not in the operative clauses, not in the buyer's undertaking, not in the three side letters. Condition 11, which requires a comparable clause about not misusing refuge area, IS carried in both - twice in the registered instrument, at clause 5 and in the undertaking with a Rs.50,000 penalty attached.
The authority ordered the developer to tell buyers in the agreement that the building is planned with deficient open space. Neither the model it uploaded nor the agreement it actually registered says anything of the kind.

The buyer cannot resell without the promoter's permission, and silence counts as refusal
DocumentedClause 5.5 bars transfer until possession is taken, requires the promoter's prior written consent, and charges transfer fees of 2 per cent of the total resale consideration. Clause 5.6 gives the promoter a right of first refusal on any onward sale. Clause 5.6(c): 'in the event the Promoter, under the Rejection Notice, does not permit the Purchaser/s to sell the Apartment for any reason whatsoever, the Purchaser/s shall not be entitled to sell... to any third person'; and 'in the event the Promoter does not issue a Rejection Notice within 15 (fifteen) calendar days..., the same shall be construed as deemed rejection... and in such an event, the Purchaser/s shall not be entitled to sell... to any third person.'
Under the registered agreement, the promoter can block a resale for any reason at all - and if it simply does not reply within fifteen days, that also blocks the sale.

Two hundred and thirty-nine rehabilitation households and twenty-nine homes share one acre and one building
Marketed[MKT] Six full-page lifestyle images, a Sea Link view, 'A view that rewrites mornings'. No mention of a slum rehabilitation scheme, a rehabilitation wing, a shop line or a shared garden.
DocumentedOne composite building of 3,969.82 sq m plot area comprising a Slum Wing and the Free Sale Wing. 239 rehabilitation and project-affected tenements plus 7 amenity units in the Slum Wing; 29 sale homes in the Free Sale Wing. Clause 11.1: 'the RG garden and area of the Project Common Areas shall be utilized by all residents/ allottees/ purchasers/ occupants in the said Building i.e. the Slum Wing and the Free Sale Wing.' Clause 11.4: 'There shall be a common sewage treatment plant for the Free Sale Wing and the Slum Wing', with charges payable 'irrespective of the case whether the treated water is used or not'. Clause 11.2: 'The residents/ occupants in the Slum Wing shall not be entitled to use the Common Amenities.'
This is one building on one acre with 8.2 rehabilitation households for every sale home, a 25-shop frontage at its base, and a shared ground-floor garden - and the marketing says none of it.

A thirty-year-old scheme that has already consumed two developers
DocumentedScheme approved by the SRA on 22 February 1996. A Letter of Intent issued in 1996 to M. Innovative Construction Private Limited, which 'failed to undertake any redevelopment till the year 2006' and was cancelled. Omkar Realtors and Developers Private Limited was appointed around 2007 and 'failed to undertake redevelopment and make any satisfactory progress for around 13 (thirteen) years'; the SRA cancelled it by order of 8 December 2020. The current promoter's designated partners disclose exactly two other RERA-registered projects, both in Palghar district: one completed in Nallasopara in November 2023 and one due in Vasai in December 2026. The Rexray builder registry independently records the Omkar entities as a financially distressed counterparty.
This society has been waiting since 1996 and has lost two developers; the current one has never delivered a high-rise, a South Mumbai project or a slum scheme.

Both registered developer sales price below the state's own valuation of the same homes
Marketed[SEC] Third-party aggregators carry an asking band of Rs.33 to 40 crore for three to four thousand square feet.
DocumentedConsideration Rs.10,30,00,000. Market value for stamp duty Rs.11,24,70,956. Stamp duty paid Rs.67,80,000, on the higher figure. The ready reckoner for value zone 17-Mahim puts residential at Rs.3,14,960 per sq m, loaded 115 per cent for the 21st-to-30th floor band to Rs.3,62,204, applied to 302.29 sq m of built-up area, plus 37.85 sq m of enclosed parking at a quarter of the residential rate.
The March-2025 agreement registers Rs.10.30 crore against a ready-reckoner valuation of Rs.11,24,70,956 - 8.4 per cent below - and the stamp duty was paid on the state's higher figure. A second developer sale registered on 9 February 2026, a twenty-fourth-floor home for Rs.15.00 crore against 3,910 square feet, still comes in about 2.3 per cent below the same rate per square foot. A registered price under the reckoner is not an ordinary market outcome: the reckoner is the floor for duty and a sale below it carries tax consequences for both sides, so the developer is accepting a cost to register that number. One such sale is an anomaly. Two, eleven months apart, is a pattern, and Rexray reads it as a cash component moving outside the instrument. The quantum is not documented and cannot be - it is a question for the buyer, and it is the one number that can unwind the apparent discount entirely.

The agreement the regulator publishes is not the agreement being registered
DocumentedPayment schedule: the model puts 20% at the post-registration milestone, 15% on plinth and a single 25% instalment 'on completion of _______ slabs including podiums' with the number blank. The registered instrument puts 35% at the post-registration milestone, 10% on plinth, and three 7.5% steps at the 10th, 20th and 30th slab. Clause set: the model runs to clause 11 and then the schedules. The registered agreement runs to clause 23, adding among others clause 16.2 (buyer bears any later stamp duty and penalty, with indemnity and costs), clause 17.2 (if the promoter elects the MahaRERA conciliation forum, the buyer pre-consents and the decision binds the buyer) and clause 18.1 (nothing in any advertisement, leaflet, brochure or marketing collateral forms part of the agreement or induced the purchaser).
The model on the regulator's website understates what a buyer signs - a smaller front-loaded instalment and eleven fewer clauses, including the one that disclaims the marketing.

The buyer pre-consents to floor-count, layout and future-index changes, and to reading the occupation certificate as proof of compliance
DocumentedRecital I reserves floor area (FSI) including 'expectation of increased floor area (FSI) which may be available in future on modification to DCR', on the footing that 'the entire floor area (FSI) shall belong to Promoter only'. Recital J provides that if a purchaser withdraws that consent 'the amount of Consideration shall automatically stand enhanced'. Clause 2.4 permits changes including 'change in the number of the apartments/premises to be constructed or dimensions or height, elevation... without intimating the Purchaser/s'. Clause 5.2 permits the promoter 'to increase or decrease the number of floor(s) in the said Building'. Clause 2.5 permits ancillary structures 'on any portion of the said Property' without further consent. Undertaking paragraph xxxiii: the issue of the occupation certificate 'shall mean and shall be construed that the Promoter has carried out the development... in conformity with the sanctioned plans... and I/We shall not raise any dispute(s), claim(s) and/or demand(s)'. Paragraph xxxvi requires the society to maintain the promoter's advertising and branding. THREE CLAUSES APPEAR ONLY IN THE REGISTERED INSTRUMENT AND NOT IN THE MODEL. Clause 18.1: no particulars or information 'contained or given in any advertisement, leaflet or brochure or any other marketing collateral' shall be deemed to form part of the agreement or to have induced the purchaser to enter it. Clause 17.2: if the PROMOTER elects to refer a dispute to the MahaRERA conciliation forum, the purchaser pre-consents and 'the decision of the Conciliation Forum shall be binding upon the Purchaser/s'. Clause 16.2: any additional stamp duty demanded later, with penalty, is the buyer's alone, together with an indemnity and the promoter's legal costs.
The registered agreement collects a full set of advance consents, disclaims its own marketing, lets the developer pick a binding dispute forum, and turns the occupation certificate into a waiver of any complaint about how the building was built.

The charge search that came back clean was run on the wrong address
DocumentedThe CERSAI report prints its own search criteria: Survey Number '5pt 15pt', Street Name 'MCGM ROAD', Pocket 'MAHIM', Locality 'MAHIM BAY', City 'MAHIM', Pin 400030. Result: no match found. The Letter of Intent, every Intimation of Approval and the commencement certificate all describe the plot as 'C.S. No. 5 (Pt.) & 15 (Pt) Division WORLI, Adarsh Nagar, Worli, Mumbai-400030' on 'V.B. Worlikar Road'.
The encumbrance search returned nil, but it was keyed on Mahim descriptors and a road name the approvals never use.

The car park comes as a right to use, with no private charging right and no bay identified
DocumentedRecital M and clause 3.1 allot 'the covered car parking space(s) (on a right to use basis)'. Clause 3.4: 'Save and except the car park/s allotted (on a right to use basis)..., the Promoter will be entitled to decide, in its sole discretion, the allotment of and how the Promoter may deal with, all other parking spaces'; and 'The Promoter may be required to provide electric charging points... in some parking spaces as may be required/ permitted by the competent authority. The Purchaser/s shall be liable to bear additional charges for the same'. Annexure A leaves level, number and dimensions blank. The model allotment letter's menu of possible bays reads 'basement / podium / stilt / mechanical car parking unit'.
Bays are licensed rather than deeded, the level and number are decided later at the developer's discretion, and there is no right to a charger at your own bay.

One of the three car bays is 2.30 metres wide, and none of them has a level or a number

The podium level is left blank on the face of the registered instrument. Annexure J is a generic '2nd to 5th podium plan' with no bay marked.
Three covered bays come with the home, which is generous - but one is 2.30 metres wide by 4.50 long, and the agreement never says which level any of them is on.

The rehabilitation wing, not the sale wing, is what this address presents to the street
MarketedSix pages of lifestyle photography with no elevation, no site plan and no mention of a second wing.
DocumentedThe nineteen-storey rehabilitation wing occupies the EAST and SOUTH of the plot and fronts V.B. Worlikar Road, with twenty-five shops at its base. The twenty-nine-home sale wing sits behind it.
The two wings are properly segregated inside - separate lobbies, separate lifts, and the eighteenth-floor club and pool reserved to buyers - and intra-plot density is already scored under IPD. This is the other half of the same fact and it is not a density point: the building a visitor sees from the road, and the frontage a buyer drives past every day, is the rehabilitation block and its shop line. At a price of Rs.10 to 15 crore that is a real gap between what the home is and what the address reads as, and no page of the marketing mentions it.

East bedroom windows below the 18th floor look at the scheme's own rehabilitation wing
Marketed[MKT] A bedroom looking at open water and the Sea Link.
DocumentedThe rehabilitation wing occupies sub-plot D of 1,129.00 sq m immediately east and north-east of the sale wing, and its Section A-A terrace is at 58.300 m. The sale wing's first home is at 33.800 m and its residential floor-to-floor is about 3.90 m. 11 + ceil((58.3 - 33.8) / 3.90) = 18.
The nineteen-storey rehabilitation wing on this scheme's own plot stands about thirty-three metres away and tops out at 58.300 metres. Converted to this building's own numbering - lowest home at 33.800 metres, floor-to-floor 3.90 - it clears above the 18th floor, so the 11th to the 17th look at it and everything above does not. DOWNGRADED IN PHASE 2, and the reason is a design decision worth crediting. The rehabilitation wing occupies the EAST and the SOUTH, and those are exactly the two elevations the sanctioned plate gives no deck: the east edge carries a 0.35 metre chajja over windows and no balcony, and the south edge is kitchens, dry yards, the lift core, both staircases, the firemen's evacuation lift and the smoke-check lobby. The west edge, which does carry two balconies, faces away from it entirely. So the rehabilitation mass faces no living room and no deck anywhere in this building. What remains is a floor-choice point for a buyer in the east apartment - secondary bedroom windows on the lower band look across at it - not a view finding, because nothing this building is priced on faces that way.

Ten parking levels lift the lowest home to 33.8 metres, and every near neighbour disappears below it
Marketed[MKT] 'A view that rewrites mornings', over a Sea Link horizon.
DocumentedBasement, ground, ten podium parking levels of 9,350.34 sq m free of floor area (FSI), and a service floor sit below the first apartment. Section A-A puts the 11th floor - the lowest home - at 33.800 m, the 18th amenity and refuge level at 62.900 m, the 25th upper refuge at 90.500 m and the terrace at 110.000 m. Every object the accumulated store holds within 700 m of this plot tops out below 33.800 m: two 27 m front rows, a 27 m southern abutter and a 24 m rehabilitation block.
The lowest apartment here starts about as high as the roof of an eleven-storey building, which removes the usual low-floor view discount rather than merely softening it.
