Yes, and this is an increasingly common and successfully litigated grievance among Mumbai flat buyers, particularly in large residential projects where builders heavily market amenities like swimming pools, clubhouses, gardens, and gyms during the sales process, only to later scale back, delay indefinitely, or entirely abandon these promised facilities. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, promised amenities form part of the builder's binding obligations under the agreement for sale, and failure to deliver them as represented constitutes a clear deficiency that MahaRERA has consistent authority to address.

Section 14 of RERA requires promoters to develop the project according to the sanctioned plans and specifications disclosed to buyers, and amenities specifically advertised and included in the agreement for sale or the project's disclosed layout form part of this binding commitment, not merely optional marketing embellishments that the builder can abandon at will. Where amenities were prominently featured in brochures, advertisements, and the agreement for sale, but subsequently not constructed, are constructed at a significantly reduced scale, or remain non-functional despite the project being marketed as complete, buyers have clear grounds to seek relief.

To pursue a claim for missing amenities, the affected buyer, ideally alongside other similarly situated buyers in the same project, should file a complaint before MahaRERA, presenting the promotional materials, the agreement for sale terms specifically referencing the amenities, and clear evidence — photographs, site visit reports, or a court-appointed commissioner's inspection — demonstrating the actual gap between what was promised and what was delivered. MahaRERA can direct the builder to actually construct the promised amenities within a specified timeframe, or where construction is genuinely not feasible, award appropriate monetary compensation reflecting the reduction in value and quality of life buyers experience without these facilities.

Where the shortfall in amenities is common across an entire project rather than affecting just one buyer, pursuing this as a joint or association-led complaint, similar to joint complaints for other project-wide grievances, often proves more effective than individual claims, since it demonstrates the systemic nature of the builder's failure and typically results in a more comprehensive remedy benefiting the entire buyer community rather than piecemeal individual settlements.

Given how these claims benefit significantly from thorough documentation comparing promised versus delivered amenities, and often from coordinated buyer action, careful case preparation makes a meaningful difference to outcomes.
