Can a promoter change sanctioned plans after buyers have booked?

RERA distinguishes minor changes from major modifications. MoHUA’s FAQ explains that major changes to sanctioned plans or project specifications generally require approval from two-thirds of allottees, subject to the Act.

Why this matters

• Helps buyers understand that disclosed plans are not simply informal marketing material.
• Helps professionals explain that major changes can trigger statutory consent requirements.

Minor and major changes are treated differently

MoHUA’s FAQ explains that minor additions or alterations can be handled within the conditions of the Act, while major modifications or alterations require the approval of two-thirds of allottees, excluding apartments held by the promoter for calculating that threshold.

Check the current official project record

If a change is material to your decision, compare the project disclosures, sanctioned information and any authority updates rather than relying only on verbal explanations.

Investor Setu perspective

A major project change should be easy for an affected buyer to identify, understand and trace back to the official record.
