MHADA new G.R. for redevelopment 2026 The Maharashtra government Co-operation Department issued a new Government Resolution (GR) on September 30, 2026 tightening the redevelopment and developer-selection process for cooperative housing societies.
Key Changes in the 2026 Rules

Virtual Participation: Permits member participation via video conferencing for key meetings to drive higher attendance.
• Registrar Oversight: Expands the role and powers of the cooperative registrar, though it has sparked debates regarding society autonomy.
