MOFA Amendment Faces Legal Challenge Over Presidential Approval Concerns

An amendment to the MOFA Act, 2025, has reportedly come into effect after receiving the governor's assent, despite concerns from consumer groups like Mumbai Grahak Panchayat (MGP). Experts suggest the amendment, particularly Section 1A, may be legally challenged as ultra vires because it impacts RERA, a Central Act, and was allegedly not referred to the President for approval as required by Article 254 of the Constitution. This amendment could potentially allow promoters facing prosecution for offenses against homebuyers to avoid penalties.
