SRA Approval Process in Mumbai: The Ultimate 2026 Guide for Developers & Builders

Mumbai is a city of extreme contrasts—luxury towers rising alongside dense slum settlements. With over 40% of Mumbai’s population living in slum areas, redevelopment through the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) has become one of the most powerful engines of urban transformation. However, while SRA projects offer high FSI incentives and strong commercial upside, they are also among the most complex real estate approvals in India. This is where experienced SRA liaisoning consultants in Mumbai play a critical role. With over 18+ years of hands-on experience, Jiyani Consultancy LLP has successfully navigated this regulatory maze for leading developers such as Hiranandani, Ruparel Realty, and other reputed builders—delivering approvals, compliance clarity, and project optimization at scale. This comprehensive guide explains: The entire SRA approval process in Mumbai Key rules, documentation & timelines Common developer mistakes How expert SRA consultants reduce risk & delays Why experience matters more than ever in 2025

What Is the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA)?

 

The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) was constituted by the Government of Maharashtra to:

  • Rehabilitate eligible slum dwellers

  • Free valuable urban land for planned development

  • Encourage private-sector participation through incentives

Under the SRA scheme:

  • Slum dwellers receive free permanent housing

  • Developers receive sale component FSI as compensation

  • The city benefits from organized urban redevelopment

However, SRA projects are governed by:

  • DCPR 2034

  • GRs issued by the Housing Department

  • Circulars and policy updates from SRA & MCGM

This makes professional SRA consultancy not optional—but essential.

Why the SRA Approval Process Is So Complex in Mumbai

Unlike conventional redevelopment, SRA projects involve:
  • Multiple government authorities
  • Sensitive rehabilitation obligations
  • Political, social & community dynamics
  • Frequent regulatory amendments

Even a minor procedural lapse can result in:

  • File rejection

  • Years of delay

  • Cost overruns running into crores

That’s why experienced SRA liaisoning firms dominate successful projects.
