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