Construction and Real Estate Accounting in Pune: RERA-Compliant Financial Management for Developers

Pune is Maharashtra's second-largest economic contributor with a nominal GDP exceeding Rs 4.18 lakh crore, and the city's construction and real estate sector is a primary driver of this growth. With over 90,000 residential units sold in 2024 and average prices crossing Rs 6,590 per square foot, Pune's property market demands precise financial management. The MahaRERA Pune Division Office at Aundh oversees all developer registrations and quarterly compliance filings for projects across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and the surrounding Pune Metropolitan Region.

Whether you are a residential developer launching towers in Baner and Wakad, an infrastructure contractor working on the Pune Metro corridor, or a commercial property firm managing Grade A offices in Hinjewadi IT Park and Kharadi, construction accounting errors can trigger RERA penalties, GST notices from the Pune Commissionerate, and inflated project costs. Patron Accounting's Pune office at Wagholi provides end-to-end construction and real estate accounting to developers and contractors across the city.

Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

Pune's construction sector serves multiple segments, each with distinct accounting requirements. Residential developers in Baner, Wakad, Hinjewadi Phase 3, Punawale, and Tathawade must maintain project-wise escrow accounts under MahaRERA and file quarterly financial progress reports.

Infrastructure contractors working on the Pune Metro expansion (Lines 3, 4, and 4A), the Pune Ring Road (170 km project), and highway widening projects require Works Contract accounting under GST with 18% applicable rate and careful input tax credit management. After company incorporation, many builders also need Private Limited Company Registration for their SPV structures.

Industrial construction firms operating in Chakan MIDC and MIDC Bhosari build factories, warehouses, and logistics parks. These projects involve long-term contracts, milestone-based billing, retention clauses, and performance guarantees that require specialised accounting treatment.

Commercial real estate firms managing Grade A office spaces in Hinjewadi IT Park, Magarpatta City, and Kharadi's EON IT Park must track lease income, common area maintenance charges, and tenant improvement costs under Ind AS 116 (Leases).

Any entity in Pune with annual turnover exceeding Rs 20 lakh under Section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 must register for GST. Developers receiving advances on under-construction flats attract GST at 5% for non-affordable housing (without ITC) or 1% for affordable housing under Notification No. 3/2019-Central Tax (Rate).
