Will take action against builders who give possession to flat buyers without registry: Greater Noida Authority

“Until the dues of the authority remain and the occupancy certificate is not received, the flats will not be registered. Even though the flat buyers have started living without a registry, they will not get ownership rights until the flats are registered. Builders are getting away with giving unauthorised possession to the buyers,” said the Authority in a statement.

Soumya Srivastava, OSD, Greater Noida Authority, said to save the buyers from the troubles, who have invested their hard-earned money for flats, they have got a project-wise survey done by Currie & Brown. “The agency has so far surveyed more than two dozen projects. In some of these projects, buyers are living without registration,” said Srivastava.

The official also said the report was presented before Ritu Maheshwari, who directed the builder department to issue notices to the builders of all such projects.

“Along with this, the CEO has given instructions to cancel the allotments to those builders who have not completed the projects and have not paid the dues of the Authority yet. It means the allotments of the builders, who have not yet completed the project, will now be cancelled. The Authority will take possession of the vacant area,” said the Authority.
