UP RERA 2024 Latest Update
UP RERA orders builders to use names similar to Sanctioned maps.
27 March, 2024: Uttar Pradesh RERA has ordered builders and developers to use the names recorded in the sanctioned map for registered projects. UP RERA said that the name of towers and blocks should also be mentioned during map approval and should be used after approval.
UP RERA took this decision to avoid confusion and delays in completion of projects due to differences in names. There will be no distinction in the name of occupancy and completion certificates after receipt of application from the developer in closing the project accounts. Home buyers were confused by the difference between registered names and names in use.
UP RERA orders promoters to prove legal ownership of project land.
March 26, 2024: Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority has demanded builders and promoters to show legal ownership of land. The subject of discussion is the land on which the developer is applying for project registration.
If there is no legal ownership, the promoter must ensure:
The promoter needs permission from the land owners to start the proposed project.
There should be a registered joint development agreement with the land owner for the project.
The developer will have to submit an affidavit with RERA mentioning that the land is free from any encumbrances.
The developer must inform the RERA authority about any obstruction.
It is not legally possible for the developer or promoter to give the title of the units and proportionate share of the land to the allottees if they do not follow these instructions.
UPRERA asks home buyers to include names of co-complainants in complaints
March 19, 2024: Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UPRERA) has told home buyers that the co-allottee must be named in the sale agreement. To do this, all the processes have been completed on the UP RERA portal. This decision has been taken after observing some instances where complaints were settled only after listening to an allottee. Later, another allottee filed a complaint saying that his name was not in the complaint. This facility will be available from March 5, 2024.
“It is not necessary that their interests always coincide, and disputes sometimes occur between such co-allottees or co-owners. The absence of names of co-allottees in the complaint lodged with RERA is a lacuna which cannot be resolved. Complaints, execution of orders and further proceedings take more time than necessary” UP RERA said.
