GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has directed all
builders and developers in the city to refrain from handing over
possession of housing and commercial units without obtaining
'completion certificates' of projects.
The directions have been issued after detection of increasing number
of cases where buyers had moved into premises of under-construction
projects that did not have completion certificates. Officials at the
GDA said that due to lack of proper civic amenities within and around
such under-construction projects, several occupants who have already
moved in have been making rounds of the development authority's office
complaining about lack of basic provisions like water supply,
streetlights, etc.
GDA officials say that punitive action might be taken against
developers who have been resorting to the practice of handing over
possession of properties even though it is mandatory to obtain
'completion certificates' under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and
Development Act, 1973. "Immediately upon completion of a project, the
concerned developer should apply for obtaining a completion
certificate. Allottees should be handed over possession of properties
and encouraged to move in only after the project is certified as
complete by the authority," said RK Singh, secretary of GDA.
Section 15-A of the urban planning and development Act, besides making
it mandatory upon developers to obtain certificates of completion from
the development authority, also prohibits allottees in projects from
occupying any portion of it until the project has been certified by
the authority to have been completed as per plan.
GDA has also appealed to buyers to ensure that the projects they move
into have obtained the necessary 'completion certificates' so that any
kind of inconveniences or accidents, caused due to non-completion of
works, are avoided in the future.
Through a notice, the GDA has distanced itself away from any onus
likely to be placed upon it for any untoward incident reported to have
occurred due to occupancy in under-construction projects.
"Allottees in projects of private developers should insist upon
completion certificates before taking possession of properties.
Developers would be forced to obtain these certificates if buyers put
up the pressure for it.
