Industrial Plot No.1, Sector 90, Noida

Industrial Plot No.1, Sector 90, Noida www.infralive.com 32 Infra LIVE June 15, 2022 Expert view: RB Sinha, Retired DG of C&AG of India, Ex-Member of RERA, Bihar conditions of letter of allotment, Brochure, lease deed etc. It is high time that the state government andNoida Authority take immedi- ate action without any further delay so as to restore the confi- dence of the people in the gover- nance system. UP RERA should also order a High-Level committee to investi- gate as to how four projects of Bhutani Group were registered without submission of “legally va l i d l and document s du l y authenticated by the owner of the land and duly approved by Lessor / Noida Authority” andwithout issue of a sanc- tioned plan in name of t h e p r o m o t e r - B h u t a n i G r o u p . Pending investiga- tion, the projects n e e d t o b e kept under close scru- tiny. land on which the development is proposed along with legally valid documents with authentication of such title, if such land is owned by another person. Bhutani Group has however not provided and UP RERA has not obtained “ legally valid documents with authentica- tion of such title by the CBS” before registration of four real e s t a t e p r o j e c t s n a m e l y Alphathum Phase I-IV in gross violation of the original sanc- tioned plan and revised sanc- tioned plan issued by the Noida Authority. One of the prime objectives of the RERA is to protect the inter- ests of the consumers. I am afraid, RERA's action in this case has rather endangered the interests of the buyers/end-users. Noida Authority has also not acted cred- itably by not taking prompt action when the matter was brought to their notice by the Constitutional Auditor. By simply stating in its reply to the C&AG that “the plot (No. 01/Sector 90) was allotted to CBS International and the lease deed and approval of the map have been executed with this name only. The project name Alphathum and promoter as Bhutani Group is not avail- able in the departmental documents”, the Noida Authority has abdi- c a t e d i t s t o t a l responsibilities to e n s u r e a n d e n f o r c e t h e t e rms and It is bizarre to observe registration of two real estate projects of two different promoters for one tower. While one project is registered for lower floors up to third/fourth floors, the other project is regis- rd th tered for higher floors (3 /4 to t h 2 7 f l o o r ) o n t h e s a m e Tower/Block in name of another promoter. This has happened not for one tower but for as many as three towers i.e. six real estate projects have been registered by two p r omo t e r s f o r 3 Tow- ers/Blocks. Further these projects were registered on July 31, 2017, August 4, 2017, and August 15, 2017 by UP RERA, though the r e v i s ed s anc t i on p l an wa s approved by the Noida Authority on September 18, 2017. It is there- fore apparent that all these pro- jects were registered based on the original sanction plan approved on July 14, 2014. Incidentally, none of the Towers/Blocks in the or i g ina l sanc t i on p l an was th allowed up to 27 floor. In the original sanction plan, construc- tion of Tower A (G+23), Tower B (G+6), Tower C (G+6), Tower D (G+6), Tower E (G+3) & Tower F (GF only) was only allowed. It was therefore not clear as to how the Project Alphathum I-IV were registered in August 2017 up to th 27 floor in each project. RERA Act 2016 has enjoined upon the promoters to submit a declaration, supported by an affidavit, which shall be signed by the promoter or any person authorized by the promoter, stat- ing that he has a legal title to the
