On Wednesday, the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) issued notices to developers of at least seventeen housing project companies for violating occupancy rights by not obtaining certificates but providing possession of apartments to flat owners.
As per the DTCP officials, occupancy certificates were issued partly but the whole apartment was occupied.
Currently, there are at least 28 residential projects across Haryana where the possession has been allotted without obtaining the occupancy certificate out of which 17 belong to Gurugram and 2 each in Rewari and Sonepat as per the state officials.
The notification issued by the state of Haryana on Tuesday suggests that those who have illegally occupied buildings without certificates will be liable for penal action under Section 10 of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act 1975.
Some of these projects belong to prominent housing companies like Unitech, Ansal, Vatika and Vipul.
