"All ongoing projects have to be registered. To register a project developers have to adhere to a host of formalities. When a developer applies for registration with RERA we ask for a report from the concerned development authority and only when the authority affirms that all plans are in place and all formalities have been completed, do we register the project," Balwinder Kumar, UP Rera member, told Moneycontrol.
Most of these developers were sent showcause notices to explain and complete the formalities or documentation but they failed to respond or turn up. We, therefore, decided to cancel their applications. Only after they have completed all the formalities can we reconsider their application, he adds.
It is mandatory under RERA for all projects above 500 sq m or those having over eight kitchens to register under RERA.
