Haryana RERA Denies A Promoter’s Request To Extend The Registration Of A Group Housing Project

The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HARERA), Gurugram, has denied Shree Vardhman Infraheights Private Limited’s application for an extension of registration for its group housing project Shree Vardhman Victoria due to “repeated non-compliance” with various rules and the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

According to a statement issued by HARERA on March 27, it had given Vardhman Infraheights up to 24 chances to comply with the requirements that were required in order to renew or grant extension to the project’s registration, but the promoter failed to do so.

After hearing the case on March 20, the authority decided to reject the application and immediately order the promoter’s bank accounts to be frozen. “Because no one has appeared on behalf of the promoter applicant, the promoter appears to have no intention of pursuing the matter.”

“Based on the foregoing considerations, the application for extension of the project’s registration is hereby rejected under the provisions of Section 6 of the RERA Act, 2016,” the bench of Ashok Sangwan, Vijay Kumar Goyal, and Sanjeev Kumar Arora said in its order.

The processing fee paid by the promoter would also be forfeited, according to the authority. As a result, queries sent to the developer did not receive an immediate response.

In October 2021, an application was submitted under Section 6 of RERA for the extension of registration of the Shree Vardhman Victoria group housing project in Sector 70 of Gurugram, which is being developed by Shree Vardhman Infraheights.

The authority stated that it reviewed the registration extension application and discovered deficiencies, which it communicated to the promoter with instructions to correct. “It should also be noted that the time period for project completion and registration expired only in June 2021, not including the six-month COVID 19 period.”

According to the order, “the office is requested to initiate the process outlined in Section 8 of the Act of 2016, as well as to issue a public notice to that effect, and the project’s bank account is hereby frozen, with notification sent to the bank.”
