Mumbai, Jul 17 (PTI) The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has the power to take action against developers for violations, Maharashtra minister Uday Samant said in the assembly on Thursday.
Registration under RERA is mandatory for all developers, he said while responding to a calling attention motion raised by MLA Gajanan Lavate.
Complaints had been received regarding building permissions within the limits of Akot Municipal Council and a hearing on the matter was held on December 7, 2022 in the office of the Akola District Collector, the minister said.
The applicant had submitted a request for construction permission on March 31, 2021, attaching supporting documents related to land demarcation (gunthewari) from 2007-08. However, original land records were reportedly destroyed in a 2018 fire.
Based on available evidence, the then-authorities granted offline construction permission on April 18, 2022, as the BPMS (Building Permission Management System) was not fully operational at the time.
The approval was later updated online, and applicable fees were paid, the assembly was told.
“However, since the builder has not registered the project under RERA, action under the RERA Act will be recommended. A formal communication will be sent to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority in this regard,” Samant said. PTI MR BNM
