Chandigarh Revokes Godrej Properties' Building Plans and OC

30 Jul 2024 CW Team

Chandigarh has revoked the building plans and occupancy certificate (OC) for a commercial project developed by Godrej Properties. The decision was made after the administration discovered discrepancies between the approved plans and the actual construction.

The project, located in a prominent commercial area, was under scrutiny for not adhering to the submitted blueprints. The municipal authorities found that the construction deviated from the approved designs and failed to meet local regulatory standards.

As a result, all construction activities have been halted, and the building cannot be used until the issues are rectified and a new occupancy certificate is issued. The revocation of the OC means that the building is now ineligible for occupancy and commercial use until compliance is achieved.

Godrej Properties, a major player in the Indian real estate market, is now required to address the violations and make necessary adjustments to bring the project in line with regulatory requirements. The company has expressed its commitment to cooperating with the authorities and resolving the issues promptly.

This action underscores the importance of adhering to building regulations and maintaining the integrity of construction practices. The Chandigarh administration has reiterated its dedication to ensuring that all real estate developments meet safety and compliance standards to protect public interests.

The company will need to work closely with municipal officials to resolve the discrepancies and seek reapproval before resuming work on the project.
