Gurgaon RERA to verify developer consent for project changes

12 Sep 2024 CW Team

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in Gurugram will now verify the two-thirds consent submitted by real estate developers when proposing changes to layout or building plans in ongoing projects. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016, any changes to these plans must have the consent of two-thirds of allottees.

Typically, the authority issues a public notice inviting objections before approving such changes. If no objections are raised, the changes are allowed; otherwise, objections are heard, and decisions are made on merit.

"To safeguard allottees' rights under the RERA Act, we will now verify the consent more thoroughly," said an official from the authority.

Section 14 of the RERA Act mandates that developers cannot alter the sanctioned plans or specifications without prior consent from the allottees. However, minor changes for architectural or structural reasons, approved by an authorised architect or engineer, can be made after notifying the allottees.
