The Haryana government has asked the real estate developers to take final completion certificates for their projects, failing which their assets will be taken over. Announcing the decision, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar rued the fact that only 15 final completion certificates have been issued so far while around 2,000 societies have been constructed since 1985.
The move will force the builders to complete the project in its entirety."It has also come to our notice that builders take occupation certificates but then they do not apply for completion certificates. The department should make a list of license holders in descending order as per society's age and then it will ask the first 100 license holders to take a completion certificate if they have not taken so.
If they do not apply for the same, then the government will take over their assets and the same will be used to complete pending work before handing it over to the RWAs," said Khattar. The chief minister also said that a dedicated nodal officer will be deputed by the Town and Country Planning Department for expediting the final completion certificate issue.
