DTCP wants the leases of Raheja Developers and Brisk Infrastructure to be terminated.

GURUGRAM: Because they failed to pay for structural audits of their city-owned residential societies, the town and country planning department (DTCP) has recommended that all projects by two developers be barred from registering sale and lease deeds.

District town planner Amit Madholia wrote to deputy commissioner Nishant Yadav, despite repeated reminders that Raheja Developers and Brisk Infrastructure had failed to deposit the audit amounts.

In the first week of August of this year, the district administration finalized a panel of four agencies to conduct structural audits of 16 housing societies where residents claimed serious flaws in construction quality.

The agencies were to be paid Rs 1.75 per sqft, with the developers footing the bill for the audit. The developers were instructed to deposit the funds in the district administration’s escrow account by the second week of September. Madholia stated that developers were reminded to deposit the audit deposit on September 24 and October 6.

The deputy commissioner called a meeting on October 28 and gave the developers seven days to pay their debts.
According to the account statements on November 11, however, the two developers made no payment, according to Madholia’s letter. If lease deed execution is halted, it will have an impact on 16 Raheja Developers projects and one Brisk Infrastructure project.

While Brisk was unavailable for comment, Raheja’s spokesperson stated, “We have requested that the department include our projects in the structural audit process despite the fact that we did not design or build them. The department has been asked to work with the agencies that built and oversaw these projects to resolve the issue. If our application is rejected, we will, however, comply with DTCP orders.”
