The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has warned architects and engineers of “tough measures” if buildings for which they have applied for occupation certificates have structural issues after the final inspection.
Officials said architects and engineers could even face FIRs or their licenses can be revoked if they prove to be regular offenders. The move comes amid a vertical collapse of rooms in Chintels Paradiso that killed two people on February 10th. Residents have long doubted the safety of the building’s construction.
In accordance with the amended Haryana Building Code of 2017, a building owner only needs to apply for a DTCP through a recognized architect. The department grants occupation certificates if it is assessed that the applicant complies with all building regulations.
K. M. Pandurang, director of the DTCP, warned: “Architects who misuse their position and certify the wrong documents to obtain OCs will be punished.”
Professional licenses may be canceled-
District town planner RS Batth said, the DTCP often notes that architects have applied for occupation certificates of residential properties in licensed areas without structural validation. We have taken note of that. The board has now asked architects and engineers to first file cases with their signatures after the buildings have been duly inspected for zoning violations or non-compliance. They must ensure that the buildings are properly furnished and finished. Most important part is that they should be structurally good.
In the current configuration, the main responsibility for the file lies with the architects or engineers looking for the occupation certificates. The architects have repeatedly stated that they examined the site and assured that no violations were found during the construction of a building. However, the inspection of the department showed the opposite. In such cases, if violations are found, the architect certifying the building will be responsible. For regular offenders, the office will recommend FIR. Their professional licenses may also be revoked and they may be blacklisted from filing for future OC applications.
As Supertech goes bankrupt, buyers fear further delays in possession of their homes. When a developer goes bankrupt, the first step a buyer should take is to review the contract for options and other clauses.
The real estate company Supertech, which has completed various projects in Noida, Ghaziabad and Greater Noida, was declared bankrupt by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The developer failed to pay Rs 431 crore to a consortium of banks. The move could affect 11,000 home buyers from the company’s ongoing projects in the NCR region.
How did it all start?
The lawsuit was filed after Union Bank of India sued the RK Arora-promoted company. Since the developer whose two illegal towers have been demolished in Noida has not repaid a loan to a state-run lender. The loan was used for the Eco Village II project in Greater Noida.
Supertech Ltd, which plans to appeal the decision to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), said, there are 38,041 units in projects managed by the company, of which 27,111 units have been sold. Mr. Arora said the order will not affect a number of the group’s projects, including Golf Country, Supernova, Azalia, ORB, Hues, Esquare, Valley and Basera, as they are run by another company.
In January 2020, Supertech again applied for a Rs 1,500 crore loan from a newly established state anti-stress fund, to complete 12 ongoing housing projects in Noida, Greater Noida, and Uttar Pradesh. A year later, Union Bank filed an NCLT alleging that Supertech had breached its payment obligations of Rs 431.92 crore.
Demolition of Twin Towers
Things got critical when the Supreme Court on August 31, 2021, ordered the demolition of the twin towers built by Supertech in Noida. Due to illegal construction, aided by cooperation between the developer and the development authority. The court also ordered Supertech to pay Rs 2 crore to the resident welfare association of Emerald Court, due to the problems caused by the construction of the twin towers, which have restricted sunlight and fresh air for existing residents.
The Supreme Court stated that all investments from 633 home buyers who have booked apartments in the Twin Towers must be repaid at an interest rate of 12 percent. 248 home buyers took a quick refund, and around 133 home buyers took apartments in other Supertech projects.
Rejection to Debt settlement
The Union Bank of India has reportedly rejected a one-time debt settlement offer from Supertech. On March 25, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court decided to initiate insolvency proceedings against the developer firm that acted on Union Bank’s plea.
Effect on upcoming projects of Supertech
Projects that will be affected are Eco Village I, II and III in Greater Noida West (or Noida Extension), as well as the Emerald Court Project, which houses the Twin Towers.
Supertech in a statement said it would approach NCLAT to appeal the decision on the grounds that the case belongs to a financial creditor. The company stated that the NCLT request will not affect the construction of ongoing projects or the operation of the company. “We are committed to delivering units to selected allottees. Also we have a strong track record of delivering over 40,000 apartments over the course of the last 7 years. We will continue to deliver flats to our customers as part of our mission in 2022, and we committed to delivering 7,000 units by December 2022.”
Time taken by Supertech insolvency proceedings?
With the onset of insolvency proceedings or Supertech goes bankrupt news, buyers fear further delays in possession of their homes.
Prashant Thakur, Sr. Director & Head – Research, ANAROCK Group said, “Homebuyers who have invested in Supertech properties and waiting for the possession have no choice but to wait for their home until a resolution. Generally, such procedures take a long time before a solution is found. The only positive is that the Supreme Court has previously stated that owners are part of the creditors in such insolvency proceedings.”
Pankaj Kapoor, MD at Liases Foras said, “Following the example of Unitech and Amprapali, NCLT took over the case and the home buyers recognized as a creditor in the case. Which means that the waiting time for a decision must not exceed one year. Also, since only one company declared insolvent, this should not affect buyers who have invested in projects in other group companies”.
What should home buyers do, as Supertech goes bankrupt?
When a developer goes bankrupt, the first step a buyer should take is to review the contract for options and other clauses.
Aditya Parolia, a partner in law firm PSP Legal said, homebuyers who have invested in Supertech projects need to file their claims with a insolvency resolution specialist until April 8, 2022. They must also provide all documents to the professional. Documents like contract between the developer and the buyer, accounts statement, and correspondence regarding special privileges.
Kunal Arora, partner at Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan Attorneys, said, however, Supertech Limited’s insolvency proceedings are likely to be detrimental to its current projects. Homebuyers left without legal protection as they also have financial lender status. They are on an equal footing with banks and other lenders under the IBC. As a first step, home buyers should immediately register their claims by submitting the necessary documents to the IRP. This will allow them to participate in the decision-making process.
Home buyers should avoid default on the EMI
Sonam Chandwani, managing partner, KS Legal & Associates, said, home buyers must file a claim to the bankruptcy attorney or insolvency resolution professional. Once the claim approved, the home buyer becomes a creditors committee member and financial lender. Hence, giving them the right to vote on important decisions along with other financial lenders. However, the court has yet to rule on whether home buyers secured or unsecured creditors, and it is time for the courts to do so. Home buyers should keep an eye on the various announcements by checking the Supertech website regularly. They need to work together as a team. Also they should prevent default on the EMI loan, even after their developer goes bankrupt. Sense, this could turn into yet another lawsuit that will only make things worse.
A plan to issue property cards to apartment owners may soon begin with projects registered with MahaRERA, a senior tax official said. The scheme of issuing individual property cards for apartments (vertical objects) was approved by the state cabinet in 2019. All apartment owners were to receive these property cards with information about carpet areas, utility rooms, loan information, and 7/12 extract (Utara) of the land.
Committee to solve objections
However, the project gave rise to a number of proposals and objections, after which a commission was set up to make recommendations to the state before the project was launched. The purpose was to map the vertical growth in cities and rural areas and maintain an independent rights register and registers of flats and individual apartments units.
“The Committee on Vertical Property Cards presented its recommendations to the government and proposed a gradual implementation of the scheme. Discussions are underway with the Maharashtra Property Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA). The final decision will be made by the government,” the official said.
The state issues property cards for urban areas and 7/11 declarations for rural areas that define the property rights of one or more persons. However, there is no document confirming the ownership of a person who owns an apartment in a house built on a particular site.
With this in mind, the Ministry of Revenue decided to adapt the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, the Property Register and Apartment Registration and Building Codes to the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code of 1966. This allows the state to issue a property card for apartments. Maharashtra has about 56 lakh property cards for plots and 2.5 crore 7/12 extracts. “But there is no evidence that vertical buildings such as apartments or commercial complexes were built on these lands,” the official said.
Developer Supertech was declared bankrupt by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on Friday, which could affect 25,000 home buyers. The company law tribunal enacted in response to a petition filed by the Union Bank of India due to non-payment of dues. In response, the developer indicated that it would file an appeal to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) against the NCLT measure.
Order will not affect the company operations
“Because all the company’s projects are financially viable, no financial party or creditor can suffer losses. The order will not affect the operations of any other Supertech Group company, the real estate firm said in a statement.”
“The NCLT order will not affect the construction of current projects or the operation of the company. We are committed to give possessions of apartments to homebuyers. We have extensive experience in commissioning more than 40,000 apartments over the past 7 years. Under our ‘Mission Complete-2022’ mission, we have set a goal of delivering 7,000 units by December 2022.”
It also states that Supernova, ORB, Golf Country, HUES, Azaila, Esquire, Valley. Basera, Metropolis and Pentagon Mall and hotels will not be affected by the decision.
NCLT is the authority for the insolvency resolution process of companies under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). An NCLT’s decision can be appealed to NCLAT.
Earlier this month, officials announced that the Supertech’s Twin Towers in Noida would be demolished on May 22 according to the Supreme Court order. On August 31, 2021, the Supreme Court ordered the demolition of Supertech Apex (100 meters) and Ceyane (97 meters) buildings because the twin towers were erected in violation of building codes.
In its quest to promote real estate and promote the construction industry, the government of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has extended the period of stamp duty exemption for investors who sell their property within one year of purchase to take advantage of this exemption.
The corresponding bill was approved by the state legislature on Wednesday. However, investors may be exempt from stamp duty even in the event of a resale completed within three years of the purchase of their property. On such deals, stamp duty is paid only on the difference in the price of the property and not on the full amount.
It should be noted that according to the RERA Act, which enters into force in the state on 1 May 2017. It generally takes at least three years to complete a project within the conditions and rules of RERA Act.
In the current scenario, if an investor buys an apartment and wants to resell it within a year, a certain exemption from stamp duty is granted by charging only the price difference. The bill however states that the annual maturity has not allowed for a large profit from such a trade since the pandemic. The number of resale making such a profit is very negligible.
Encourages more investments and sale-purchase deals
The bill is based on the need to stimulate business in connection with the rapid development of the global economy and the post-pandemic situation.
If the annual period of validity of the permit is extended to three years, this privilege will used by a larger number of investors, according to the wording of the purpose of the bill. This decision would not only improve investment volume. But also speed up the signing of sales contracts, which would ultimately benefit the state’s large revenue from stamp duty.
Revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat said, various reports from the real estate industry point to the losses they have suffered, especially in the post-COVID period. “This decision will encourage investors to enter into real estate transactions and in turn help the government generate revenue and create jobs.”
Builders can misuse this service
Experts from the cooperative sector and stamp duty sector also shared their opinion and said, “This could be a step towards pleasing builders and their investors. It is very possible that builders are financing politicians. We all know that the election is just around the corner. Hence there is a possibility that funds will be given to political parties.”
Vinod Sampat, president of the Registration Fee & Stamp Duty Payers Association said, “Builders also have the opportunity to abuse this service by selling apartments to their employees/assistants. As well as taking out home loans and using these funds for personal needs. Therefore, they can receive funds at a very low price. We all know that housing mortgage rates are much lower.
CREDAI Maharashtra strongly opposed the proposal to introduce a 1% metro surcharge on all property purchases in Pune, Mumbai, Thane and Nagpur from 1 April and called on the government to reconsider this decision.
Given the rise in prices of key raw materials, including cement and steel, Maharashtra realty developers are planning to stop buying raw materials and construction work on their sites. The developers have also requested the MahaRERA (Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority) with a request to extend the deadlines for completion of current projects by at least 6 months. Then they have time to put the construction work on hold until prices get rationalised.
Projects will be stopped or delayed-
The real estate sector has proven resilient in the difficult times caused by the pandemic. The industry has been able to survive thanks to the easing of the stamp duty, lower mortgage rates and agreements by developers. Indian real estate, the second largest employer, is in a recovery phase. It will not be able to absorb this runaway price increase, and many projects will be delayed or stopped without government intervention, which ultimately affects consumers and construction workers at a large pace.
Currently, about 10,000 construction sites in Maharashtra directly or indirectly employ about 1 million workers. Any closure of works will directly affect them and may also result in a minimum delay of six months.
The price of steel, the main component of building materials, was Rs 42,000 per tonne a year ago and rose to about Rs 84,800. Cement prices increased to Rs 400 from Rs 260 for a bag of 50 kg. The rate for 4-inch bricks was Rs 6,500 per thousand and increased to Rs. 8000. Sand and wash sand show the same price increase. Along with building materials, electrical cables, fixtures, tiles, pipes, plumbing, manufacturing, sand and secondary minerals also increased by 40% to 45%, according to the industry body.
Requires Government Intervention-
CREDAI Maharashtra, through its various city associations, has already sent several inquiries to Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Ajit Pawar and Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat on various issues requiring government intervention during the pandemic. In addition, CREDAI-Maharashtra strongly opposed the proposal to introduce a 1% metro surcharge on all property purchases in Pune, Mumbai, Thane and Nagpur from 1 April and called on the government to reconsider this decision.
Price beyond affordability-
This was stated by the President of CREDAI Maharashtra Sunil Furde, “Prices of steel, cement and other building materials have been steadily rising over the past 2 years. Now they have risen to a level that many developers cannot afford, especially in Tier II and Tier III cities. The association of 61 member cities affiliated with CREDAI Maharashtra had no choice but to temporarily suspend purchases and suspend construction work.”
While some material price increases in recent weeks may be related to the war between Russia and Ukraine. More than 60 Maharashtra CREDAI departments have asked the government and agencies to check if there has been a recent rise in construction materials cost, over past few months, naturally or due to cartelization and profiteering.
The prices of important building materials, including steel, cement, brick, sand and wash sand, electric cables, tiles, pipes, plumbing, sand, secondary minerals, among others, increased by 40% and 45%. The effect of this on access costs is around Rs 400-600 per square feet. It is expected to affect home buyers, especially in affordable segments.
In addition to steel and cement, the prices of hardware like glass panels and other raw materials have risen sharply.
Planning to buy your dream home? Maybe now is the best time to buy your dream home at the best price. After a steady rise in raw material prices, primarily steel and cement, developers have announced that prices are expected to rise by Rs 400-500 per square foot. The announcement was made by members of Credai Gujarat and applicable to about 40 city chapters of the developer organization.
The decision was made at a board meeting in Credai Gujarat held on Tuesday in Palanpur. Raw material prices have been a nightmare for developers for some time now.
While steel prices have reached Rs 80,500 per tonne, cement costs Rs 430 per bag, increasing construction costs for ongoing projects. Steel prices fluctuated around Rs 60,000 per tonne at the end of December. While cement prices in the same period were Rs 325 per bag.
The rise in steel and cement prices also affected construction contractors. The Gujarat Contractors Association (GCA) has been waiting a long time for the government’s demand to revise the cost of the project in line with rising prices. In line with their contribution, the state government recently allowed a rise in property prices by as much as 5% in line with rising raw material prices.
Constant surge in prices is major problem
Credai Gujarat chairman Ajay Patel said, steel and cement prices have risen sharply as a result developer profitability has fallen significantly. Until now, most developers have tolerated the costs, but as prices continue to rise, the input costs are increasing. Developers suggest that in addition to steel and cement, the prices of hardware like glass panels and other raw materials have also risen sharply. Hence, the prices of properties both commercial and residential will rise in Gujarat from 2 April.
The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA) has decided to play a more active role in the mediation between builders and development authorities.
UP-RERA plans to open a microsite in its official window where the affected developers will be able to register complaints against the relevant authorities. Rera found that the most common complaints were delays in approving maps, unfinished roads or underdeveloped civilian infrastructure around communities. These procedural delays often prevent projects from being completed on time, and the burden ultimately falls on homebuyers.
In addition to resolving disputes between builders and buyers, Rera will also mediate with relevant authorities when receiving complaints from developers on the microsite. Developers often question the role of the regulatory authorities when it comes to interfering with industry or development authorities, which are primarily responsible for issuing completion certificates or developing civilian infrastructure around projects.
A platform to lodge complaints against authorities-
Rajive Kumar, the UP-RERA chairperson, said, builders often complain that the local development authority handles issues related to their project. This often hampers the overall growth of the project. In some cases, roads have not been completed, maps have not been approved and urban infrastructure in disarray. Hence, we decided to create a platform on UP-RERA’s main website, so that developers can file pending complaints of any development or industrial authority in the state. We can take over all the cases and become an intermediary between the developer and the competent authority.
At the end homebuyers had to suffer –
Manoj Gaur, the Credai national vice-president, said, at present, RERA cannot issue directives or take action on any industry or development authority. Procedural delays often become an obstacle to timely implementation of the project. We have long demanded that the development authorities comply with RERA law. This measure will partially solve the problem. Unless the RERA Act is amended to give it the power to intervene in the affairs of the competent authorities.
Several projects built in Noida and Greater Noida, but lacked proper roads access, sewer lines or electricity connections. The responsibility of the development authorities is to develop basic public services. In the absence of these services, projects remain unfinished for a long time and developers are fined. As a result, homebuyers suffer the most.

Planning to buy commercial property in Noida? In this article, we have summarized some important factors that can not be ignored when investing in commercial real estate. Commercial real estate provides an attractive return on investment by creating multiple sources of income within the same category. In a thriving city like Noida, investing in the commercial segment contributes to a strong diversification of the investor portfolio. However, there are many things you need to know before investing in commercial real estate.
Factors before you buy commercial property in Noida!
1-Budget PLANNING–
Every real estate investment comes with a big capital and therefore requires careful planning. Do not start researching your property until you have the right budget that determines what type of property you can buy. Once you are sure of the locality, allocate your budget to the purchase. Put a buffer with at least a 30% on what you are planning, as there are always extra costs. This will help narrow down the commercial business opportunities available to you. In case you can not get the full investment amount, there are usually options for a small payment along with a mortgage for the remaining amount.
2-Property Location-
The most important aspect to consider is where your commercial property is located and how economically profitable the locality is. The location of your business is the most important aspect for its overall success. Both capital gains and rents are determined by the location of the property. The property should be situated in a safe, green and ideal area for your customers.
Investing in a developing area will be a plus point and give a higher return on investment than in an already developed area. While other factors may be compromised, the location factor should be a must in your decision making process. In addition, the area must be well connected so that travel is not a problem for your customers or employees.
3- Check the legalities-
If you are a newbie then it’s better to consult a property lawyer. A good lawyer will ease the litigation process and ensure that your commercial property is free of any legal issues. This is something you don’t want to deal with later. The tenant or buyer can renegotiate or evict you or even sue you if there is a dispute regarding your property. So, before you buy commercial property in Noida make sure that there are no legal consequences for your property.
4- Structure of lease-
Analysis of the rental structure can provide great benefits in the long run. There are also closing periods where tenants cannot leave the premises. Try to formulate a lease structure that works for you. The longer the lock-in period, the more stable your rental income source will be.
5-Additional Charges-
Generally these are the charges that are spent on the operation and maintenance of the property. Additional charges can drain your profits if you do not take them into account and allocate money in advance. These charges are often not mentioned directly, many people make the mistake of not including them in their budget plans and end up suffering. There are various types of hidden fees such as GST, parking fee, renovations, broker fee, preferred location fee, stamp duty and registration fee. These costs usually recommended to discussed in detail when concluding the contract.
6- Security deposit-
Security deposits for commercial leases are very loosely regulated. This way, owners can charge what they deem appropriate and use the deposit they deem appropriate (even charge interest on the payment). Requiring a deposit also a method used by landlords to cover the risk of a tenant not paying rent on time. If the tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can deduct funds from the deposit to maintain income, at least for a short time.
In most cases, the deposit after you move out of the property is used to pay for any damages that may have occurred before a new tenant moves into the property. If the landlord uses the deposit to pay compensation after the end of the lease, they will give you a receipt.
7- Find ideal Tenants-
Once you have bought commercial property in Noida, now it’s time to get an ideal tenant. Find your ideal tenant by determining the location and budget of the property. Whoever you choose as your tenant can play a big role in increasing or decreasing the value of your property. Ideally, multinational companies can be good tenants because their presence in your property adds value. A good tenant not only pays rent on time, but also makes large deposits and is more likely to stay longer. A good tenant should have a healthy track record of on time payments, a positive credit report, and a stable source of income. They should have good references from past landlords, and there shouldn’t be any history of eviction or dangerous behavior.
8- Diversify your portfolio-
Commercial real estate is not free from risk and loss. However, investing in multiple properties in different localities can reduce income volatility, which means less risk. By diversifying your investment across different localities, you can take advantage of ups and downs in different markets and protect your money from a major correction in a particular market. If all your properties were in the same market and that market suffers a slowdown, your portfolio would suffer losses. Therefore, if you have enough funds, then try to diversify your investments.
Conclusion-
Remember that there is no universal rule for investing in commercial real estate. You need to do proper market research before making a final decision. So in order to buy commercial property in Noida, you need to consider all the above factors.
Following repeated complaints about the poor quality of construction, Noida authority began to develop a policy to ensure that building structures are inspected before and after their handover by government authorities or contracting engineers. If approved, the developers and subsequently the apartment owners associations (AOA), will be responsible for carrying out the periodic inspections and repairs proposed in the reports.
According to representatives of the department, before approving the project layout map. Developers would told to perform a structural audit of buildings during the construction of common departments three times at different stages of construction. If the developers do not check, the no occupation certificate will not be issued.
Dedicated authorities for inspection-
Developers often hire project management consultants for their business. However, at present it is not possible to carry out a physical inspection by any agency during the construction period. Under the proposed policy, builders required to enter into contracts with the Authority’s integrated agencies and inspect buildings.
This not only guarantees the quality of construction, but also eliminates various violations, such as construction of additional floors, use of low-quality materials and others. Once ready, the responsibility for its implementation will lie with the builder for the next five years. Thereafter, the AOAs will most likely be contracted to perform regular structural audits and pay for any repairs.
Nikhil Saxena, Noida-based civil engineer said, “The lifespan of a building is typically 50 years. Every five to seven years, the building must be assessed for compliance with the latest standards, earthquakes and seasonal conditions”. On Wednesday, a delegation from the Noida Citizens Forum (NCF) met with Authority officials to demand structural audits every five years.
Ankit Arora, NCF Secretary, said, “The safety of people living in high-rise buildings has long been a concern. But so far no concrete measures have been taken.

Compare the price of the property in question with prices from different developers to make sure that the developer actually offered you the best price. There are many ways to compare properties in your area of interest. Such sources are lists of portals, local brokers or lists of newspapers.
Access and connectivity:-

Possession date:-
Think about when you would like to take possession of an apartment. An under construction property can be cheaper than a property that is ready to move in. It also allow you to pay only a temporary EMI while the project is under construction instead of a full EMI.
Security:-
The safety of neighbors and relatives is an aspect that should not be overlooked when planning a move. If you are planning to buy a home in a metropolitan area, simply check the security systems such as the number of security guards on duty, the presence of an intercom, registration of visitors and their vehicles, etc. Consider these points carefully before investing in real estate.
Legal Check of Property:-
Make sure the property is approved for construction where it is located. The client must have approvals and NOCs from the district development authorities, the water and sewer department, the electricity supply department and the Municipal Corporation. However, if you are taking out a mortgage loan, the relevant bank will check your property documents before approving the loan.
Hidden and Additional Charges:-
Be sure to read carefully all the points in the documents and understand the provisions of the sanctions. The developer is obliged to pay you a monthly fine if you do not take over the apartment within the deferral period. Additional costs such as stamp duty, GST, mortgage processing fees, registration fees and all other fees must also be taken into account.
Conclusion-
When you feel you are ready to become a homeowner, it is important to point out the most important things to consider when buying a flat in Pune. There are several factors to consider, such as your preparation, local market conditions and making sure you know these factors before buying an apartment.

Planning to renovate your home? Here are some common home renovation mistakes that can lower your property value. Home renovation is a serious and expensive investment that should not be taken lightly. Many homeowners, when trying to renovate their home, tend to add too many personal items to the space. However, what you love so much about your home will not necessarily attract a potential buyer. In fact, it may even become their main source of disgust. Home renovation is supposed to increase the existing value of the home, but sometimes it can affect the resale price. Therefore, greater attention to market preferences when renovating a home becomes necessary to get a profitable business when selling.
Some common home renovation mistakes are-
Over Customizing:-
When renovating a home, many may overdo it with customization. People spend way too much on renovations to make sure everything looks according to their needs. Not all customization is good and comes with a number of drawbacks that can turn off potential buyers. Whether it is paint color, flooring, lighting, carpets, etc. Sometimes over-customization can affect or reduce the value of your home.
Overdoing textures:-
In the case of painting a normal wall several processes like sanding, base coating, gap filling, etc. are involved. Hence, to save extra money from sanding and sealing rough walls, many people cover them with textured items such as wallpaper and textured paint. Removing texture or wallpaper can be a daunting task, and most home buyers will refrain from buying a home with an upcoming project or low price. Therefore, overdoing texture can deter buyers.
Changing rooms layout:-
Sometimes to increase area many people combine two bedrooms in order to make a master bedroom. Increasing space is not a bad thing if you are not planning to sell your house. However this decision can backfire if you are planning to sell your house in upcoming days. Most home buyers want separate bedrooms for their children or parents. If you combine two small bedrooms into one, then it can be difficult for you to find a buyer and even get a fairly low price from them.
Installing additional electronics items:-
Having an embedded electronic system is rapidly gaining popularity among the buyers. From home theater systems, Alexa, and built-in music speakers, many people are now installing high-tech built-in electronics in their homes. However, the potential buyer may not be a big fan of such electronics items, and all your renovations can be considered a waste of space. Try not to take up a lot of space in your home, but instead make sure your target customer can enjoy it. This is one of the major home renovation mistakes that most people ignores.
Doing things on your own:-
Instead of consulting a professional help, many people tend to repair or renovate their homes by themselves. DIY renovations can include changing curtains, changing direction of shelves, rearranging beds, sofas, etc. However things can go bad in case of major renovations like electrical fitting, painting, plumbing, false ceiling installations, etc. DIY major renovations can result in decidedly poor craftsmanship, resulting in lower value for the home. A little personalization work is good, but the construction and repair of a house should be left to professionals. Buyers can quickly point out poor craftsmanship, and you may have to pay extra to have it repaired or see the overall value of the home fall.
Too bright or bold Paint Colors:-
Too many bright or bold paint colors can turn off any buyers thus, resulting in no sale. It is a simple but important decision to repaint a room before putting your home up for sale. While painting, select neutral colors to give buyers a blank canvas which can assist them in visualizing the home in their own style.
Conclusion-
There are many more home renovation mistakes, such as developing a swimming pool, renovating only the kitchen or bedroom, and installing a fancy bathroom that can reduce the cost of your house. You need to calculate and avoid over-customization when you need to renovate your home. If you are planning to sell your property in the near or distant future, be sure to avoid these mistakes when renovating your home.

MahaRERA recently issued a circular requiring promoters to provide different types of certificates. These certificates would be from engineers, architects and chartered accountants to the banks. With a copy to the real estate regulatory authority before withdrawing any amount received from the buyers, stating that the payments are in proportion to the percentage of construction completed. The amounts received from the allottees deposited to a separate account.
MahaRERA will upload these certificates provided by the architect and engineer to its website for the convenience of home buyers. This will mean that the home buyers can see the exact status of the project. For example, the amount of construction completed and costs incurred. Previously, the promoter had to receive certificates, and it was only necessary to submit a self-declaration to the bank.
Promoters must also verify their account separately within six months of the end of each fiscal year by a CA. They must also submit an account statement duly certified and signed by the CA. The audit by CA will confirm that the funds raised for a specific project have been used for that project and that the withdrawals correspond to a fraction of the percentage of work completed. This new rule applies to both ongoing, new and upcoming projects.
More financial transparency
The promoters are, in accordance with section (2)(l) D of section 4 of the Act, obliged to deposit 70% of the money raised for the project of the buyers in a separate account in the specified bank. This money used only to cover construction costs, land and other construction costs. To ensure that withdrawals are proportional to the percentage of project work performed. The developer must provide certificates from the engineer, architect and CA (Chartered Accountant) to MahaRERA, other than the bank, at each withdrawal until the project completion certificate is received.
The 2017 Maharera Circular allowed the organizer to make only one self-declaration every quarter. Instead of issuing these three certificates each time on every withdrawal from the bank account. Lawyer Anil D Souza, secretary of the Maharashtra State Bar Association, said, “MahaRERA has not only brought more transparency to the financial aspect of project management. But has also placed a greater responsibility on the promoters along with the engineer, the architect, and CA certifying at each step. Previously, home buyers were unable to know the status of their money, once they have invested in a project. But with this regulation, the authorities can regulate and track the dishonest practices of builders.
A residential plot scheme launched by the Yamuna Expressway Authority in December nearby Jewar airport closed on January 24 with over 30 times more responses.
Against 416 plots on offer in sectors 16, 18 and 20 of YEIDA, which are 6 km from the nearest airport. The authority received about 13,888 applications, officials said Wednesday. Plots range from 120 to 500 square meters and from 1000 to 4000 square meters and demand circles rate from Rs 17,400 to Rs 17,800 per square meter.

The circle rate for plots up to 200 square meters is Rs 17,800 per square meter and Rs 17,400 for plots over 200 square meters.
“This excellent response is a sign of the interest that many people have in the Yamuna Expressway area. In addition to the future of Jewar Airport, interest has also increased due to the launch of various development projects, including International Film City, industrial parks and a high-speed train project, ”added a senior YEIDA official. Also earlier, YEIDA published a city plan for 440 plots.
On Saturday, New Year’s Eve, the Maharashtra government announced that it has completely removed property taxes for residential properties of up to 500 sqft in Mumbai.

Authorities making efforts to increase real estate investment!
Other developers of CREDAI (Confederation of Developers’ Associations of India), who attended the meeting. They asked for the development of residential and commercial townships.
Jaipur Development Commissioner Gaurav Goyal said: “Rajasthan is a state with enormous industrial potential. Investment in the Rajasthan Summit in 2022 not only leads to the development of Jaipur, but will also create new job opportunities.”
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, in the 2021-22 budget announced that an investor summit would be organized to attract more and new investors to the state. The authorities are making an effort to increase investment in the real estate sector.

The issue that the JDA cannot resolve, referred to the state government.
Along with delayed housing projects city buyers have got a new problem. As registries of thousands of apartments stalled, homebuyers began receiving messages from banks demanding an additional 2% per annum at fixed prices. Both state-run and private banks are sending the notice.
These notices from the bank indicate the reason for the delayed registration of the apartment. They referred to certain matters mentioned in the letter of sanction, which was signed between the buyer and the bank at the time of the home loans.
Under these conditions, the buyer of the apartment must present the documents in connection with the conclusion of the sales deeds no later than 60 days after being offered the possession letter by the developer. If no document submitted, the buyer must pay an additional interest of 2% per year in addition to the applicable rates. As the bank will charge mandatory interest rates and increase the balance on a monthly basis. The non-payment of these fees may affect the buyer’s credit rating in the future.
Buyers of apartments in the sectors dedicated to the development of Sports City have suffered the most. Many buyers who sent new messages approached the district’s central bank manager to intervene.
Issues between Noida Authority and Private developers
Narendra Kumar, central government official, bought a 3 BHK apartment in Civitech Stadia in sector 79 in March 2017, said. “Several months ago, I received a notice from my bank that I should pay additional interest. Since I did not submit sale deeds after receiving possession of the flat, they quoted part of the agreement letter. Kumar paid Rs 68 lakhs for his apartment for a loan of Rs 58 lakhs. Kumar monthly EMI of Rs 56,500 can be increased by at least Rs 5,000 if an additional 2% interest applies.
Narendra Kumar received a loan five years ago, said he was responding to the notice and awaiting a decision soon. The buyers of the Sports City project were offered their own apartments. They have been living in them with their families for the past three years. However, due to issues between the Noida Authority and private developers who develop residential complexes in sectors 101, 78, 79, 150 and 152, the execution of sales contracts or registrations has been delayed.
Even after paying the land premium, the developers of the Sports City project are not able to sign a tripartite agreement with the Authority and the buyer, as they have not built the infrastructure or sports facilities in accordance with the rules.
Vedas Ratna, manager of the Lead bank, said that a meeting will take place in the near future. We are talking to more banks and we will accept applications from affected buyers in a meeting with the district magistrate. We may need to contact the Reserve Bank of India for further instructions.
