Haryana’s real estate regulatory authority, Gurugram, has denied Godrej Developers & Properties application for extension of registration citing non-compliance of RERA norms.
The Authority said that despite several reminders, the promoter of the project, which is Godrej Developers & Properties LLP, failed to rectify the deficiencies in the application, which showed a mismatch of several details provided in the project's quarterly progress report (QPR) from those mentioned in the CA certificate. There were also deficiencies relating to license renewal and bank balance, Haryana RERA's order said.
The promoter is developing a group housing project Godrej Air Phase 4 in Sector 85, Gurugram.
The promoter had obtained the RERA registration in December 2018 and it was valid up to June 2023, by which the promoter had to complete the housing project.

The firm had applied with RERA Gurugram seeking further extension of the registration to complete the project, moving an application under Section 6 of the RERA Act.
During the scrutiny of the application, the Authority observed many deficiencies in the application and asked the promoter to rectify the same, Haryana RERA order said.
The Authority granted ample time to the promoter to remove the deficiencies to obtain an extension for the registration. The Authority sent a final show cause notice in February this year to the promoter for rejection of the application but it did not receive any reply from the promoter, HRERA said.
