Real estate body to check veracity of two-thirds consent of allottees

In a significant development, the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) of Gurugram has decided to check the veracity of the two-thirds consent submitted by the real estate promoters in the case of any changes in the layout plans or any revisions in the building plans in a real estate project.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, mandates changes or revisions, as the case may be, in the layout or building plans subject to a two-thirds of consent of allottees as a must.

“The promoter shall not make any additions and alterations in the sanctioned plans, layout plans and specifications and the nature of fixtures, fittings and amenities described therein in respect of the apartment, plot or building, as the case may be, which are agreed to be taken, without the previous consent of that person. The promoter may make such minor additions or alterations as may be required by the allottee, or such minor change as may be necessary due to structural reasons duly recommended by an authorised architect or engineer,” said Section 14 of the RERA Act.
