NEW DELHI: The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HARERA), Gurugram has initiated suo motu proceedings against Nitara Projects for alleged violation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
The authority took cognizance under Section 35 of the Act after observing that the promoter was allegedly developing, advertising, marketing and selling residential floors without obtaining mandatory project registration under Section 3(1) of the Act.
HARERA said the company’s promotional material and advertisements did not disclose required details such as the RERA registration number, the authority’s website and the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) licence number.
The authority had issued a show-cause notice to the promoter on April 16, 2026. However, no reply was received during the hearing held on May 11, 2026.
HARERA has now granted a final opportunity to the promoter to explain why penal action should not be initiated under the relevant provisions of the Act. The next hearing has been scheduled for June 8, 2026.
The authority said failure to appear before it or file a reply on the next date may lead to ex-parte proceedings and penal action against the developer.
The authority also noted instances where developers purchase plots in licensed colonies and construct and sell independent residential floors without project registration, thereby avoiding regulatory scrutiny.
It has advised homebuyers and investors to verify the registration status of projects on its official website before booking or investing in any property. It said buyers investing in unregistered projects may face risks and may not be able to seek relief under the RERA Act.
