Birla Estates has been fined Rs 50 lakh by RERA for violating key provisions of the RERA Act by starting sales without obtaining official approvals. The company had launched a project named “Birla Akira” in sectors 31 and 32A of Gurgaon, but it began operations before receiving full approval, as recognized by Haryana RERA. According to Section 3 of the RERA Act, marketing a project without registering it with RERA is a violation. Birla Estates violated this provision, leading to the fine. To obtain the registration certificate for the project, Birla Estates must complete the remaining documentation, the online DPI process, and pay the Rs 50 lakh fine. Only after this will RERA issue the registration certificate.
Additionally, Haryana RERA imposed a Rs 25 lakh fine on three builders who failed to complete their projects within the specified deadlines. RERA also seized Rs 2.2 crore from six developers for violating registration rules.
