Gurugram : The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HARERA), Gurugram has taken suo moto cognizance under Section 35 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 against M/s Nitara Projects Limited for alleged violations of statutory provisions, particularly Section 3(1) of the Act, which mandates prior registration of real estate projects with the Authority. The proceedings were initiated following observations that the promoter has been developing, advertising, marketing, and selling residential floors without obtaining mandatory registration under the Act.
The Authority has observed that M/s Nitara Projects Limited used promotional materials and advertisements without disclosing essential details mandated under the Act, including the RERA registration number, the Authority’s website, and the DTCP license number. As soon as it came to the notice of the Authority, the Authority issued a show cause notice dated 16.04.2026. However, despite the due process of service, no reply was received during the hearing held on 11.05.2026.
Taking a serious view of this lapse on the part of the promoter, the Authority has decided to grant a final opportunity to the promoter to show cause as to why penal action be not taken against him under the relevant section of the Act for this serious violation. The Authority further directed that failure on the part of the promoter to appear before the Authority on the next date of hearing i.e., 08.06.2026 and file reply will attract ex-parte proceedings against the developer, which may attract stringent penalty and penal action.
The Authority has taken a serious note of a situation wherein a developer, after purchasing plots in licensed colonies, are individually constructing and selling residential floors without project registration, thereby circumventing regulatory oversight. HARERA has reiterated that such practices are in clear violation of the Act. In an Advisory to the Public HARERA strongly advises homebuyers and investors to:
* Verify the registration status of projects on the official HARERA website before making any booking or investment.
* Exercise due diligence, as investment in unregistered projects is undertaken at the buyer’s own risk, cost, and consequences and may deprive you from the reliefs granted under the RERA Act.
THE AUTHORITY REMAINS COMMITTED TO ENSURING TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND PROTECTION OF CONSUMER INTERESTS IN THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR.
