The Noida authority on Sunday said that it has decided to cancel allotment of plots whose owners failed to remove unauthorised constructions despite repeated warnings and reminders.The authority’s chief executive officer (CEO) Lokesh M took the decision on Friday while presiding over a review meeting, said officials.

All departments have been instructed to compile and maintain records of notices issued under Section 10 for encroachments in buildings across Noida and to monitor compliance regularly, they said.

If Section 10 notice is issued against a property, the owner cannot sell it until this notice is removed.

To be sure, Section 10 notice means the owner has violated the terms of the lease deed, and thus it will have to face the consequences including cancellation of the allotment, penalty and the property will become ineligible for mortgage. It means the owner of the property can not seek a bank loan if this notice is issued against a property.

The authority’s additional chief executive officer has been asked to examine notices issued in the last two years and, where allottees did not comply, to reissue the Section 10 notice.

“If non-compliance continues, the allotment of the said plots will be cancelled. We have also directed that in cases where the allottee does not receive notices, they must be physically pasted on the concerned property to ensure communication,” said the CEO.
