Naredco's Uttar Pradesh chapter President RK Arora has written a letter to Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, requesting him to direct the UP Chief Secretary to provide various relief measures.
The association has sought rescheduling of the land dues over a period of 3 to 5 years, after deducting the zero period entitlement without the condition of depositing upfront 25 per cent of the land dues, considering the severe liquidity crisis in the entire real estate sector.
Zero period means that there will be a waiver of interest and penalties on dues owed by developers to the government. Arora suggested that the authority could collect the land dues through an escrow account from receipts against sold receivables and new bookings.
The association also sought immediate registration/execution of sub-leases of residential towers, having occupancy certificates, in favour of the homebuyers. Naredco seeks an extension of time of 3 to 5 years for the completion of projects without any charges.
