Property registration is essential for granting buyers legal ownership of their homes. However, in Noida and Greater Noida, thousands of homeowners have taken possession of their apartments but are still unable to register them. This issue has led to repeated protests, particularly on weekends, with residents demanding government intervention.
The complexity of the situation is further compounded by the fact that much of the land in the region is on leasehold, allotted by local authorities. In many cases, residents are also pushing for freehold conversion to secure clear ownership rights.
The minister of state (Independent Charge) for Stamp and Court Fee, Registration, explained to PTI that once an NOC is issued to a builder by the Noida, Greater Noida, or Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authorities, the registry department immediately processes registrations for homebuyers.
“In Gautam Buddh Nagar, there are three local development authorities that allot land to builders after collecting dues and passing project layouts. The dispute arises when builders fail to obtain an NOC due to pending payments or compliance issues with these authorities,” Jaiswal said.
Without this certificate, registries cannot be carried out. However, the moment a builder comes with the NOC, the department ensures registration without delay. Jaiswal reiterated that the registration department has no role in holding up the process and is fully prepared to issue registries immediately once the required clearances are in place.
This issue has been a significant concern for property buyers, as it affects their legal rights and the value of their investments. The minister's statement provides a clear path forward, emphasizing the importance of compliance and the readiness of the department to facilitate the registration process once the necessary clearances are obtained.
