Faridabad, March 13

In all, 385 residents of BPTP Ltd in Sector 84 here have been awaiting occupation certificate of their flats for the past 22 months though they have paid all dues.

“We have been running from pillar to post for the certificate, but without success. Both builder and Town and Country Planning Department claim that the issue on their side stands clear,” said Awnindra Tiwari , president of the RWA of the Park Elite Premium Society.

“The licence of the project (BPTP Park Elite Premium Society) expired and the failure or delay to deposit the EDC and the IDC has held up the issuance of occupancy certificate,” it is claimed in the complaint lodged by the RWA with the authorities.

The RWA has also claimed that all unit holders (flat owners) have already deposited the EDC and the IDC with the builder. “The families are in a catch-22 situation, as they cannot get their properties registered to become owners, till they get the certificate,” it is stated in a letter written to the Director General, Town and Country Planning, and the Deputy Chief Minister, who is also the Chairperson of the District Grievances Committee.

Rohit Mohan, vice-president of the BPTP group, said:“We have complied with all conditions and are awaiting the occupancy certificates from the department.”
