Bablesh Kumar Garg had put all his hard-earned savings into buying an independent plot in Northeast Delhi’s Shahdara. When he went to register it on Tuesday, however, he was in for a shock as the sub-registrar office refused to carry out the process. The reason? The Real Estate Regulatory Authority had issued an order in September directing all sub-registrars in Delhi to not register any new property that does not conform to the Unified Building Bye Laws, 2016.
“The area where I bought the plot, entirely for residential purposes, is authorised… it has electricity, sewer, water connections, and other facilities. There are other houses here too. I’ve paid the previous owner… but without registration, they can claim the land is theirs,” said Garg.
