Elaborate in paragraphs with headings:
Builders must mention RERA registration number and portal in all future advertisements
Following the regulations, promoters and builders are required to mention the UP RERA registration number and its portal when advertising such projects. Lavish Buildmart Pvt. Ltd., however, failed to mention the RERA portal in their advertisement for their mixed land-use project, M3M The Cullinan, situated in Gautam Buddh Nagar. Although the registration number was included, the omission of the RERA portal led to the penalty being imposed.
Builders fined Rs. 1 lakh each
The penalised builders were involved in the promotion of several residential projects. Attractive Nirman Pvt. Ltd. was advertising its residential project, BCC Greens, while Basera City Developers promoted BCC Blue Mountain. Hallmark Vyapar Pvt. Ltd. was responsible for promoting BCC Sapphire, and Rajeev Son HUF advertised Wadhwa Palm Regency. All these projects are located in Lucknow and Agra districts.
The penalty amount of Rs. 1 lakh is considered a symbolic measure
It is worth mentioning that the penalty amount of Rs. 1 lakh is considered to be a symbolic measure. The RERA Act allows for penalties of up to 5 percent of the project cost. However, taking into consideration the circumstances, the authority decided on this amount.
