Under the self-certification policy issued in November last year, the architects were empowered to issue occupation certificates (OC) following which they had to submit the file at the office of district town planner.
The homeowners have a week to respond to the notice, after which the department of town and country planning (DTCP) can cancel their occupation certificates (OCs) if the replies are found to be inadequate.
The authorities have issued show-cause notices to 18 properties for undertaking unauthorized construction or establishing illicit commercial ventures without the correct permissions. Under the current system, the department can cancel Occupation Certificates granted to these properties if they are found to be unsatisfactory. This move follows the recent crackdown on the multitude of illegal commercial activities happening within residential and licensed colonies in Gurgaon.
