Compulsory For UP Developers To Tag Projects With GIS-based Master Plans

The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) will soon make it mandatory for developers to tag the maps of their projects with the Geographic Information System (GIS)-based master plans in 13 major cities across the state. This move is meant to check whether the upcoming project is on a bona fide site as claimed by the developer and not on government or any illegally occupied land. The regulatory authority will also set up a mechanism in collaboration with banks to make sure that a promoter uses 70 per cent of the fund for completion of the project. This provision will also be for stalled projects that are restarted by UP RERA.
