The details of such flats shall be displayed on the website of the Authority, before the start of any transaction, including marketing. The promoter shall be entitled to sell retained flats in each of the building only after the receipt of the occupation certificate or building completion certificate from the local authority for that building.
It will be the responsibility of the promoter to enter the record or details on the website of the housing regulatory authority. No order of cancellation of registration of the project shall be issued by the housing regulatory authority unless reasonable opportunity of being heard is given to the promoter.(More)
