MOHALI: The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Rera), Punjab, has instructed the Mohali deputy commissioner to recover ₹25,89,659 from the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (Gmada), designating it as a judgment debtor for not providing timely possession of a plot auctioned in IT City back in 2016.
The directive, issued under Section 40 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, empowers Rera to collect dues as arrears of land revenue. A formal Recovery Certificate has been dispatched to the Deputy Commissioner for enforcement.
The complainant, Amandeep, a resident of Chandigarh’s Sector 21-A, stated that he bought a 256-sq-yard plot in the 2016 IT City auction, with possession initially promised in 2017. “Gmada delayed possession and only completed final numbering in 2020. Our compensation petition was approved in February 2025, but Gmada still has not complied and is now regarded as a judgment defaulter,” he explained.
Rera highlighted that Gmada failed to adhere to its directions issued on February 28, 2025, during complaint proceedings under Section 31 of the Act. After Gmada’s non-compliance, the complainant filed an execution application. On October 14, 2025, Rera directed Gmada to pay ₹25,89,659 in execution proceedings.
According to Section 40 of the Act and Rule 24 of the Punjab State Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017, any sum owed as interest, penalty, or compensation is recoverable as arrears of land revenue.
Given Gmada’s ongoing default, Rera has requested the Mohali DC to begin recovery actions against Gmada’s assets in accordance with the law. The Recovery Certificate includes Jamabandi and Farad documents of the project land to facilitate the attachment and recovery process.
