● In the case of a building code infringement, the legal successor will be given six months to address the specific complaint before the transfer notice is issued.
No-Demand Certificate (NDC)
For the NDC, the following measures will be adopted:
● The issue of a No-Demand Certificate (NDC) for Estate Management-I and Estate Management-II will now take four days.
● In case of a legal complication, the allottee or applicant will promptly be notified as to why the NDC was not provided at their request.
