Delhi to make NOC mandatory for L&DO property registration

12 Jul 2022 CW Team

The Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry has directed the Delhi government’s revenue department not to register any Land and Development Office (L&DO) property without a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the department, a move that will impact high-value transactions in Lutyens’ Delhi. Most of the properties in Lutyens’ Delhi fall under the L&DO and are leasehold properties.

The buyer is required to pay conversion charges and property tax, and in many cases, these charges were not being paid, leading to intervention by the ministry.

According to the letter written by the L&DO, a department under the housing and urban affairs ministry, there are around 57,389 residential, 1,597 commercial, 1,430 institutional and 110 industrial units under the jurisdiction of the department in Delhi.

“No L & DO property-leasehold/freehold shall be registered by sub-registrars without obtaining the NOC from L&DO as these may be under prohibitory list, be re-entered property or being the ones under litigation,” Rajeev Kumar Das, deputy land and development officer, said in his letter to the Delhi government’s revenue department.
