It is worth mentioning that Section (20) (3) of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act (PAPRA) 1995 says that no Registrar or Sub-Registrar appointed under the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908, shall register sale deed or any other document regarding sale of land or plot or building situated in a colony, in respect of which NOC has not been obtained from the competent authority.
Taking cognizance that the landowners were finding it difficult to get their land registered due to provisions of Section (20) (3) of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act (PAPRA) 1995, which mandated to obtain NOC for selling the land, plot or building situated in an unlicensed colony, now, Housing & Urban Development Department has exempted the landowners from getting issued any NOC before registration of revenue land of rural areas, the Minister added.
A notification has been issued in this regard, informed Principal Secretary Housing and Urban Development Ajoy Kumar Sinha while making it clear that the rest of the provisions of the Act shall remain enforced.
