Residents of Sushant Lok 1, 2 and 3 in Gurugram have sought a special one-time composition policy from the Haryana government to regularise minor and technical deviations in residential buildings. The proposal is aimed at providing relief to thousands of homeowners who could face enforcement action over relatively small building-code violations. The deviations cited include covered cut-out areas and marginal variations in front and rear setbacks. According to the reported proposal, regularising such deviations could also generate around INR 40 crore in revenue for the Haryana government. The demand comes amid growing concerns among homeowners over the legal and property-related consequences of building deviations in established residential colonies. The proposed policy would be limited to minor violations rather than major or structural breaches.
Residents of Sushant Lok 1, 2 and 3 in Gurugram have approached the Haryana government seeking a one-time composition policy to regularise minor building violations in the three established residential colonies. The proposal, reported on Friday, seeks relief for thousands of homeowners facing the possibility of enforcement action over technical deviations, including covered cut-out areas and marginal variations in front and rear setbacks.
The proposed policy would provide a mechanism for homeowners to regularise eligible deviations by paying the applicable composition charges. The request is focused on minor and technical violations rather than major breaches of building regulations, with residents seeking a defined one-time window through which qualifying properties could be brought into compliance.
Covered cut-out areas have been identified among the deviations for which regularisation is being sought. Minor variations from prescribed front and rear setbacks have also been included in the proposal. Such deviations can create difficulties for homeowners when properties are subjected to enforcement proceedings or when owners need to address documentation and compliance issues associated with their buildings.
The proposal is significant for Sushant Lok 1, 2 and 3 because the colonies comprise a large number of established residential properties. Homeowners facing action over building deviations could otherwise be required to address the violations individually, depending on the nature of the construction and the applicable regulations.
The proposed one-time relief mechanism could also provide a revenue opportunity for the state government. Reports indicate that regularisation of the minor deviations covered by the proposed policy could generate around INR 40 crore for Haryana.
The demand comes amid wider concerns over enforcement against building deviations in Gurugram’s established residential areas. For homeowners, the issue extends beyond the immediate question of construction compliance, as unresolved deviations can affect the legal status and future transactions involving residential properties.
The proposal calls for the Haryana government to adopt a specific composition framework for Sushant Lok 1, 2 and 3, rather than relying solely on individual enforcement measures. If accepted, such a policy would establish the categories of minor deviations eligible for regularisation, the charges applicable to them and the process homeowners would need to follow.
The request remains a plea at this stage, and the reported material does not indicate that the Haryana government has approved the proposed policy. The issue is therefore awaiting a decision from the state authorities on whether a one-time regularisation mechanism will be introduced for the three Sushant Lok colonies.
