When the time to invest your hard-earned money comes, running a background check on the viable options to make an informed choice is the right way to go.

Development authorities across the country have become active under the supervision of the Supreme Court’s direct order to deconstruct any illegal real estate developments.

This has led to a wave of chaos in people who had invested in those projects, but unfortunately, no assistance is provided by the law in this regard.
Because of this, it is crucial to run a thorough check on the housing society, apartment or any real estate project you are eyeing to invest in.

To ease the decision-making of investors in this regard, development authorities like CDA have released an official list of approved and legal housing societies which you can go for.  

Graana.com brings you a detailed list of CDA approved housing societies that are a great option for you to invest and live in without any uncertainty and legal scares.

 

Why Do You Need to Check NOC for Housing Societies?

If you’re a real estate investor or looking for a plot to build your house, you need to know that illegal housing schemes can be deconstructed anytime as per the order of the court. 

To avoid such unfortunate situations in the future, you need to be aware of the housing scheme you’re considering has proof of acquired NOC. 

Non-Obligation Certificate (NOC) is proof of legal permission that is given by the development authority of an area. This means that the government will supervise the project to be delivered in time, as long as it is legally approved according to the master plan.
