🔒 Important Compliance Notes
To ensure smooth, legal, and responsible ownership of properties allotted through HSVP (formerly HUDA) e-auctions, successful bidders must follow specific compliance requirements and regulatory frameworks. Here’s a breakdown of the key points:
🏛️ 1. Adherence to HSVP Policies, Local Building Codes & Zoning Regulations
HSVP Development Policies:
All allottees are bound by the policies and guidelines framed by HSVP related to land use, development controls, construction timelines, and permissible structures.
For example:Residential plots must be used only for residential purposes.
Commercial or industrial use must adhere to the specific zoning of the plot and surrounding area.
Local Building Bye-Laws:
All construction must comply with the Haryana Building Code and relevant municipal building bye-laws. This includes:Floor area ratio (FAR) limits
Setbacks from boundaries
Height restrictions
Parking space requirements
Zoning Regulations:
Plots in specific zones (residential, commercial, institutional, industrial) must be used accordingly. Unauthorized use or deviation from the zoning plan may lead to penalties, demolition, or cancellation.
🔁 2. No Subletting or Transfer Before Full Payment & Possession
Transfer Restrictions:
No allottee is permitted to sell, transfer, or assign the plot to another party until:100% of the bid amount (including interest, if paid in installments) has been paid
All required documentation is complete
Possession has been formally handed over by HSVP
Subletting Prohibited:
Subletting (renting out) the plot or constructed building before obtaining possession and full clearance is strictly prohibited. This helps prevent misuse of land and ensures that only genuine allottees benefit from government allotments.Exceptions/Special Permissions:
In rare and deserving cases (like family transfers, legal heir claims, or mergers in corporate cases), HSVP may allow early transfer or mutation, subject to prior approval and documentation.
🧾 3. GST, Stamp Duty & Other Government Taxes
Goods and Services Tax (GST):
Applicable GST (as per current government rates) is levied on commercial, industrial, and institutional plot allotments. Residential plots are generally exempt, but if purchased through a developer or involving construction services, GST may apply.Stamp Duty:
Payable at the time of execution and registration of the Conveyance Deed (sale deed). The rate depends on:The nature of the property (residential/commercial)
Location (urban/rural)
Type of buyer (female/male/firm)
Typically ranges between 5% to 8% of the property value, subject to state rules.
Other Charges:
Additional charges like mutation fees, external development charges (EDC), infrastructure development charges (IDC), and maintenance charges may also be applicable and must be paid as per HSVP’s instructions.
✅ Conclusion: Comprehensive Guidelines for Participation in HUDA/HSVP E-Auction
The HUDA (now HSVP) e-auction process offers a transparent and efficient method for allotting residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional plots across Haryana. By embracing a digital bidding platform, HSVP ensures inclusivity and fairness for a wide range of eligible participants, including individuals, firms, companies, NRIs, and government bodies.
However, participation comes with responsibilities. Bidders must strictly follow all rules and regulations—from registration and bidding to payment and possession. Successful allottees are required to comply with HSVP development policies, local building codes, zoning regulations, and financial obligations such as GST, stamp duty, and other applicable charges.
Subletting or transferring plots before full payment and possession is strictly prohibited unless expressly permitted under special circumstances. Construction on the allotted land must commence and complete within the specified timeline to avoid penalties or cancellation.
In essence, while the HSVP e-auction is a golden opportunity to acquire prime urban land, it demands full legal and procedural compliance. Understanding and adhering to these detailed guidelines not only protects your investment but also contributes to the orderly and sustainable development of Haryana’s urban infrastructure.
