Mumbai Society Faces ₹35 Crore Penalty Over Occupancy Certificate
Imagine a big apartment building that wasn't completely built legally.
The people living there, about 62 families, now have to pay a big fine, about ₹35 crore!
This is because the building was built bigger than it was supposed to be.
Also, the building didn't have all the necessary safety checks.
The residents of the top floors had to move out after a court order because the building wasn't approved.
The city officials are making sure that buildings follow all the rules for safety, which is why the fine is so high.
This means the building needs to pay up to get permission to be a safe place to live.
Willingdon View CHS residents face a ₹35 crore penalty for lacking a full Occupancy Certificate.
The penalty includes charges for exceeding FSI and additional parking.
Violations were discovered in 2022, leading to a court case.
Residents of the top floors were evicted due to lack of clearances.
The penalty is part of new rules meant to enforce building safety.
