The action stems from 83 FIRs filed by the Uttar Pradesh Police after home-buyers complained that two township projects on Sultanpur Road and Raebareli Road were not developed as promised, nor were refunds provided.

A pilot in Laxmi Nagar revealed 2,000 new properties and 7,000 with unrecorded structural or usage changes, highlighting gaps in the existing system. The new survey will focus solely on built-up properties, combining AI mapping with door-to-door verification to assess real-time changes. With property tax arrears exceeding INR 900 crore, the initiative aims to enhance revenue, ensure fair valuations, and promote transparency in urban governance. The survey rollout is expected early next financial year.Read more

The move addresses long-standing grievances from home-buyers awaiting refunds or possession. A recovery cell had previously been formed under the revenue department, but progress was slow due to procedural delays. Police involvement is expected to streamline enforcement, strengthen regulatory compliance, and send a clear signal that non-adherence to RERA orders will invite strict action, reinforcing transparency in Karnataka's real estate sector.Read more
