exceeding the amount of payment, it be refunded to the complainant as per rules. Violation of this order shall be punishable under the U.P.

On 10.01.2020 the applicant informed through the web portal that the promoter/opposite party had not complied with the order dated 04.06.2019, in consequence of which a notice was issued to the opposite party on 1801.2020 through Letter No.– 766/RERA/Compliance Notice/2019–20, informing them that they should ensure the compliance report was made available by 05.02.2020; but no compliance has been made by the opposite party and no compliance report has been made available either. The opposite party was again, on 18.06.2020, informed through a show cause notice (Letter No.– 3186/U.P.–RERA/2020–21) that they should ensure the compliance report was made available within 15 days; but no compliance has been made by the opposite party and no compliance report has been made available either.
