Public Notice

for the Homebuyers of Unitech Group

1. 1.

   It is informed that the new Management appointed by the Union of India, with the prior approval of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, vide its order dated 20.01.2020, had decided to interact with all its homebuyers only through electronic mode, since it is manually not possible to communicate with thousands of homebuyers in physical mode. Further, taking note of the fact that the contact details furnished by the Homebuyers at the time of booking their Units may have become obsolete over the years, the Management created a facility on its website under the tab Contact updations on the Homepage to enable the Homebuyers to update their contact details. Public notices have been uploaded on the website from time to time requesting the Homebuyers to update their contact details on the website.

2. 2.

   The idea is to create Email Groups and WhatsApp Groups of the Homebuyers of each project so that any development can be communicated to the concerned. As such, it is critical that we have the latest Address, Email ID and the Mobile No. of the concerned Homebuyer updated in the system at all times.

3. 3.

   However, it is a matter of serious concern that only 9,609 homebuyers, out of a total of 16,450, have so far updated their contact details in the system. As a result, we still have about 7,000 odd Homebuyers who have to update their contact details. As a result of this, it is becoming increasingly difficult to reach out to such Homebuyers. As a matter of fact, it also raises a question about the existence of any such Homebuyer.

4. 4.

   Accordingly, the homebuyers are once again requested through this Public Notice published in various newspapers to update their Contact Details and other particulars, on the Company’s web-portal (https://connect.unitechgroup.com) or visit the tab under Contact Updation in the Company’s website (https://www.unitechgroup.com) on or before 30th November, 2024. In case of any difficulty, they may either visit the Unitech office or contact Mr. Tanmoy Prasad, General Manager, IT Division at his email id tanmoy.prasad@unitechgroup.com

5. 5.

   It is made clear that the homebuyers who still fail to update their Contact Details on or before 30th November, 2024, the Management may be left with no option but to take recourse to cancellation of allotment of their respective Residential and/ or Commercial Units without any further notice along with forfeiture of the consideration amount paid by them. In subsequence thereto, the new Management may also contemplate to initiate the due process under the provisions of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988 and the rules made thereunder.

Details of the Refund Seeking Homebuyers of Unitech Group

Public Notice

1. 1.

   This is in continuation of the Public Notices dated 06.11.2023, 19.12.2023 and 03.05.2024 uploaded on the website of the Company for the Homebuyers of Unitech Projects for the change of Option from Refund to Possession. These notices, along with all the relevant facts and background on the subject contained in the last notice dated May 03,2024, are still available on the website and can be accessed/ referred by the concerned Homebuyers.

2. 2.

   Having gone through this process in accordance with the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court issued from time to time, we find that a total of 12,130 Homebuyers had registered themselves on the portal, out of which 4,576 Homebuyers had opted for Refund on the Amicus’ Portal created pursuant to the directions contained in the Hon’ble Supreme Court Order dated 15th September 2017 and 21st September 2017. A total of 1,954 Homebuyers have changed their option from Refund to Possession pursuant to the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court issued vide its orders dated 17.08.2021 and thereafter vide its orders dated 03.11.2023 till the last date i.e. 31.05.2024.

3. 3.

   As a result of the above, we have a total of 1,657 Homebuyers, who have not changed their options during the period granted for the purpose. The details of these Refund Seeking Homebuyers are being uploaded on the website through 03 Lists as under:

Sr. No.	List No.	No. of Homebuyers	Description
(i)	List-1	1473	Contains the details of Homebuyers who had opted for Refund and who continue with their Refund Option as on 01.06.2024
(ii)	List - 2	102	Homebuyers who had availed of partial refunds, changed their option from Refund to Possession but not repaid the partially refunded amount. Hence, such homebuyers have been treated as Refund Seeking Homebuyers.
(iii)	List-3	82	Homebuyers of Anthea Floors Project, Gurugram who opted for Possession but not submitted their consent for Revised Building Plans and the Additional Costs, which was a critical requirement. Hence, such Homebuyers have been treated as Refund Seeking Homebuyers.
	Total	1657

4. 4.

   Though every care has been taken that all such Homebuyers who had changed their options from Refund to Possession are duly treated as the Possession seeking Homebuyers, the possibility of missing out any name cannot be ruled out. As such, these lists, which contain the Project-wise details of Refund seeking Homebuyers, are being uploaded so as to give an opportunity to the Homebuyers to point out if they have at any stage communicated their change of option, along with the attendant conditions, within the given timelines. The Management is not in a position to extend the date for Change in Option any further on its own accord as the unsold inventory cannot be kept open-ended.

5. 5.

   In case any Homebuyer, included in the lists now uploaded on the portal, claims that he/ she had changed his/ her option which has not been considered, such Homebuyer may escalate the issue along with supporting document i.e. the email vide which such change of option was communicated to the Company/ Management on the dedicated email ID refundtopossession@unitechgroup.com before 31.05.2024 to the email ID, changeofoption@unitechgroup.com within a period of 30 days i.e. by or before 15.10.2024. This is the final opportunity for any corrections in these lists.

Updation of Contact details and Payment of Due Amount

Dear Homebuyers,

We have received emails from various Homebuyers seeking updates on the commencement of construction on various projects in respect of which contracts have been awarded. We are in the process of evolving a system whereby we would be uploading the status of important milestones, on a periodical basis on the website. It should be possible to do so by the end of February 2024. It will be under the Tab “Status updates on Projects” on the Homepage. A homebuyer would be able to see the latest update by clicking on the drop down menu – (a) Location, (b) Project and then (c) Sub-project.

I also take this opportunity to share some road-blocks that we are facing and which can be easily addressed with your active help and cooperation. These are as under:

1. Customer Database – register on the “Contact Updation”

1. (i)

   As per our database, there are a total of about 16,450 Homebuyers, comprising 14,936 residential units and 1,514 commercial Units, across all projects to whom possession of Units is to be delivered after completion. Pursuant to the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its order dated 15.09.2017 about 12,130 Homebuyers had registered themselves on the portal developed by the Amicus Curiae, which has also become dated and obsolete. As 01.02.2024, we have the contact updates (Address, email ID and Mobile Nos.) of only about 7,595 Homebuyers. As a result, we are finding it extremely difficult to effectively reach out to all the Homebuyers.

Hence, the request to all the Homebuyers is to kindly update their contact details on the Unitech portal using the Tab “Contact Updation”
2. (ii)

   It has been experienced that individual emails are being sent by a large number of Homebuyers for contact updations rather than doing the same through the system developed for the purpose. The IT team has been assisting a good number of them who face any difficulty in operating through the system. Typically, the errors are on account of mismatches with the customer database of Unitech, which is based on the data inputs on the Allotment Letters, be it your name, Customer Code, your Unit Identity or other fields. Hence, it is advisable that you keep the copy of your Allotment Letter by your side when you are updating your contact details. This would help minimise any problems.

2. Timely Payment of Instalments of the Balance Dues

1. (i)

   The Homebuyers are required to make payment of the balance dues in quarterly instalments as per the Revised Payment Plan in terms of the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its order dated 03.11.2023 (order available on the website). The Management has decided to raise demands from the Homebuyers of only such projects (excluding Noida based Projects) where the Contracts have been awarded. The due date of payment of the First instalment was 10.01.2024.

Hence, the request to all the Homebuyers is to kindly update their contact details on the Unitech portal using the Tab “Contact Updation”
2. (ii)

   It is disturbing to Note that as against the due amount of Rs. 97.35 Crore as on 10.01.2024, we have received payment of only an amount of Rs. 27.40 Crore (i.e. 28.15%) as on 31.01.2024. Here also, the payments vary across the projects. For instance, in the case of Greater Noida based 05 projects, where a total of 1222 Units are to be completed and delivered to the Homebuyers, all contracts have been awarded, the contractors have mobilised at sites and works have commenced. The works in the case of Habitat project would be commenced only after the Environmental Clearance is received, which is expected shortly. However, against the amount of Rs. 17.94 Crore due for payment on 10.01.2024, the Homebuyers of Greater Noida projects have paid an amount of Rs. 1.81 Crore only (i.e. 10.09%).

3. (iii)

   All the Homebuyers, we are sure, would appreciate that it will not be possible for us to carry on with the construction activities if the cash-flows from the Homebuyers are short of the due amounts.

Chairman & Managing Director

Dated: 12.12.2023
