ED and Income Tax Scrutiny Puts Mohali Housing Projects Under Spotlight Buyers Advised to Stay Alert

MOHALI | July 13, 2026: Several residential housing projects in Mohali, including projects in New Chandigarh and Zirakpur, have reportedly come under the scanner of enforcement agencies. According to available information, records related to Change of Land Use (CLU) approvals are being examined as part of ongoing investigations.

The reported scrutiny has increased concerns among buyers, particularly those who are still awaiting possession of flats or plots in some of these projects.

 

Projects Under Regulatory Examination

Sources indicate that authorities have sought records related to CLU approvals issued over the past few years for selected housing projects.

The investigations are focused on examining project-related documentation and regulatory compliance. No final findings or conclusions have been announced by the concerned agencies at this stage.

 

Why Buyers Are Concerned

Many affected projects are reportedly those where buyers are still waiting for possession despite investing several years ago.

Whenever a project comes under regulatory scrutiny, homebuyers may face concerns such as:

  • Delay in project execution.
  • Delay in possession.
  • Uncertainty over approvals.
  • Slower administrative clearances.

The actual impact, however, depends on the outcome of the ongoing investigations and regulatory decisions.

 

 

Experts Advise Due Diligence

Real estate professionals advise prospective buyers to complete proper verification before investing in any under-construction property.

Key documents to verify include:

  • RERA registration.
  • CLU approval, wherever applicable.
  • Building plan approvals.
  • Land ownership records.
  • Construction progress.
  • Developer's delivery track record.

Verifying these documents can help buyers make better-informed investment decisions.

 

Market Sentiment May Be Affected

Industry observers believe that regulatory investigations can temporarily influence buyer sentiment in a local market.

However, the long-term performance of the market generally depends on:

  • Project completion.
  • Regulatory compliance.
  • Demand and supply.
  • Infrastructure growth.
  • Buyer confidence.

 

 

What Existing Buyers Should Do

Homebuyers who have already invested should:

  • Stay in contact with the developer.
  • Follow official updates issued by authorities.
  • Preserve all payment and allotment documents.
  • Seek professional legal advice if required.

 

Why It Matters

Regulatory scrutiny of real estate projects highlights the importance of legal due diligence before purchasing a property. Buyers who verify approvals, project status and developer credentials are generally better prepared to reduce investment-related risks.
