Convert Noida leasehold rights to freehold
The Issue
As a proud homeowner in Noida, I worked hard and invested a significant amount to purchase my flat, only to face a disheartening reality. Despite having paid hefty sums for the flat and the associated stamp duty, what I received was not a fair exchange. Instead of gaining full ownership through a Sale Deed, I was provided only with a Sub-Lease Deed, leaving me with leasehold rights rather than the freehold rights that were promised and deserved.
This is not just my struggle but a common plight faced by many residents of Noida who find themselves unfairly bound by the Noida Authority's policies. These policies impose stamp duty similar to that of a Sale Deed, creating a false impression of property ownership. Yet, in reality, the property remains under leasehold, which limits our rights as owners.
The difference between leasehold and freehold is not just a matter of paperwork—it fundamentally affects the security and the autonomy over the property that one can exercise. Freehold rights would allow homeowners to truly benefit from their investment without needing approval from any authority for future developments or transactions involving the property. It grants permanent ownership, unlike leasehold where homeowners feel restricted and apprehensive about the future of their living space.
We, the residents and property owners of Noida, deserve more than conditional rights. We deserve the security and absolute ownership that come with freehold rights. The injustice of providing sub-lease titles needs to be addressed, corrected, and made fair.
The solution is clear and attainable: The Noida Authority must begin the process of converting leasehold properties into freehold. This shift will not only fulfill the expectations and promises made during the sale but also align with the democratic principles of property rights. It will protect homeowners from any uncertainty regarding their property's future and remove any barriers for improvement or sale.
Join me in urging the Noida Authority to recognize the rightful ownership of its residents. Sign this petition to pave the way for transparent, fair, and rightful recognition of freehold rights, aligning Noida's property laws with the aspirations and expectations of its citizens. Together, we can make our voices heard and bring about a necessary change.
