Noida : The long-pending issue of flat registrations in Noida and Gautam Buddh Nagar may now reach the Allahabad High Court, with Noida Highrise Federation (NHRF) president Nikhil Singhal announcing plans to take up the matter legally on behalf of affected highrise residents.
Residents have waited years for their flats to be registered, but repeated meetings and assurances from authorities have failed to deliver a concrete solution. People no longer want false promises. They want clear answers, a time-bound roadmap and results on the ground

NHRF collecting society-wise data
The NHRF has launched a society-wise data collection campaign to document pending registrations across high-rise societies. The federation is gathering details on the number of pending registrations, reasons for the delays, issues involving builders and authorities and cases where buyers have completed all required formalities.
According to the federation, the exercise aims to consolidate individual society-level grievances and present them collectively before the administration, government and, if required, the court.
Singhal questioned why homebuyers should bear the consequences of disputes between builders and authorities.
A family that has invested its life savings in a home, paid EMIs and other dues and has been living in that house for years should not have to wait indefinitely for ownership documents because of a dispute between the builder and the authority.

‘Registration is about ownership and security’
Singhal said property registration is not merely a legal document but is directly linked to a family’s ownership, investment and financial security.
He said the NHRF considers the issue a collective concern affecting thousands of highrise families across Noida and Gautam Buddh Nagar rather than a problem limited to individual societies.
While various policies and possible solutions have been discussed at the administrative level, the federation has questioned when these measures will translate into actual registrations for eligible homebuyers.
According to Singhal, a policy can only be considered successful if pending registrations actually begin and eligible families receive a clear timeline.
NHRF preparing for legal battle
The federation said it will compile documents, society-wise cases and other relevant facts before approaching the High Court so that a comprehensive case can be presented before the judiciary.
Singhal said the issue has repeatedly been raised with officials and that the time has now come to take the residents’ concerns to a legal forum.
With elections approaching, the NHRF has also made pending flat registrations a key demand for high-rise residents.
“Before the elections, people want clear answers — whose registration will happen when, why has it been delayed, who is responsible and what is the timeline for resolution,” Singhal said.
He added that residents would no longer accept only promises, meetings and assurances.
Metro and Noida Authority accountability also on agenda
Apart from flat registrations, the NHRF has identified the proposed Greater Noida West Metro and accountability of the Noida Authority as other major concerns for highrise residents.
Singhal said the millions of residents of Greater Noida West need a clear and time-bound roadmap for the metro project.
He also called for greater transparency and accountability in the functioning of the Noida Authority and timely resolution of civic issues faced by residents.
People in Noida and Gautam Buddh Nagar no longer want only election speeches. They want registration of their homes, a clear answer on the metro and accountability from the authority.

He clarified that the NHRF’s campaign is not directed against any individual or political party.
“Our fight is for the rights of Noida residents and a better future for them,” he said.
The federation said its campaign will remain non-political and resident-centric and that it will continue to raise the concerns of high-rise residents before the administration and, if necessary, the judiciary.
Now the voice of residents will not remain confined to the four walls of their societies. If required, the voice of high-rise residents will be taken from the streets to the court.
