Well, since no construction of flat in colony land requires sanctioned plan getting bank loan is not permissible.In all the colony area land which is built by RR department of wb government there is an embargo on sale by the donee within specified time as mentioned in the gift deed.

Please note that since it is built in colony land getting bank loan might be difficult. You need to verify how the land came into possession of builder and whether he has paid up to date tax. Then you require to check whether he has title free from encumbrances and also possession certificate. Better to get consulted by local lawyer of your state since the procedure varies from state to state. If ownership is clear you can get the property registered in your name and mutated.

2. Have they received the sanction of the construction plan? If yes, the it signifies that they are now eligible to sale the land or make construction thereupon.

3. However, completion certificate is required to be obtained by the builder before giving you possession of the said flat and register te title deed in your favour.

The land allotted as gift to the allottee shall be with conditions imposed in it restricting the sale of the same.

The property cannot be sold to outsiders.

The time limit for construction and selling the same shall be notified in the allotment letter itself.

You may better refer the matter with copies of the relevant documents to a local lawyer and then decide about going ahead.

CC and possession certificate is important and it is received after the construction is complete.

If in the gift deed it was mentioned that after 20 years they can sell to any other party then they can sell it.

GST will be charged as per rule.
