actions against against professionals (both PoR and EP) suspension or

based on complaint received, after hearing the Professional and recording the

proceedings and decision taken.

(12) Restriction on Change of Empanelled Professional:No Empanelled

Professional (EP) shall be substituted during the course of construction

without prior written approval of the Municipal Commissioner. Any change

effected without such approval shall render all certifications issued thereafter

invalid.

(12.1). Permissible Grounds for Change:A change of EP shall be

permitted only where one of the following grounds is established, with the

burden of proof lying on the applicant seeking the substitution. The

permissible grounds are,-

(a) Death or permanent incapacity;

(b) Resignation with recorded reasons;

(c) Proven conflict of interest;

(d) Suspension, cancellation, or blacklisting by the Authority;

(e) Persistent non-performance established after notice; and

(f) Mutual consent, subject to technical audit and Authority approval,

mutual consent shall not constitute extraordinary circumstances for

the purpose of a second substitution.

25

(13) Mandatory Procedure for Substitution:

(13.1) Application for Change:The Owner or Promoter shall submit a

formal written application to the Municipal Commissioner / Chief Officer

before effecting any change. The application shall state the grounds for

substitution and shall be accompanied by a stage-wise construction status

report, copies of all certifications issued by the outgoing EP, an

undertaking by the Owner/Promoter accepting responsibility for any

disclosed deviations, and the written consent of the incoming EP. Where

the outgoing EP fails to cooperate in the handover process, the Authority

shall issue a notice and proceed further after according the EP a

reasonable opportunity of being heard.

(13.2) Technical Audit: Before granting approval for substitution, the

Authority shall either conduct a site inspection or appoint an independent

EP to carry out a technical audit. The audit shall record the structural

integrity of the completed works, the extent of construction carried out,

any deviations from the sanctioned plan, and overall compliance with

safety requirements. Approval for substitution shall be granted only after

the audit findings have been recorded in writing and any required remedial

actions have been addressed.

(14) Fixation of Liability:

(14.1) Liability of Outgoing EP:The outgoing EP shall remain fully liable

for all certifications issued during his or her tenure including liability for

structural and statutory compliance up to the last certified stage, for

failure to report discernible deviations, and for any negligent or false

certification. This liability survives substitution and may extend to

disciplinary, civil, or criminal proceedings as the circumstances warrant.

(14.2) Liability of Incoming EP:Before issuing any certification, the

incoming EP shall conduct an independent verification of all works

executed up to the date of appointment and shall submit a structural

stability certificate to the Authority. Any visible violations or deviations

shall be reported to the Authority in writing 'within a period to be specified

in the substitution approval order, subject to a minimum of 7 and a

maximum of 30 working days, based on the stage of construction. The

incoming EP shall be liable for all certifications issued after the date of

approval of the substitution and for failure to report violations that a

diligent professional ought to have identified.

(14.3) Joint Liability: Joint and several liabilities shall arise where both

the outgoing and incoming EPs fail to detect or report material deviations,

where a Completion Certificate is issued without due diligence by either

party, or where a structural defect is attributable to an overlapping period

of supervision. In such cases the Authority shall proceed against both

professionals.

26

(15) Substitution at Completion / Occupancy Stage: No change of EP

shall be permitted after submission of the Completion Certificate, except in

cases of fraud, proven misrepresentation, or suspension of the EP by the

Authority.Where substitution is permitted at this stage, a mandatory

structural audit shall be conducted, a fresh compliance report shall be

submitted by the incoming EP, and the Occupancy Certificate shall be issued

only after independent verification by the Authority.

(15.1) Limitation on Number of Changes:No project shall ordinarily be

permitted more than one substitution of EP during construction, except

under extraordinary circumstances recorded in writing by the Authority.

(15.2) Financial Consequences:Where substitution arises due to

professional misconduct, the Authority may forfeit the EP's Security

Deposit in whole or in part, impose a monetary penalty of up to rupees two

lakhs, and simultaneously proceed to suspend or cancel the empanelment.

Where the substitution is without fault on the part of the outgoing EP, the

Security Deposit shall not be adversely affected.

(16) Protection against Evasion of Liability:A change of EP shall not

regularize unauthorized construction, extinguish the liability of the outgoing

EP for works certified during tenure, validate unreported deviations, or

interfere with ongoing disciplinary proceedings. Any attempt to use the

substitution mechanism as a device to evade liability shall be treated as

aggravating conduct and shall attract the maximum penalty available under

the applicable municipal laws.

(17) Opportunity of Hearing: No penalty, suspension, or cancellation of

empanelment shall be imposed without issuing a show-cause notice to the

professional, providing a reasonable opportunity of reply and hearing, and

passing a speaking order recording findings and reasons in writing.

(18) Appeal:Any person aggrieved by an order under these regulations may

prefer an appeal in Form-VIIDbefore the Deputy Commissioner within thirty

days from the date of receipt of the order.
