The board not only issued challans and show-cause notices for both new and old violations but also recovered ₹75.20 crore from defaulters of small flats during the past four financial years.

The figures were presented by CHB officials during a meeting with Punjab governor and UT administrator Gulab Chand Kataria on Thursday. Between 2022 and 2025, the board issued 703 challans for fresh violations and 250 show-cause notices in pending cases.

As a result, many allottees lost their allotted units. Most of the cancelled small flats were located in Dhanas, Sector 38 (West), and adjoining areas. The primary reasons cited for cancellation were violation of rules, breach of allotment conditions and misuse of properties. Of the eviction notices issued, 55 units were actually vacated.
