Approved building plan must for registrations in state
The State government has decided not to register properties such as
houses, flats and any other building structures if the owners fail to
submit building plans approved by corporations, municipalities and other
urban local bodies.
The State Government will soon amend the
Registration Act. Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy gave the nod to the
Andhra Pradesh Registration and Stamps Department to incorporate a
clause on mandatory submission of building plans approved by the
corporations, municipalities and other urban local bodies.
The
Chief Minister, who held a meeting with various departments on the issue
of coordination, was requested by the officials of the Greater
Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to direct the Registration and
Stamps Department not to register properties if owners failed to submit
building plans.
The Chief Minister also directed the Discoms and
the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB)
to implement GO 168, which prohibits power and water supply to
unapproved plans and illegal layouts.
The government is also
contemplating mortgage clause for individual residential constructions
up to 200 sq. metres of plot size. Previously, it has exempted them
from the 10 pc mortgage clause. It was found that a majority of illegal
constructions have come up in less than 200 sq. metre plots.
