DDA takes steps for speedy conversion of property
The Delhi Development Authority has been taking various
steps in order to ensure speedy disposal of conversion of property from
leasehold to freehold since February this year.
The
steps in this direction include setting up of Nagrik Suvidha Kendras and
monitoring online disposal of conversion applications.
The
DDA has opened Nagrik Suvidha Kendras in four zones of Delhi. These
centres were conceptualised in February and by the first week of June,
four of them were opened at Dwarka, Rohini, Laxmi Nagar and Vikas Sadan.
On
completion of 100 days of these centres, the DDA said they have been
working to the utmost satisfaction of the public and the disposal rate
has been very high as compared to earlier manual disposals. Around 3,800
applications for conversion were received during these 100 days and
2,000 conveyance deeds have been issued within the stipulated period
fixed under the Citizen Charter for disposal.
Besides,
special camps were organised in the Suvidha Kendras and more than 6,000
pending applications of conversion were also disposed leaving hardly
any case pending beyond 45 days, i.e., the time period given in the
Citizen Charter for disposal.
“At the Suvidha
Kendras, apart from conversion, mutation, mortgage permission, extension
of time in construction are also being expedited. Applicants on a visit
to Nagrik Suvidha Kendras are provided self-generated tokens and the
applicants are directed to designated counters where application is
scrutinised on the spot, challan generated and all formalities
completed. The advantage of these Kendras is that applications both
online and offline are received. The pendency officer-wise is
periodically generated to assess the disposal rate,” DDA Vice-Chairman
Balvinder Kumar said.
Mr. Kumar has been personally monitoring the pendency.
The
conversion form has also been simplified and the number of documents
required to be submitted by the applicant have been reduced to
facilitate conversion with ease and speed.
Previously,
many conversion applications were pending for want of sanctioned
building plan or for want of NOC. All these requirements have been done
away with subject to certain conditions as notified from time to time.
