Floor-wise regularisation of properties
North Delhi’s residents can soon apply for floor-wise
regularisation of their properties pending a formal sanction by the
civic administration. On Wednesday, North Delhi Municipal Corporation’s
Standing Committee passed a resolution to commence regularisation of
illegal constructions which conform to the Master Plan 2021.
The
resolution initiated by Deputy Chairman of the Standing Committee Vijay
Prakash Pandey is a bid towards enhancing revenue for the North
Corporation. “Several property owners have expanded their floor space
exceeding the floor area ratio (FAR) approved under the previous Master
Plan 2001. By sanctioning the illegal expansions that now fall under the
new FAR approved by the Master Plan 2021, the Corporation can earn
revenues up to Rs.1500 crore,” he said.
Leader of
Opposition Mukesh Goel said applications for sanctions can be submitted
along with the building layout plans. “Upon paying a regularisation fee,
residents can get their properties authorised. This will benefit
citizens and increase revenue collection of the Corporation,” he added.
The Standing Committee has proposed that the deadline to get the building layout plan regularised should be December this year.
