PUNE: Citizens and prospective property buyers in Pimpri-Chinchwad will now be able to check details of all authorised properties, by which they would be able to avoid any possible financial losses. The details of the authorised properties and plots reserved in the development plan will be posted on the official website of the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).Municipal commissioner Shrikar Pardeshi on Friday said people, who have migrated from various parts of the country, now reside in the city and are purchasing houses.

"The common man is mostly unaware of the legalities of investing in real estate. As a result, if a person buys the property and if it turns out to be an unauthorised construction, the person stands to face loss. The PCMC is, therefore, preparing a list of authorised constructions which have been built in the city till now, and also those that are in construction stages," he said. The details will also be made available at citizen facilitation centres.The PCMC is also preparing a list of builders and developers who have constructed buildings without permission.

"We will not give building permission to such developers, builders and architects in the city in future to prevent the mushrooming of unauthorised constructions," Pardeshi said.The civic administration, he said, is also preparing a list of old unauthorised constructions which have minor violations of Development Control (DC) rules and can be regularised by paying some administrative charges. This information will be made public in a month. As a result, many unauthorised constructions in the city can be regularised and the common man will get some relief.
