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.
