Hey there, folks! Big news for residents looking to regularize their houses in Maharashtra. The state government has introduced a new Amnesty Scheme that will cut fees by a whopping 50%. Let’s break it down for you in plain and simple terms:
1. Previously, the government extended the deadline for regularizing houses built before 2001, now including those built up to December 31, 2020 under the Gunthewari Act. But high fees were a major deterrent for many residents.
2. Civic rights groups, led by activist Sudhir Kulkarni, have been pushing for fee reductions for a while now. Finally, the state’s Urban Development Department granted PMRDA permission to set its own rates in October 2021.
3. The proposal was approved in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. But residents wanted more relief, leading PMRDA to introduce the Amnesty Scheme, slashing fees by an additional 50%.
4. So, what’s the deal with the scheme? Well, if you have a plot with a building constructed without prior approval, you can now regularize it under the scheme. The development fee is calculated at INR 1,000 per square foot, making the process more affordable.
5. The scheme will be in effect until May 31, 2025. Any proposals submitted during this period will benefit from the 50% discount.
6. Public Relations Officer Dr. Dnyaneshwar Bhale stressed the importance of the scheme, stating that it aims to provide financial relief to residents within PMRDA’s jurisdiction.
So, if you’ve been putting off regularizing your house due to high fees, now’s the time to take advantage of the Amnesty Scheme. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to save some serious cash!
