Enough isn’t always sufficient, builders need more
Ludhiana, February 10
Even though the four-month window provided by the Punjab Government as a one-time degree to developers to get their unlawful/unlicensed colonies regularised below the brand new coverage is set to shut (on February 17, 2019), most developers, it seems, aren’t glad about the policy notified for this motive on October 18, 2018. They nevertheless need greater simplification and relaxations within the coverage and attribute the lukewarm reaction of builders (to the brand new policy) to procedural wrangles and cumbersome documentation.
In a memorandum submitted to the Punjab Housing and Urban Development Minister, Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa, the Punjab Colonisers and Property Dealers Association mentioned that due to pointless documentation, many builders were wary of coming forward for colony regularisation, and asset proprietors were additionally no longer very keen to avail of the policy benefits. Kultar Singh Jogi, president, and GS Lamba, general secretary of the association, stated that for compounding plots and houses, four sets of documents had been demanded at the same time as the builders needed to put up eight sets of files at the time of submission of software, which will be done away with.
“An unmarried set of documents for plots and homes ought to be enough as scanned copies could be despatched to unique branches for further motion. Similarly, a single set of files from builders can be taken. After verification with the aid of an equipped man or woman, more units be prepared, which would cause speedy processing of packages,” stated the memorandum.
Besides, the builders’ frame desired that during colonies where applications were pending/rejected under preceding policies, alternatives be taken from the builders regarding which coverage they want to head for as, in most cases, builders had already deposited the license rate, improvement, and CLU charges. For registration of sale deeds of plots and properties, receipt of full charge should be considered NOC because registration of sale deeds has been suspended for some time within the kingdom.
The authorities have been advised to trouble directions that buildings built in colonies advanced earlier than the cut-off date (March 2018) but offered after that be considered eligible for compounding. The developers assert that software programs for the reputation of programs from builders are not dependable; applications are frequent in both online and bodily forms. The license fee and other prices should be standard in coins because the candidates were no longer PC-literate.
Making a strong call for the extension of the coverage for another four months, the association has asked the government to bring development costs for colonies placed inside and outside the city limits at par, keep camps for filling out packages for regularisation, waive hobby of packages submitted below previous guidelines, and constitute a kingdom belongings board to bridge the space among the stakeholders and the regulatory bodies.
