Hyderabad News.LRS Deadline may be extended. But Eligibility Cut Off Date may remain December 31, 2007.
Hyderabad News. DC 19.12.2011
(Excl Ventures News.)In a move that will enable people who have purchased unauthorised open plots to regularise their acquisitions, and at the same time fill its depleting coffers, the state government is all set to accept “new applications” under the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS).
With an approximate three lakh open plots in illegal layouts statewite, the regularisation of plots is estimated to fetch `1,000 crore to the cash-starved Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority and other civic bodies. There are about two lakh unauthorised plots in HMDA limits alone.
HMDA officials have written to the government proposing enhancing of the penal amount for regularisation of illegal plots, and opening the doors for fresh applications. The HMDA, however, made it clear that the cut-off date or eligibility for regularisation should continue to be December 31, 2007.
The government has not been accepting fresh applications under LRS since January 1 this year. Thousands of applications for building permission have been rejected because the plots or land was unauthorised.
A senior official reasoned that people will any way go ahead and construct houses on illegal plots. As a result of this, not only will the plots be illegal but also the buildings will be unauthorised.
The HMDA is clearing LRS applications submitted before December 31, 2010, and the exercise will end on December 31 this year. “In the interests of checking illegal constructions and raising revenues, it is better to allow submission of fresh applications under LRS,” a senior official in HMDA said.
LRS was first introduced on January 1, 2008, to regularise open plots in unauthorised layouts that were registered before December 31, 2007. Nearly 1.3 lakh plot owners applied for regularisation of their land and the government closed the doors for submission of applications from December 31 last year.
