In what would come as a New Year gift to citizens,the state government has decided to give another opportunity to owners to regularise their plots in illegal layouts under the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS).New LRS applications will be accepted for the next six months,that is,till June 30,2012.
However,there are a few riders.Twenty per cent surcharge would be added to the penal amount on new applications and on the balance amount for pending applications with only plots registered on or before December 31,2007 eligible for LRS.
Officials said nearly 10,000 LRS applications were pending with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) while the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) is yet to process 12,000 applications.The two agencies had received over a lakh applications.
Now,all earlier applicants who did not clear their penal amounts have an opportunity to clear their dues and complete the regularisation procedure. MA&UD sources said that GHMC and HMDA might get about Rs 200-300 crore revenue through LRS with nearly 70% of the expected revenue likely to go to GHMC since a larger chunk of the developed area falls under its jurisdiction.
Comment :
Instead of restricting eligibility date as on or before 31. 12. 2007 for the registration of plots, Govt should have shifted this deadline to 31.12.2012, straigtaway
