Regularization of Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi

Once again the issue of regularization of unauthorised colonies in Delhi on the News. As the process of finalizing the revised guidelines is on following the Union Government's approval for revision in the guidelines for regularization of unauthorized colonies in Delhi. Unauthorized colonies fulfilling the prescribed conditions will be eligible for regularization. Once regularized, as per the provisions of Master Plan, unauthorized regularized colonies would be covered by the Special Area Building Regulations to be framed for special area, unauthorized regularized colonies and village abadis.

Owners in special area, unauthorized regularized colonies and village abadis shall register themselves with the local body within a period of four months indicating the existing extent of construction. Thereafter, a certificate of structural safety by qualified engineers shall be submitted within the next six months. Subject to height restriction of 15 meters, all buildings covered by such registration shall be exempted from punitive action till Special Area Building Regulations for these areas are notified or for a maximum three years, whichever is earlier.

The concerned local bodies/agencies responsible for civic services will provide civic facilities as per their service plans and over a period of time, those colonies will be integrated into the planned development. In view of the legal and administrative issues involved, no time frame has been fixed at this stage.
