Maharashtra Government Proposes Changes To Regularise Illegal Buildings ndtv.com

MUMBAI: The Maharashtra government has proposed changes in calculating penalties to regularise illegal residential buildings in the state, a move likely to provide some relief to occupants of such structures.

The modifications have been published in a notification issued by the government's urban development department last week, an official said Tuesday.

They are an improvement on calculations done earlier to levy penalties on unauthorized structures, he said.

As per the proposed modifications, the planning authority would calculate 'compounding charges' (penalties) needed for providing public amenities, utilities, and services in the respective areas.
