A day after it announced a modest budget, endeavoring to explore fresh sources of revenue, the BMC Mumbai on Saturday issued a circular, raising the penalty on illegal constructions by four times. According to source, unscrupulous builders and tenants carrying out irregularities in their flats and buildings now must get ready to pay a heavy price as BMC raised the penalty on illegal constructions by four times.
The rule applies to any addition or alteration made in high rises as well as work carried out beyond permissible limits in housing societies, buildings and projects. This notification marks the withdrawal of the earlier circular (January 19) that decreed demolition of unauthorized floors without giving the owner or builder a chance to apply for regularization under the MRTP Act. Sections 52 to 54 of the MRTP Act lay down the law to penalize developers for irregular constructions and regularize unauthorized work.
Municipal commissioner Subodh Kumar, who knows regularizing illegal floors in buildings could be a source of big money for the BMC, has also introduced changes in two other categories of the penalty. First, a 30% fine for “change of utility in approved buildings”, and a second penalty for alterations, such as illegally added cabins and partitions and unauthorized excavation of project foundations. This last category will invite a fine of Rs 425 per sq m from the earlier Rs 400 per sq m, with the amount slated for a rise by 5% every year.
