Regularisation of bylaw violations till December 14

GULBARGA: The State Government has in a one-time offer for regularisation of unauthorised constructions and violations in building bylaws in areas coming under the urban civic bodies set a deadline of December 14 for regularising the violations in construction of buildings, both residential and commercial, and for those who had constructed buildings in illegal layouts.

Deputy Commissioner Pankajkumar Pandey told presspersons here on Tuesday that the Government had now come out with the new Karnataka Town and Country Planning (regularisation of unauthorised development or construction Rules 2007) for giving a last chance for people regularise violations committed in the construction of their buildings and for those who had constructed their buildings unauthorisedly in the illegal layouts and without changing the status of the land from agriculture to non-agriculture in the urban areas.

Mr. Pandey, however, said that the regularisation of violations in the construction of the buildings, both residential and commercial, would be made to a certain limit.

He warned that those who failed to avail themselves of the benefit of the offer would face the threat of disconnection of electricity supply and water supply to their buildings and the authorities would take up the demolition of the illegal structures after December 14.

The official said that there were around 100 illegal layouts in Gulbarga alone and the people who had constructed their houses in these layouts should get their constructions regularised by paying the prescribed fee to the Government.

In the layouts where the lands have not been reserved for parks and civic amenities as prescribed under the law, the authorities would use the collected penalty amount from the residents for the acquisition of lands adjacent to the layout and using it as a park for the residents.

For regularisation of the unauthorised plots and constructions, the applicants would have to pay fees for scrutiny as per the measurement of their plots, betterment levy, fee for the non-agriculture land and fee for regularisation of the plot. The applicants for the regularisation of buildings constructed violating the land use would have to be pay the fees prescribed in the rules for the regularisation, he added.
