Any deviation from sanctioned plan needs to be regularised


Q. My brother has purchased a flat in Bowenpally area which comes under the Kukatpally municipal limits. The flat has been built with the approval of the municipality but the 3-bedroom flat stands at a place where actually there should be a two bed room flat. The registration has however been done for a 3 bed room flat. On contacting the society about the need to apply for regularisation, they have advised that there is no need for regularisation of deviation since the total built up area is well within the norms.

K.Chandramouli

Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) replies: Irrespective of whether the built-up area is well within the norms or not, deviations of any kind such as setbacks or others, from the sanctioned plan have to be regularised.

We have a plot measuring 483 sq yds in Bagh Hayathnagar under Hayathnagar mandal. We would like to know whether to regularise the layout, as we are not aware that the area in which the plot located is under municipal limits or not. If so, what amount to pay for regularisation and what sort of documents to be submitted and what is the last date for submission?

K.Sreekant

GHMC replies: Since this does not fall under the GHMC limits, you are advised to approach the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority for regularisation.

I purchased a new flat at Shah Residency, Shanti Nagar during the year 2000. We did not receive the Notice U/S 452 (2) of HMC ACT, 1955 for the above building informing us to pay for unauthorised construction or apply for penalisation. The building is an authorised construction and has four floors and my flat has 1,025 sq ft area. Shall we have to wait for GHMC notice or go ahead with the procedure for regularisation of deviation if any in the building construction during 2000 by the builder.

Syed Rasheed

GHMC replies: If there are any deviations, one is advised to approach the GHMC and seek regularisation without waiting for a notice to the effect.

I am planning to take a flat in Kukatpally by applying a loan from any nationalised bank. Recently I came to know that the flat has deviations and the builder paid the penalty amount for which GHMC has given acknowledgement. Now banks are not ready to give the loans unless and until GHMC gives the clearance document. When can I get the clearance document from GHMC?

Harkar Chandrashekar

GHMC replies: Since the matter is pending with the courts, the issue of regularisation will be taken up after it is settled.

I have a friend who constructed his house a few years back in Secunderabad Cantonment area over a 200 sq yard land which was registered in his name. He had taken permission from the concerned authority to construct a house on it, but he did not get the registration for the constructed house, as he was told there is no need for registration in this area. I would like to know whether he should get it registered or not as the Cantonment area is not part of GHMC, and what is the procedure to get the registration done.

Ahmed Iffat

GHMC replies: The Cantonment does not form part of GHMC and hence the regularisation is not applicable.

I purchased a duplex house at Kalyanapuri, Uppal in the year 2006. The total plinth area of the house is around 1,600 sft and the builder has taken permission for construction of 994 sft in ground and first floors.

At the time of property assessment it was assessed for 1,398 sft for which I am paying Rs.1,910 property tax every year. Do I still need to regularise the building?

K. Srinivasa Reddy

GHMC replies: The excess built-up area of the house has to be applied for regularisation under the scheme.
