Ahmedabad civic authority to charge Rs 70 lakh for town planning schemes

12 Aug 2022 CW Team

The civic body would charge you Rs 70 lakh if you urge it to reconsider a preliminary or approved town planning proposal in which your site has been included.

After the municipal commissioner issued a circular recently amending the ten-year-old price of Rs 40 lakh, this eye-watering charge went into force on August 1. The update occurs at a time when the civic body is short on funds.

The town planning department of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) established the "varied charge" for a TP Scheme at Rs 40 lakh in March 2012, mostly to fend off concerns.

There are procedures from the time a planned TP scheme is announced until the scheme is approved whenever the AMC implements a new Town Planning scheme in a newly acquired land.
