Approvals for self-redevelopment of societies within 3months

Your desire to build a new, larger home close to where previous families have lived for many years has been made easier.

Housing societies' self-redevelopment proposals will now be processed more quickly, allowing for the early start of construction.

The Maharashtra government has given such societies yet another boost by instructing its officers to clear applications while ensuring that all necessary permissions are in place within three months of the date of application.
