Chandigarh to regulate building violations via one time settlement

The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) is planning to make building violations in CHB dwelling units regular on the one-time settlement process as followed in Delhi.

In the next board meeting, the discussion of the plan would come up. The meeting is probably in the first week of September. According to the plan item, the board has offered to formulate a way to give some relief on need-based changes on the Delhi pattern.

On 29 January 2021, V P Singh Badnore, UT administrator, advised CHB to review the demands of residents for one-time regularisation of added construction on the Delhi pattern. CHB officials claim that relief, based on the Delhi pattern, is the solution to the complicated need-based changes made by the housing board. They said it was executed in 1999 in Delhi.

Recently, CHB increased the regularisation deadline of need-based changes till December 31. The board has the penal charges the same as the previous year.

According to the order, CHB fixed penal charges of Rs 50 per square ft yearly for EWS category flats. For LIG category flats, the fine is fixed at Rs 60 per sq ft yearly. For MIG category flats, the penalty charge is at Rs 80 per sq ft annually, and for LIG, it is fixed at Rs 80 per sq ft annually.

On March 8, the board of supervisors approved the expansion of the deadline.

CHB already reported that rule changes made in flats by allottees, which do not match the criteria fixed by the UT administration in their notification of need-based changes, would mean violations.

The board has directed allottees to apply for regularisation of need-based changes after paying a few charges.

In 2019, the Chandigarh administration decided not to give a one-time amnesty solution for violations by large-scale CHB allottees in flats.

From the last few years, residents of 50,000 CHB flats made need-based changes in their flats. Though, the UT administration did not regularise these changes and circulated notices to almost every allottee who were demanding regularisation of need-based changes.
