Deadline for the Gunthewari proposal in Pune extends to June 30

07 Apr 2022 CW Team

The deadline for submitting Gunthewari ideas has been extended until June 30 by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). The submission deadline passed on March 31.

All genuine proposals that fall within the scope of this programme will be considered. According to Vikram Kumar, PMC administrator, additional time has been allocated so that more citizens can benefit from the scheme.

According to PMC authorities, the local body has been accepting submissions from property owners who have illegal structures since January. This arrangement allows construction on Gunthewari land to be legalised until December 31, 2020. The prior deadline had been January 1, 2001.

There is not much of a response. The regularisation cost is one of the grounds preventing many applicants from applying because they will have to pay three times the ready reckoner rates. In both civic and urban areas, rates have risen. It will have a greater negative influence on proposals. According to a top PMC official, the reaction may decrease.

Around one lakh homes in PMC zones could potentially be regularised. Both business and residential properties will profit from the programme.

Although the number may have increased, the PMC has opted not to consider proposals from 23 newly amalgamated communities.

Because the sanctioning authority for building licences for these properties was different, the decision was made.
