The SDMC has reportedly earned a revenue of around Rs 66 lakh as regularisation fee from the process. The civic body charges Rs 630 per square meter for existing farmhouses which have been built within the ambit of building by-laws. However, farmhouse owners who have made excess construction would have to pay penalty charges extra.
The civic body is hoping to earn huge revenue from the regularisation process. The policy has been in existence since 20th September, 2013, and will be valid for one year. The SDMC officials are hoping to regularise a large number of farmhouses within the time frame.
The policy to regularise the farmhouses in its areas was passed in the house by SDMC last year. However, due to much paperwork involved none of the owners showed interest in getting the regularisation process done. Taking note of the matter, the SDMC simplified the procedure.
‘This scheme is broadly aimed at regularising those farmhouses which have been in existence with deviations against sanctioned building plans or unauthorised constructions. The procedure entails certain documentary requirements, and is a hassle-free one for bringing the farmhouses within the ambit of relevant regulations notified in the master plan 2021’, read the statement from SDMC.
The move has brought much needed relief to hundreds of farmhouse owners. Large number of corporates and political bigwigs own farmhouses in South Delhi. Of around 3700 farmhouses in the city, South Delhi houses 2200 of them. ‘The SDMC is also planning to allot new farmhouses in the near future in each of its zones,’ informed a senior civic official.
