Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India]: Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel decided that unauthorised non-residential constructions up to 4.5 FSI (Floor Space Index) in rural areas can now be regularised, the Chief Minister’s Office said in a release.
The Chief Minister has made a significant decision to make the IMPACT law more people-orientated in Gujarat, the CMO said.
The Chief Minister’s decision reflects his public-focused approach, aiming to ensure that the Gujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Act 2022 receives widespread response, allowing the maximum number of people to benefit from it, said the CMO
A provision has been made to regularise unauthorised constructions by charging a fee for deficient parking–up to 2,000 square metres for unauthorised residential constructions and up to 1,000 square metres for unauthorised non-residential constructions.
Previously, 50 per cent of the deficient parking was required to be provided within the plot or a 500-meter radius.
For the remaining 50 per cent, regularisation of unauthorised construction was allowed by charging the prescribed fee for parking as per the Gujarat Regulation of Unauthorised Development Act 2022.
These important decisions by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel regarding the impact fee will be implemented shortly, following the procedures as per the rules.
