12 lakh ‘illegal’ Mumbai homes to get relief under new amnesty scheme: Who benefits?
A new Mumbai amnesty scheme aims to provide relief to 12 lakh homeowners living in 25,000 illegal residential properties. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will issue Occupational Certificates (OCs) to eligible properties, benefiting schools and hospitals as well. OCs will be granted to properties occupied on or before November 17, 2016, with a carpet area of 80 square feet.
The scheme includes a 50% concession on regulation fees, penalties, and application costs. Property tax will be calculated using BMC's specified rates. The proposal was cleared in April 2023, with implementation expected in the coming weeks.
