Chandigarh 28th
November 2017: Chandigarh Housing Board has
allowed need based changes in its DUs through various orders from time to time
subject to conditions mentioned therein. There are many allottees who have already made
additional constructions in their dwelling units which do not fulfill the
conditions mentioned in need based changes orders and hence cannot be
regularized. Further, many of the allottees have constructed chajjas/cantilevers/balconies
outside the plotted area, which are projecting over govt. land.
Such
allottees are approaching CHB for regularization of the same as the
construction was done by them many years ago and any modification to such
construction to bring it in accordance to the byelaws is not feasible at this
stage.
Chandigarh housing board has deliberated on
imposing a penal charge for encroachments on incidental spaces/govt. land and for additional constructions in its dwelling units which do not fulfill the
conditions mentioned in need based changes orders @100/- (Rs. One hundred only) per Sq.ft. payable with
immediate effect and subsequently once in the first month of every calendar
year to give temporary exemption to allottees from immediate demolition,
subject to the condition that despite the penal charge, the right of the govt.
for unconditional access and use of the said spaces will be absolute for any
issues such as maintenance etc. The
penal charge has been imposed in view of the fact that encroachments on land
outside the plotted area by the allottees cannot be regularized and also
considering the fact that demolition of additional construction at a large
scale may eventually be the only alternative and, in order to give some time to
such allottees to remove these encroachments on govt. land/additional construction
in theirs DUs, which are not in accordance with various need based changes
orders. However, the allottees will be required
to submit a certificate of structural stability to CHB from a qualified
structural Engineer, having M.E. /M.Tech. registered with the Chandigarh
Administration in the interest of safety of the occupants and in the interest
of public safety.
Further, in view of the fact that EWS and LIG
DUs are allotted to people belonging to the poor strata of society it has been decided
to give a major rebate in the above said yearly penal charge to the allottees
of DUs of EWS and LIG categories as well as a 10%-20% rebate to the allottees
of other categories as per the table below:-
EWS

50%
