Delhi's unauthorised colonies that were regularised last year, the government has exempted owners from income tax even if they had purchased land or house at rates below the prevailing market price.
Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari said the registration of properties has begun in unauthorised colonies but the Arvind Kejriwal government is trying to"obstruct" it and "mislead" people.
Taking to Twitter, Baijal said it was a major step for conferring ownership rights to the residents of these colonies, adding that the move would pave the way for smooth implementation of PM-UDAY (PM Unauthorized Colonies in Delhi AwasAdhikar Yojana).
The residents of the unauthorised colonies in the national capital will be able to apply for ownership rights starting December 16, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri had said on Saturday. The applicants will get the ownership certificates within 180 days from the date of application, the minister had said at the launch of a portal, which would "define and delineate" the boundaries of 1,731 unauthorised colonies here, using satellite imagery.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approving a proposal to grant ownership rights to people living in unauthorised colonies in Delhi. The move is set to benefit at least 40 lakh people.
"All the unauthorised colonies will be regularised in six months from now. The Delhi BJP leaders will visit unauthorised colonies on September 22 in 22 assembly segments to get feedback from people and exposing the Kejriwal government which has failed to regularise these settlements despite being in rule for five years," Tiwari said at a press conference.
In the absence of piped water supply, residents of unauthorised colonies mostly rely on DJB and private tankers, and illegal borewells.
The top court bench also refused to vacate its stay on proposed amendments to the city's masterplan. The Development Authority had (DDA) appealed the court to vacate the stay.
