Hyderabad, June 10: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) will start the building regularisation process in a few days after going through the High Court judgement copy.
“We will announce the dates relating to the applications to be cleared per day through BRS Mela under categories like flats, individual houses, commercial buildings and others,” GHMC Commissioner S P Singh said.
The entire process would be completed in a span of one month. Singh said that the applications submitted with all documents and penalisation amount paid in full till date, will be cleared immediately. Of the 2 lakh BPS applications, 95 per cent belong to builders of flat and individual buildings, he said.
Once the regularisation schedule is announced, applicants have to go to the respective circle offices to get their building regularised. The GHMC head office will clear only high-rise buildings.
However, constructions that have come up on government lands, roads, open spaces, tanks beds, parking areas among other prohibited locations will not be regularised, Singh said.
Applications pertaining to land use conversions, that is those buildings which have been converted from residential to commercial will not be touched.
Even buildings which need No Objection Certificates from Fire Services, Airports Authority of India and others will be kept in abeyance.
The Commissioner also said that unauthorised buildings that have complaints from neighbours will not be regularised.
Complainants will be given a hearing and after a spot visit by officials, regularisation will be done according to rules.
But, applicants whose applications are rejected can go in for an appeal with the appellate authority, a BPS committee in the MAUD department headed by an IAS officer of Secretary rank.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) will also clear the BPS files in two to three months.
HMDA has received 9,456 BPS applications. It will send notices to the applicants to regularise their building by paying the remaining penal fee.
The HMDA has already collected about Rs 17.50 crore and is expecting another Rs 55-60 crore after regularising the buildings.
