Amendment in transferring MC immovable properties to individuals

CHANDIGARH, NOV 22 
The Haryana Cabinet, which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal here today, has made amendment in section 164(c) of the Haryana Municipal Corporation Act, 1994 to transfer municipal corporation immovable properties to individuals, who are in possession of shops or houses of upto 1,000 square feet.
          The amendment in Section 164(c) states, “The consideration for which any immovable property may be sold, leased or otherwise transferred would not be less than value at which such immovable property could be sold, leased or otherwise transferred in normal and fair competition.”
          The Government, for last many years, was considering that the Municipal Corporations immovable properties allotted to individuals on lease, rent from last many years from which Municipal Corporations are not earning much revenue and also not able to get it evacuated, may be sold to the occupiers, so that the Municipal Corporation may earn some revenue out of it and also the occupiers may get ownership of the property. The Government has also received several requests from many such occupiers to allot the properties to them as they are paying nominal rent from last several years. 
          The present occupant, if different from the original allottee/lessee shall submit an affidavit stating that the property is free from any ownership/occupancy litigation. If any building was constructed over the site at the time of allotment/lease then the value of the same will be the residual PWD rate. Further, the property will be free from any type of encroachment. If the area of the property is more than 1,000 square yards then the same will be done after the approval of the government. In case of area less than 1,000 square yards, the Deputy Commissioner/Commissioner, Municipal Corporation will be competent to allot. If any property falls within the proposed area required for development then the alternative plot of the same value will be given to the allottee.
