According to the new bylaws passed in
the Noida authorities’ board meeting, the plot owners in the city are in
a situation where they should either build a house in their land within
2 years or lose their plot allotment.
In
Noida, there are plots which remain vacant for decades and the
concerned authorities are aimed at getting rid of the encroachments in
these vacant lands. Rama Raman, the chairman and CEO of New Okhla
Industrial Development Authority said that there are many complaints
regarding the plots that remain as shambles with minimal construction
for years. These lands are reportedly being misused for unauthorized
purposes. This may encourage criminal activities in the locality and
thus the new amendment was proposed in the board meeting. As per the new
bylaw, the landowners should construct the building on 100 per cent
area of the allowed Floor Area Ratio instead of the 50% FAR allowed till
now. This new change is applicable only for the residential plots in
the Noida area and it should be executed within 2 years of time. He also
mentioned that the old allottees will be served with a notice to
complete the construction within 1 year, failing of which the lease deed
will be cancelled and the plots will be confiscated.
Sources
said that till 2011, the property owners were allowed to apply for
completion certificates even for the construction of 25 per cent FAR in
the vacant land. The authorities used to penalize the owners if the
construction was not complete within the prescribed time but the owners
get extension by paying penalty. To avoid such plot misuse, the
amendment was proposed and there will be a survey conducted in Noida to
identify such vacant plots.
The
Noida authorities believe that this new bylaw will be a stringent action
against the encroachers and will eventually eradicate vacant land
encroachment in the city.
