There is no clarity on whether the amount required for regularisation should be paid in installments nor had the government-specified any last date for payment of the fee for regularisation of the encroached lands. The government had previously allowed payments in five installments and gave a discount of 5% for those who paid the amount in one go.
The government, in the past, had announced regularisation of lands below the extent of 125 sq.yds held by below poverty line families for free of cost. The cost of regularisation of lands between 125 sq.yds and 150 sq.yds in notified slums was fixed at 10% of the government price and 25% in case of lands in other areas.
Applicants have to pay 25% of the price of lands in extent up to 250 sq. yds and 50% in respect of those up to 500 sq. yds. The government had fixed 75% of the existing price for encroached lands above 500 sq. yds and 100% of the base price in the case of non-residential structures.
The government has come up with the drive to regularize the minimize the litigations between encroachers and government by collecting the regularizing fees. Every citizen must utilize this opportunity.
