The monthly rent allowance for tenants of dilapidated cessed buildings in Mumbai has been increased to INR 30,000. This marks a rise from the previous INR 20,000. This measure aims to provide improved financial support for tenants needing alternate accommodation while their buildings undergo redevelopment.
Furthermore, the government has also pledged to revoke No Objection Certificates (NoCs) for developers who have not started redevelopment projects under DCR 33(7) within three years. This action is intended to address stalled projects and ensure that redevelopment efforts proceed as planned, benefiting the tenants who are often left in limbo due to delays.
Minister of State for Urban Development, Pankaj Bhoyar, made these assurances in the state assembly. Cessed buildings are old, dilapidated structures in Mumbai, primarily located in the island city. Their redevelopment often involves complex challenges, including providing temporary housing for existing tenants. Such government measures are crucial for supporting urban renewal projects and protecting the rights of residents during the redevelopment process.
