Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is taking steps to regularise illegal properties and would send teams to each zone of the city to deliver the notices under the Gujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Act, 2011 (GRUDA).
The AMC has been waiting for the Gujarati version of the forms that are required for the impact fee procedures.
As per the procedures listed under the recently declared rules of GRUDA, 2011 first the assistant town development officer (TDO) of a particular area will serve a notice to the owner-this will be Form A1. The owner then has to reply to the notice in Form B-1-A and Form B-2-A respectively and furnish all relevant particulars and documents and attach them with Form-D-1, Form D-2 and Form D-3. These last three forms pertain to details of proof of ownership of the house, construction particulars including the plans.
If the officer of the area - TDO - finds no fault with the application form and finds the declaration of the owner proper, the officer will then issue C-1 certificate with the requisite impact fee which has to be paid by the owner.
An AMC officer will be sent to the premises for inspection, if the officer suspects that the owner of the illegal property has withheld some information.
