Bhopal: Rebate deadline on building compounding fee extended till June 30

BHOPAL (Madhya Pradesh): The state government has extended the deadline for special 20 per cent rebate on building compounding fees till June 30.

Urban development and housing minister Bhupendra Singh said a provision of 20 per cent special rebate on fee in compounding cases was made by the state government till February 28, in urban bodies but now the same has been extended to end June.

Last year the state government had revised the rules and allowed compounding in buildings up to 30 %. Previously only 10 per cent compounding was allowed on illegal/additional construction in buildings.

For mitigation of building construction without permission and additional construction against the building permission, an online system is being operated for building permission through the Directorate of Urban Administration and Development. ABPAS (Automated Building Plan Approval System) for online mitigation of cases and receiving fees online facility is available. Urban bodies have been instructed to resolve the cases of mitigation through online ABPAS only.
