New Delhi: Constructing new buildings in south and east Delhi will very soon get expensive. This came after a proposal was accepted by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to impose compensatory regulatory charges against circle rates while approving building plans.
Earlier, these charges were only levied in areas of North Delhi. But this decision will increase the cost of constructing houses in south and east Delhi.
The collected amount will be used for maintaining and developing civic infrastructure in the MCD areas, including regularised colonies and village abadis.
The current circle rate in that colony will be used to calculate the fees for a property's projected built-up area.
Area |
Percentage of circle rate per square metre |
<250 sqm |
0.05% |
>250 sqm |
0.10% |
Agricultural land/LDRA |
1% |
To levy the charges, MCD will consider only the built-up area to levy the fee during its sanctioning instead of the entire plot area.
The idea behind this new development is to bring in new residents. After the Delhi Master Plan 2021, the number of permissible dwelling units increased substantially and multiple units are being constructed by redeveloping single-unit buildings.
