Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal has issued an order amending a provision of the Development Control Promotion Regulation (DCPR) allowing offices in residential buildings.
A senior officer of the development plan department of the BMC said that many professionals like chartered accountants, lawyers, tax consultants and management consultants found it difficult to operate and they had their offices set up informally. Many times, they would make requests for amendments and hence the BMC has decided to amend it under the ease of business.
Earlier, the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India- Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (CREDAI–MCHI) made a representation to the BMC on November 5. The MCHI had made an appeal to allow business offices and service establishments in residential buildings by altering or amending Table C of Regulation 34 of the DCPR.
