The Punjab Government has introduced a facility of online submission and is processing an application for submission and processing of an application for obtaining NOC certificates to ensure their timely disposal of regularization of properties situated in unauthorized colonies of the state. The State Government has fixed a deadline of a maximum of 21 working days to complete the whole process of issuing the NOCs.
Housing and Urban Development Minister Aman Arora said this facility of regularisation could be availed only by those residents whose properties fall under the unauthorized colonies developed before March 19, 2018.
Arora said the person concerned can now log on to the portal dedicated to the regularisation of plots and buildings situated in the unauthorized colonies, which will be processed online.
Till now, the application was processed offline so the applicants had to wait for a long time for getting the NOC issued. “Due to ignorance, a considerable number of people had purchased properties in unauthorized colonies which had mushroomed in the past few years. These allottees had invested their hard-earned money to purchase plots or other establishments in these colonies”.
This portal is designed for regularization of plots and buildings falling within the municipal corporation and outside MC area for quick disposal of application,” he added. The Punjab Government had notified a policy on October 18, 2018, to regularise plots falling in authorized colonies developed before March 19, 2018. However, plot holders were facing issues with getting their plots regularised under this policy.
