CHANDIGARH, APRIL 15

 Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) has extended the time limit for construction on residential and commercial plots beyond the stipulated period of two years.

          While stating this today, a spokesman of HUDA said that the proposal to grant further extension in time limit has further been examined and it has been decided that there shall be no upper limit of the time within which the allottee is required to complete the minimum required construction. The extension fee beyond the initial allowed period of 2 years shall be as under:

Year in which the plot falls after the expiry of the normal period of construction	Hyper Potential Zone	High Potential Zone	Medium Potential Zone	Low Potential Zone	In case of plots up to 100 Sq. mts (Irrespective of zone)
1st block 1st year	30.00	25.00	20.00	15.00	10.00
2nd year	30.00	25.00	20.00	15.00	10.00
3rd year	30.00	25.00	20.00	15.00	10.00
2nd block 4th year	60.00	40.00	30.00	20.00	15.00

11th year	125.00	100.00	75.00	50.00	25.00
12th year	125.00	100.00	75.00	50.00	25.00

          He said that after expiry of 12th year, further extension in period of construction would be allowed on payment of extension fee at double the rates of the previous year. However, this would not apply to plot sizes upto 100 square meters for which the rates would remain the same as in the 12th year unless and until increased by the Authority.

          He said that in respect of commercial sites up to two storey or more than two storey the rates for extension fee would be two times or three times of the rates for residential plots, respectively. He said that 50 per cent rebate in the extension fee would be allowed in case of plots allotted to defence personnel including paramilitary forces. The rebate in extension fee to women and widows would continue to remain in force.

          He said that these rates of extension fee would be applicable from the date of issue of this policy and the existing allottees would be required to pay the extension fee at the revised rates for any extension to be sought after the coming into force of this policy. However, the allottees would not be required to pay any differential amount for the extension fee already paid by them before the date of issue of this policy, he added.

          The policy would be applicable to all the cases where resumption orders have been passed due to non construction but the allottees or re-allottees have challenged the resumption orders and the litigation is pending in any Forum. In such cases, the Estate Officer would inform the Court or Authority where the appeal of former allottee against the resumption order is pending, that the said Court or Authority may dispose off the appeal in terms of the new extension policy. He said that the plots which have been resumed after December 31, 2007 but the allottee has not challenged the resumption order as on the date of issue of this policy would be restored by the Estate Officer after prior approval of the Zonal Administrator. He said that the policy would not be applicable where the litigation has attained finality and resumption order has been upheld. The policy would not be applicable where the allottee or re-allottee has executed SPA or GPA after the passing of the resumption order, he added.
