Bangalore : State Urban Development Minister Vinay Kumar Sorake has said that the state government has decided to frame guidelines for regularization of  constructions in urban areas which have come up by violating  the norms.  A notification on implementing the Akrama-Sakrama scheme that will enable regularisation of building bylaw and land use violations in urban areas will soon be issued.

Speaking to reporters here, he said once approved the guidelines will facilitate regularization of 50 per cent of residential constructions and 25 per cent of commercial constructions  which have violated the rules.

Under the scheme, violations pertaining to setback, floor area ratio (FAR), non-conversion of agricultural land, and formation of unauthorised layouts and sites under urban local bodies,   are eligible for regularisation. According to the draft rules,   violations up to 25 per cent in residential buildings will attract a fee of 6 per cent of the total guidance value of the property.  For violations between 25 and 50 per cent, a fee of 8 per cent of the guidance value has been fixed.

For non-residential buildings, regularisation charges will be 20 per cent of the guidance value for less than 12.5 per cent violation and 35 per cent for violations between 12.5 per cent and 25 per cent.
