Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE " HOUSE FOR ALL "


Building  Clearance  in  Real  Time  ?

--------------------------------------------


Hindustan Times ( 18 Dec ) carries following news report :


“ BMC can now clear proposed Realty Projects within minutes “


Mumbai, Dec. 18 -- In a bid to get construction projects off the ground faster, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has introduced a new feature that will bring down delays from 22 days to just a few minutes.


On paper, this can enable developers to get the elusive commencement certificate - to begin construction - within one week.


The new feature of the recently launched One Geographical Information System (GIS) will allow developers to get procedural remarks from multiple departments on their construction proposal on a real-time basis.


This reform has been introduced under the civic body's ease of doing business, in a bid to improve the city's dismal ranking in World Bank's annual report.


India is currently ranked 100 in ease of doing business and 181 in clearing construction proposals


According to the system, applicants will get an immediate response to their queries for further certificates related to construction proposals……….


Now, in a single click, the official from the building proposals department will see existing pipeline networks and the remarks will be mentioned there itself

It was only a few days back that Times of India reported that under the Online Building Permit System , in Mumbai ,


·         the number of procedures from beginning to the end have come down from earlier 29 procedures to only eight.

·         Similarly, the number of days for completing the process has been reduced to 60  in comparison to the earlier practice of nearly six months 

Now , with this today’s announcement , BMC seems to be totally “ sold “ on implementing my TWO YEAR old suggestion :


SELF CERTIFICATION FOR BUILDERS ?  [  04  Nov  2015  ]




Shri Ajoy Mehta ( BMC Civic Chief ) deserves congratulations  !
