New Delhi:The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the proposal to introduce the National Capital Territory of Delhi (Recognition of Property Rights of Residents in Unauthorised Colonies) Bill, 2019 during the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament.
The Bill will help in allowing the registration of properties and provide certain relief to the residents in the Unauthorised Colonies of Delhi from Registration Charges and Stamp Duty.
"Nearly 40 lakh people reside in Unauthorised Colonies located on private or public land in Delhi. Properties, whether in the form of a plot of land or built-up space are generally held through General Power of Attorney (GPA), Will, Agreement to Sale, Payment and Possession documents," an official Cabinet release said.
"The properties in these colonies are not being registered by registration Authorities and thereby the residents do not have any title documents in respect of such properties and the Banks and financial institutions do not extend any credit facilities in respect of said properties," it said.
