The state cabinet on Wednesday extended the date for regularisation of constructions on Gunthewari land till December 31, 2021. The previous cut-off was January 1, 2001.
Gunthewari development means plots formed by unauthorisedly sub-dividing privately owned land with buildings on such plots, including excess vacant land under Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976, not vested in the state government but excluding land under encroachment. Such land is governed by Maharashtra Gunthewari Development (Regularisation, Upgradation and Control) Act, 2001.
The law allows for regularisation of construction on Gunthewari land barring no-development zones, eco-sensitive areas, green belts, tourism zones and areas which carry security concerns upto the cut-off date.
The extension is expected to benefit constructions, especially on unauthorised layouts especially on outskirts of cities like Aurangabad, Jalna and Pimpri-Chinchwad, officials said.
Maharashtra cabinet on Wednesday approved extension of its electronics policy 2016 till March 2023. It was to expire on April 10, 2021. The government will synchronise its electronics policy with Centre’s scheme for promotion of manufacturing of electronic components and semi-conductors. Sectors which receive no benefit in the Centre’s policy will be granted incentives under the state policy, as the government wants to attract more investments.
