Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, has announced conversion benefits for allotment of CIDCO houses and commercial plots, from leasehold to freehold, so that people can own their properties. The demand was made by public representatives from Navi Mumbai, Aurangabad and Nashik region.
In a meeting held on December 20, 2018, Fadnavis issued directives to the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO), to take necessary action immediately. The leasehold to freehold conversion will be done, after payment of one-time transfer fees. The chief minister said the process will be implemented in Nashik and Aurangabad CIDCO plots, which have been allotted.
An official in the chief minister’s office (CMO) said in Navi Mumbai, the government acquires plots, which are developed by CIDCO and allotted on lease. The CIDCO board had approved a proposal to give extension to the lease agreement and submitted it to the government for sanction. The government decided that while extending the lease for 99 years, the plots allotted for residential purposes, will have to pay a one-time transfer fee.
