PANJIM: Revenue Department on Thursday issued a notification extending by 30 days the deadline to apply for regularisation of unauthorised structures in private properties.
“This is a last extension for the deadline,” Revenue Minister Rohan Khaunte said. The notification implies that the department will not accept any application for regularisation of unauthorised structures after Nov 4, 2018.
The scheme gives people the opportunity to legalise illegal structures by paying taxes. It had ended on March 31 this year. Revenue Department has received around 5000 to 6000 applications for regularisation.
Regularisation of residential or commercial unauthorised construction in own property, or carried out by a co-owner with consent of other owners in a joint property, or dwelling houses by mundkar are being considered.
Constructions falling within protected forests, wildlife sanctuaries, no development zone, open spaces, public land, eco-sensitive zone, coastal regulation zone and khazan lands are not being entertained.
