Haryana notifies registration of fourth floor addition

Haryana's department of town and country planning has issued guidelines on registration of fourth floor in the Haryana urban development authority (now HSVP) and licensed colonies across the state. As of now, building plans can be approved with fourth floor as an independent dwelling unit, but the fourth floor itself could not be registered for want of apportionment of land cost among all independent floors. In its letter issued the department of town and country planning has clarified that the apportionment of land cost shall be in equal proportion among all independent floors - 50% each for two floors, 33 and 1/3% each for three floors and 25% each for four floors. The letter, issued by A K Singh, principal secretary, town and country planning, has clarified that no fragmentation of the plot shall be allowed and all independent floor owners, whether second/third/ fourth, shall jointly own the full plot of land on which the independent floor is sited.
