Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has forwarded a proposal to the state government seeking directions on the development of facility area on single patta (lease deed) plots. At present, in the single plots approximately 15% to 20% of the total land is surrendered to develop green-belt under high tension, construction of drains and road. Apart from this, it is mandatory to earmark 5% land for facility area.More than 20% land is surrendered for facility area in single patta, less land is available for construction. We have sent a proposal to redefine the facility area of single patta. Apart from this, the JDA receives a nod from the urban development and housing (UDH) department not to levy external development and sewerage charges on warehouses developed on agriculture plots.To promote the warehousing industry, the decision has been taken. However, in future, if sewerage is laid for other establishments in the vicinity of the warehouses, then charges will be imposed. UDH department has also made amendments in the existing Rajasthan Municipalities (Disposal of Urban Land) Rules, 1974 to promote investments in urban areas and strengthen the financial condition of local bodies in the state.As per the new rules, owners can deposit land conversion fee in one year instead of six months. Earlier, if the amount was not deposited for six months, the process of land conversion was automatically cancelled. The department has also decided not to impose lease amount on land conversion cases’ proceedings for warehouses and cold storage of agricultural products. For warehouses and cold storage of agricultural products, the civic bodies will allot land at 50% of the reserved price, but allottees will have to construct in two years.
