There are general regulations about any construction permissible on land, and no piece of land shall be used as a site for the construction of a building if the site is not eligible for it.

If the Authority considers that the site is insanitary, incapable of being well-drained, or is dangerous to construct a building on it then it is not permissible to use this land as a site for construction.

For Example, if the site is in Defense land, Railway region Hilly region, or not drained properly, in this case there, one cannot construct anything on the land without considering the regulations. This information about reservations and their use is very important when someone starts actual planning, whether they are land owners, builders, or construction owners. It is a must-know information before purchasing land or starting construction on the land.

Charges for Gunthewari

The regularization of gunthewari development is subject to the prior  payment of compounding fee and development charges may be determined by the state government from time to time.. That is to say, the charges for gunthewari is yet not declared. 

List of Documents for  Required for Gunthewari

Benefits of Gunthewari development

Well, gunthewari developments are unlawful and there is an obvious need to curb such development, at the same time. Whereas, its not desirable to demolish on a mass scale of the old and long existing constructions  made on gunthewari plots. The followings are the benefits of regularizing the gunthewari yojana as follows-

1. The prime and very important benefit of regularizing the gunthewari schemes is, whatever illegal you have bult I becomes legal
2. It  increases the valuation of property.
3. If you are regularizing the open plot then it also increases the FSI of the plot.

Sample Gunthewari certificate
