Maharashtra Advances Housing Society Conveyance and Revises Land Allotment Policy
The Maharashtra government, led by Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, is advancing policies to support cooperative housing societies. Efforts include expediting deemed conveyance for 60,000-70,000 societies and lifting a decade-long freeze on state land allotment. The new land policy replaces lotteries with auctions, mandates reservations for backward classes and disabled persons, and offers 30-year leases. These measures aim to facilitate redevelopment, ensure tax benefits, and promote inclusive housing access across the state.
