Maharashtra Urban Development Department Reaffirms SRA Role Under Regulation 33(11)
Maharashtra's Urban Development Department has reaffirmed that Mumbai's Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) should continue processing redevelopment proposals under Regulation 33(11) of the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) 2034, following government directions from October 2024. This clarification addresses jurisdictional disputes raised by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which sought control over such approvals, especially for non-slum plots. Developers hope this will resolve uncertainties and facilitate smoother project approvals involving permanent transit camp tenements for displaced residents.
