MCHI-CREDAI explains the paradigm shift at the government level with ease of doing business for real estate industry
MCHI CREDAI says that it efficiently undertook
the task of re-engineering the entire permission process owing to which a
lot of positive changes have happened with the implementation of Ease
of Doing Business (EODB). Some revolutionary changes can be witnessed
where the impact of these developments and fast – track functioning,
owing to digitization of approvals, would percolate down to every
segment of society.
MCHI-CREDAI has made persistent efforts with
MCGM and other government agencies and closely collaborated with the
Chief Minister and Housing Minister of Maharashtra in creating
guidelines for the manual which would provide a big boost to real estate
industry in Mumbai and the MMR. The suggestions given by its team were
almost considered in toto by the MCGM and were appreciated by the Chief
Minister and the Municipal Commissioner.
It may be recollected that the central government had
issued directives a year back to all the municipal corporations to take
steps ensuring Ease of Doing Business. Since then MCHI-CREDAI with the
support of central and state government is constantly making efforts to
ensure Ease of Doing Business in all the related departments.
Lauding the BMCs move of online acceptance of any
documents related to building proposals from May 15, 2016, which have
been linked with the online system with the Airports Authority of India,
archaeological department and railways, Urban Development Minister
Venkaiah Naidu noted that it will bring revolutionary change in the
perception about the system.
He also said that the Municipal Corporation has
integrated many approvals like fire and water to prevent applicants from
going to the departments. However, for Mumbai, there are two special
requirements, coastal regulation zone and restrictions due to the
national park being located within the city and integration with these
two processes is under way.
Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister, Government of
Maharashtra, noted that substantial reduction in the time period for
approvals will ensure that the investment on projects does not increase
due to cost overruns, which ultimately impacts the common man. This is a
DNA change in the thought process, which would be visible at the ground
level soon owing to implementation of Ease of Doing Business.
Dharmesh Jain, President, MCHI–CREDAI, said, “Our
ground work and efficient implementation by Municipal Corporation would
bring in transparency and improve efficiency in the real estate sector
besides substantially improving the city's index in ease of doing
business.”
Ajoy Mehta (IAS), Municipal Commissioner’s role has
been very positive and significant in bringing out change in the working
culture and his positioning of real estate industry as a client is huge
perception shift. His initiatives would cut down time for the
permission and speed up the procedure of acquiring approvals with
desired speed and transparency. It will also help to cut down the costs
of the houses ultimately. It would also remove red tape from the process
and will give impetus to creation of affordable housing in the city and
state, thus effectively catering to consumer demand for positivity and a
relaxed atmosphere for doing business and reduce stress at so many
points.
The paradigm shift would come from use of latest
technologies not only for facilitating construction permissions but also
to keep a watch on illegal constructions. Apart from this, Mumbai will
have a single DCR for all cities which is under preparation to be put on
a digital platform in coming two months. Architects will have options
for getting NOC/ Remarks manually or online.
MCHI–CREDAI has requested to upload all the formats
of EODB in AUTO DCR so that one can directly fill the fact sheet and
submit report online to avoid all the duplication, which is happening at
present.
Currently MCHI–CREDAI is working on environmental
laws as part of DCR to be released in the next couple of months, which
would be a big step forward.
