Tuesday, 27th November 2007. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has decided to discontinue sealing of residential premises engaged in carrying out professional activities.
MCD Standing Committee Chairman Vijender Gupta also said:
“Residential premises where professional activities are being carried out were being sealed since there was confusion regarding provisions of the Master Plan for Delhi-2021. As per Clause 15.8 of the MPD-2021, ‘In the case of plotted development with single dwelling unit, professional activity shall be permissible on any one floor only, but restricted to less than 50 per cent of the permissible or sanctioned Floor Area Ratio whichever is less on that plot’. In case of properties with multiple ownerships, it was unclear as to what extent and which owner could avail himself of this Clause. Moreover, several professionals moved the court against depositing the parking and conversion charges and the court granted stay in this case.”
The civic body will put its stand before the court on the next date of hearing, December 11, to ensure that professionals in the Capital are allowed to carry out their activities without fear of sealing.
“The existing professional activities in basements may also be allowed to continue in plotted development. In case the use of basement for professional activities leads to exceeding the FAR on the plot, prescribed charges may have to be paid,” he concluded.
