The Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadanvis launched a Self-redevelopment scheme. The scheme will allow member of the housing societies or chwals to re-develop their old buildings. Self-redevelopment scheme is actually an initiative by the Mumbai District Cooperative Bank. The bank will provide financial support and government will help with other necessities of the redevelopment.
Mumbai has thousands of such old buildings and chawls which are more than 40-50 years old and are dangerous. Many societies want to redevelop their apartments but are constraints due to lack of finance and support. Some of them have already redeveloping their societies with the help of private builders but they are stuck due to various issues.
The Mumbai District Cooperative Bank and Maharashtra government believes that the Self-redevelopment scheme will reduce the hassles faced by the residents because of developers and builders during the redevelopment.
The scheme was launched in an event organized by the Mumbai District Cooperative Bank, the chairman of the bank Pravin Darekar too was present at the event.
How to apply for Self-Redevelopment Scheme and other details:
- MHADA (Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority) along with Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will form a single window system for the applications
