Mumbai: MHADA cuts RR charges for additional area for tenants of old cessed buildings

NEW DELHI: Eligible original tenants and residents listed in the
Mumbai
Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board's (MBRRB) master list will now be charged only 100% of the ready reckoner rate, instead of the earlier 110%, for the additional area allotted beyond the permissible or original area of their old residential units, said
Sanjeev Jaiswal
, vice president and CEO of
MHADA
.
This relief will be applied retrospectively to beneficiaries declared eligible in the December 2023 lottery. Jaiswal has directed that a new policy framework be finalized by April 28, 2025.
Jaiswal said, "In many old and dangerous buildings, only the upper floors are demolished, leaving ground floor tenants in uncertainty. These residents were not previously regarded as eligible. We are going to change that; tenants on the ground floor will now be listed on the Master List and will also get the compensation they are due."
MHADA is currently conducting a biometric survey of transit camp residents in order to categorize them into Categories A, B, and C in accordance with the Government Resolution dated September 13, 2019.
MHADA CEO ordered that residents of Category A, whose original building cannot be rebuilt, be given preference when it comes to being added to the Master List. Furthermore, he directed that if the redevelopment of dangerous cessed buildings is stalled, tenants/residents should be offered the option to be added to the master list. This includes those living in buildings acquired by MHADA post-Notice under Section 91(A).
Jaiswal also instructed the concerned departments to hold a new lottery within six months to determine eligibility and allot permanent homes to 100 tenants/residents from old cessed buildings.
The December 2023 lottery was organised in five categories based on tenement size: 91 tenements of 401–500 sq ft, 28 tenements of 300–316 sq ft, seven tenements of 501–601 sq ft, one tenement of 701–753 sq ft, and 125 tenements of 301–500 sq ft. MHADA will hold a 10-day special camp to issue allotment letters to successful beneficiaries.

State Launches Maha-AASTHA to Digitise Employee Records

Nagpur: The Maharashtra government has launched a time-bound drive to bring every service record of state employees online through its new e-HRMS platform, Maharashtra Advanced Administrative System for Transparent Human Resource Administration (Maha-AASTHA). The initiative aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in maintaining government staff data, from appointment formalities to retirement benefits. According to a Government Resolution (GR) issued on June 20, all departments at Mantralaya must establish dedicated Maha-AASTHA cells by June 27. Each department is required to appoint a nodal officer (SPOC) and submit their contact details to the general administration department (GAD) by June 30. These cells will function as control rooms to oversee the transition from paper-based service books to fully digitized records. Updating service records has been made mandatory. All details—such as appointments, transfers, promotions, training, leave history, pension nominations, and disciplinary actions—must be uploaded to the digital service books by July 15. Officials have also been instructed to physically sort and clean old records to facilitate scanning in the next phase. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Departments must prepare an organogram (staff structure) and ensure that all employees have active government email IDs. Weekly progress reports must be emailed to the GAD every Monday. Officials clarified that this is not just a digitization initiative, but part of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis' 150-day administrative agenda, building on the earlier success of the 100-day plan. The goal is to eliminate delays in employee service processes through streamlined digital workflows. While the initial phase targets the Mantralaya departments, the plan is to eventually expand it to every government office across Maharashtra. Departments have been warned that non-compliance or delays will be taken seriously. The state government expects the initiative to ultimately benefit over seven lakh employees, but for now, the pressure is on departments to clean up decades of paperwork and ensure no data is left behind before the July deadline.
