Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) which is reeling under the
severe cash crunch, levied Enhancement Cost onto the Plots of various HUDA
Sectors of Haryana. This time there was proper outcry amongst the
residents almost Haryana. Amid protest, dharnas and agitations, on 5th May
2018 Chief Minister Sh Manohar Lal who also happens to be the Chairman of
announced an One-time Settlement Scheme wherein a straight 40% rebate was
offered onto the Enhancement amount and it's interest. This scheme was
effective from 15th May 2018 and remained in force till 16th July
2018.
Not all residents and owners of these HUDA/HSVP Sectors of Haryana
were happy with the scheme as they had apprehensions that whatever Enhancement
HSVP is claiming is hypothetically escalated and if calculated correctly will
be enormously reduced. On their claims Chief Minister Haryana assured that HSVP
will re-calculate the enhancement for those who don't intend to
avail the benefit of the scheme. It was also assured that few points of
contention as under will be considered while re assessing the Enhancement Cost:
- Interest of period of delay in
Conveying of Enhancement by HSVP will be looked into.
- Land pockets which were
released after the Sectors were floated should be reduced from Sector.
- Land which is still under
litigation u/s 24(2) of New Land Acquisition Act of 2013 be reduced from
the chargeable areas.
- Unused HUDA Land in the Sectors
be reduced from the chargeable area.
- Sector Roads has to shared with
adjoining Sectors
Now, the Sector-52,
Gurugram residents and plot owners are feeling cheated as they along with
similarly placed Sector like Sector-51, Sector-27, 28, 42, 43 of Gurugram and
various other Sectors have paid complete Enhancements without any rebate.
Residents Welfare Association of Sector-52, Gurugram have decided
to take up this matter with authorities as they have failed to avail OTSS
Scheme and the largesse of HSVP.
RWA of Sector-52, Gurugram is therefore seeking the equal
treatment which HSVP is intending to extend to the Sectors which are currently
facing the wrath of enhancement. Since HSVP is re calculating considering the
technical points hence the RWA of Sector-52 seeks similar grounds of proposed
relief be extended to them as they have paid their all of the 3 Enhancements as
per schedule decided by the HUDA (now HSVP)
