LABOUR CESS ENVIRONMENTAL CESS

transfered to State Govt

• when development fees meets up all the financial requirement of authority, the subdivision fees is additional
• this subdivision fees to single residence owner was charged to make them buy land from sanctioned plotting
schemes. however, we failed to make public notification for this.
• also the fees is just same which is charged from latter seller and to the owner, how can we expect to make this
change.
• this fees should also be charged for only the part of land under construction, hence saving their gift deed fees.
• proper method can be mentioned from place to place to utilise environmental cess
SOLUTIONS
INACCESSIBILITY FOR REMOTE AREAS
• Typical House Sanctioned maps can be prepared and listed
• The owners shall just have to upload the site dimensions and choose plan as per requirements
• a major part of NOCs, shall also be not required with the precustomed drawings

COMPLEX PROCESSING METHODS

• Saving time and misguidance to the public. DDA should conduct process of NOCs grant from inself.
• this single window system, shall save energy of individual visiting the site from each department.
• this shall also bring down informal money drain as the drawings would also be prechecked
SOLUTIONS

UNAVALIABILTY OF STAFF
• A major reason behind unavaliability of staff is with the understanding of requirement of staff
• A proper gudiance for estimating the staff count can based on the total area being sanctioned by authorities
• Like number of Junior Engineer required can be estimated with 1000 Sqm of Area for each

ASSUMED BURDEN
• the sanction drawing in itself is a total statement of design- plan, elevation, column steel layout, door window
schedule
• working on same plan will help public to bring fees down with more relevant plan for authorities
KEY

COMPLETION CERTIFICATE

• the main function of development authoritiy gets worthless because of actual construction being so different
• the sanctions are given but no check and control over final product is observed and even the DDAs does not
keep blame of non regularised construction going on
• if the authorities plan to bring down its charges without loosing the capital gains, then better should plan for
completion certificate
• The Completion Certificate shall include site reporting and post compounding if deflections are found
• Hence taking control over balanced development and financial gains
• This is how the regularised construction followers will pay alot lesser amount than others.
KEY

VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE

• local architectural materials and techniques could make better part in the typical designs being prepared
• so the architype plans could be prepared with combinations of local architecture techniques (location), altitude,
soil bearing capacities and requirements
• our local architecture is seen as highly economic, culturally promoting and considered to be world best
example in earthquake resistance
• the artisans will reflorish in area, migration would cut down and we may bring up more bring homogenous
developments in villages and towns
• the state tourism department will also witness better spaces around. these residences may be planned in a
way to incorporate an additional home stay possibility on side and subsidies of the same being santioned along.
