The Govt. of Maharashtra with a view to deal with the problems of repairs and reconstruc ons of old
dilapidated tenanted buildings in the Island City of Mumbai whose rents were frozen at the year 1940 as

Reconstruc on Act in the year 1969. Under the provisions of this Act, the Bombay Building Repairs and
Reconstruc on Board was formed in the year 1971. A repair cess was levied on old dilapidated tenanted
buildings under the provisions of this Act. Thus, these buildings were called cessed buildings.
