complied with in case of Residential Component of the project.
d) There will be requirement of 25% project area ownership at the time of signing
of Agreement and 50% ownership at the time of making an application for
change of land use. Development Agreements as already allowed under the
industrial Park scheme will also be honoured/covered in the ownership criteria
of the land. For rest of the area, the Promoter may have Agreement to sell with
the land owner. Maximum 20% of the land will be acquired by Government in
all categories of industrial Park projects on the request of the promoter, if
required, to provide contiguity and connectivity.
e) Golf Course shall not be included in definition of infrastructure.
f) To avail the benefits, the project in a particular category must be submitted as a
single project and not in parts.
g) The project shall be subject to parking norms notified by the Chief Town
Planner Punjab.

a) Exemption from Stamp Duty as leviable in Schedule 1 A of the Indian Stamp
Duty Act and Registration charges on first sale/lease of developed area and
build up spaces.
b) No CLU charges will be levied on the industrial component of the Park.
However, the developer will pay CLU charges on the residential and
commercial components as applicable to the residential plotted category.
c) In case of Category 'A' projects, the project will be approved irrespective of its
land use position in the draft Master Plan or in or outside the Local Planning
Area, till the Master Plan is finalized. The Master Plan will be prepared or
amended keeping in view the approved project of this size after following the
due procedure.
d) The project land, where CLU has already been granted as part or whole of a

e) If a Promoter proposes to implement a lower category of project, for example
250 acres project (Category 'C'), he will be entitled to the benefits being granted
to the Promoter of that size of the project. If, however, he adds another 250
acres of land, he will be granted incentives of 'B' category of project. Similarly,
for addition of another 250 acres of land, he will be granted the incentives for
'A' category project for the entire area of the project. These benefits will
however be extended only if the additional land is contiguous to the already
implemented/sanctioned project. However, on a different location, if the
developer sets up another project, he shall be allowed concession on
5
License/Permission Fee applicable to the project of one category higher than the
project proposed but no extra concession on EDC of one category higher will be
given e.g. if Developer has set up a project of 'A' category anywhere in Punjab
and he also sets up project of 'C' category elsewhere in Punjab, then in case of
'C' category project he will get the concession of License Fee for Category 'B'
but on EDC he will get the concession of Category 'C' only. The excess
payment already made on account of CLU, EDC and License fee for the
implemented/sanctioned project will be accordingly adjusted against the future
payments. However, the entire project including the extended area should be set
up in 60 months from the date of signing of agreement with the State
Government for initial project.
f) In a large project, the developer is going to pay for the part of external
development works himself. Thus, the liability of carrying out external
development works shifts from the Government/Authority to the Developer
partially. The higher the size of the project, the higher is the shifting of liability
from the State/Authority to the Developer. Therefore, reduction in rates of EDC
and License Fee charges shall be granted to such projects as under:-
Category %age of concession
EDC License Fee
A 50 75
B 37.5 55
C 25 35
However, 5% of the total amount payable by the developer on account of EDC
and License fee shall be levied as Health & Social Security fund and recovered in
addition to the EDC & License fees. This amount will be deposited in a separate fund
to be established by the State Government for Health & Social Security Schemes.
The terms of payment (installments, rate of interest, penal charges, bank
guarantee etc.) for payment of license fee shall be the same as in case of EDC
prescribed under PAPRA, 1995.
g) The rates of EDC, License Fee and CLU charges will be as per the different
components in the park and depending upon the potential zones in which the
park falls. Where a piece of land falls in more than one potential category, the
proportionate rate of fiscal charges for each category shall apply.

Proceedings of the meeting held on 26 th May, 2006 at 3.30 PM under the
Chairmanship of secretary to Government Punjab, Housing and Urban
development Department regarding guidelines for Diesel Consumer Pumps of
Cooperative Societies.
The following were present:
1. Sh. Arun Khanna, Senior Manger, Consumer Sales, IOC.
2. Sh. D.S. Kainth, Deputy General Manager, IOC.
3. Sh. Gurmeet Singh, Joint Secretary to Govt. Punjab, Housing and Urban
Development Department.
4. Sh. Rajinder Sharma, Senior Town Planner, (HQ) O/o Chief Town Planner,
Punjab.
At the outset Chairman welcomed the officers. Prevailing guidelines for diesel
Pumps of cooperative societies were explained, wherein it has been provided that
Consumer Pumps being set up in the Campus of Cooperative Societies are being
examined from the storage point of view, pumps coming up on Roads away from the
cooperative societies campus are being examined as per the IRC or otherwise
applicable guidelines on that particular road.
Representatives of the Indian Oil Corporation classified that the consumer

Pumps of cooperative societies are meant only for the consumption/use by the
Members of the society and are not open to sale for general public. Therefore, such
sites need not to be examined as per IRC guidelines but need to be examined as per
storage, guidelines as these pumps do not generate extra traffic. After detail discussion
it was decided that the Consumer Pumps of Cooperatives societies henceforth shall be
examined as per storage guidelines. However, these sites shall have close entry and exit
through single gate or double gate depending upon site conditions and available space
with the cooperative societies.

GUIDELINES FOR ACCESS, LOCATION AND LAYOUT OF ROADSIDE

FUEL STATION AND SERVICE STATIONS
(THIRD REVISION)
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Recommended Practices for Motor-Fuel Filling Stations and Motor Fuel
Filling-Cum-Service Stations were initially published as seprate documents in the year
1954 and 1962 respectively. These were later converted into metric units in 1967.
These two seprate documents were revised and merged in a single document namely
“Recommended Practice for Location and Layout of Roadside Motor Fuel-Filling and
Motor Fuel Filling-cum-Service Stations” and was published as a single document as
IRC: 12 in the year 1983.
1.2. The Ministry of Shipping. Road Transport and Highways (MOSRT & H)
revised substantially the norms for location, layout and access to fuel stations along the
National Highways keeping in view the increased speed of vehicles and greater need
for road safety due to development of National Highways network under various phases
of National Highway Development Project (NHDP) and other development works on
National Highways. These norms were circulated in October, 2003. These norms were
finalized in consultation with the Ministry of Petroleum and the oil companies.
1.3 The Transport Planning, Traffic Engineering and Road Safety Committee (H-1)
decided that the draft for the revised standard might be updated by incorporating the
present guidelines of MOSRT&H by Shri S.B. Basus. The draft was modified as per
the provisions of latest MOSRT&H Guidelines and also subsequent experiences gained
while processing the applications for setting up of fuel stations by the side of National
Highways. The draft was considered and approved by the Transport Planning, Traffic
Engineering and Road Safety Committee (H-1) in its meeting held on 4 th November,
2008 subject to some modifications. The draft was modified and finalized by S/Shri
S.B. Basu. Chief Engineer (Retd.) and Sudip Chaudhury, Superintending Engineer.
Deptt. of Road Transport & Highways. The Highways Specifications and Standards
(HSS) Committee approved this document in the fifth meeting held on 23 rd November,
2008. The Executive Committee in its meeting held on 30th November, 2008 approved
this document. Finally the Council approved this document in their meeting held on
13th December, 2008 at Kolkata. The names of the personnel of Transport Planning.

2 BASIC PRINCIPLES
The governing consideration for setting up fuel stations is to ensure free flow of traffic
on the road along the fuel stations, minimum interference by the vehicles using the
facilities and to ensure safety of the vehicles on the road.
3 SCOPE
3.1 Petrol/Diesel/Gas fuel stations and service stations with or without Rest Area
Amenities etc. are hereinafter referred to as Fuel Stations.
3.2 There norms are applicabole to all Fuel Stations with or without other user
facilities of rest areas, along un-divided carriage way and divided carriage way and
divided carriageway sections of all categories of roads i.e. National Highways, State
highways, Major District Roads and Rural roads in plain rolling and hilly terrtain, and
passing through rural and urban stretches including towns and cities. For this purpose
hilly or mountainous terrain would be when the cross slope of the country is more than
34
25%. The urban stretches, only for the purpose of this guidelines, would be where a
highway passes through towns or cities which have been notified as Municiplaties or
Municipal Corporations.
4 GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SITING
4.1 The fuel stations shall generally be a part of the rest area complex along the
highways. Rest areas should have various amenities for users, e.g. places for parking,
toilets restaurants rest rooms kiosks for selling sundry items, bathing facilities, repair
facilities creche etc. These aspects should be incorporated while planning for
improvement and upgradation of highway/road sections and/or planning for new fuel
stations along the highways/roads. The rest area complex can be planned subject to
their commercial viability.
4.2 It should be ensured that the location of the proposed fuel station does not
interfere with future improvements of the highway/road and the nearby
intersections/junctions.
4.3 The fuel stations would be located where the highway alignment and profile are
favourable i.e. where the ground as practically level, there are no sharp curves or steep
grades (more than 5%) and where the sight distances would be adequate for safe traffic
operation. The proposed location should not interfere with placement and proper
functioning of highway signs, signals, ligthing or other devices that affect traffic
operation.
4.4 While considering the proposal for new fuel stations, it would ensured that the
fuel stations on a corridor are well distributed on both sides of the highways so that
vehicles normally do not have to cut across the traffic to reach them. The fuel stations
would be serving only the traffic moving on the adjcent lane. For the vehicles traveling
in the lanes in opposite direction, seprate fuel stations need to be planned for which
premission would be considered keeping also in view of its location and distance
norms.
4.5 In order to provide safe length for weaving of traffic, fuel stations along
highways/roads shall be located at the minimum distance from an intersection (gap in
the central median be treated as intersection), as given below. For single carriage way
section, these minimum distance would be applicable for both sides. All the distances
shall be measured between the tangent points of the curves of the side roads at
interestions/the median openings and the access/egress roads of the fuel stations, as is
applicable, in a direction parallel to the centre line of the nearest carrigress roads of the
stations, as is applicable, in a direction parallel to the centre lien of the nearest
carriageways the highway.
The above mentioned distances are applicable for setting up of fuel station
along National Highways, State Highways and Major District Roads. In case of fuel
stations along the Rural Roads in plain and rolling terrain the distance from the
interesection with NHs/SHs/MDR can be reduced to 300 m in place of 1000 m
depending on the level to traffic.
35
4.5.1 Non-urban (Rural) strecties.
1) Plain and Rolling Terrain
(i) Intersection with NHs/SHs/MDRs/City Roads 1000m
(ii) Interection with Rural Roads/approach roads 300 m
to private and public properties.
2) Hilly/Mountainous Terrian
(i) Intersection with NHs/SHs/MDRs 300 m
(ii) Intersection with all other roads and tracks 100m
4.5.2 Urban stretches
1. Plain and Rolling Terrain
(a) Urban Area with population of more than 20,000 and less than one lakh.
(i) Intersection with any category of roads of carriageway
width of 3.5m and above. 300m
(ii) Intersection with roads of carriageway
width of less than 3.5m 100m
(b) Urban Area with population of one lakh and above
(i) Intersection with any category of road
(irrespective) of carriageway width 100m
2. Hilly and Mountainous terrain
(i) Intersection with any category of road (irrespective
of carriageway width) 100
4.5.3 There shall not be any median gap on a divided carriageway within a distance of
300 m on each side of the fuel station. This minimum distance i.e. 300m shall
be measured between the start of the median gap and the nearest tangent point
of the acess/egress road of the fuel station, as is applicable, in direction parallel
to the centre line of the nearest carriageway of the highway. This stipulation
shall be applicable for such median gaps, which are load median gaps or median
gaps in proximity of interesctions, the provisions stipulated under para 4.5.1 and
para 4.5.2 shall apply.
4.6 The minimum distance between two fuel stations would be given below:
4.6.1 Plain and rolling terrain in non-urban (rural) areas
(i) Undivided carriageway (for both sides of 300 m
carriage way) (including deceleration
and acceleration lanes)
(ii) Divided carriageway (with no gap 1000m
median at this location and stretch) (including deceleration
and acceleration lanes)
36
4.6.2 Hilly/mountaionous terrain and urban strectches
(i) Undivided carriageway (for both sides of 300m
carriageway) (clear)
(ii) Divided carriageway (with no gap in median
at this location and stretch) 300m
(clear)
Note: (i) The minimum distance of 300m between two fuel stations on both sides
of the road is applicable for undivided carriageway only. In case of
divided carriageway, with no gap in medians, the distance restriction is
not applicable on the opposite side of the fuel station and the minimum
distance between two fuel station on the same side shall be 1000m
(ii) The distance between the fuel stations shall be measured between the
tangent points of the access/egress roads of the fuel stations, as is
applicable, in a direction parallel to the centre line of the nearest
carriageway of the highway.
4.6.3 If two or more fuel stations are to be sited in close proximity for some reasons,
these would be grouped together to have a common access through a service
road of 7.0m width and connected to the highway through acceleration,
deceleration lanes. From these considerations, the permission for the new fuel
stations would be considered only if it is either in proximity to the existing one
so that the common access can be provided or the new one located at distance of
more than 1000m. Any objection from the existing fuel station owner against
granting of acess permission from the highway for the proposed new fuel station
are to be overruled and access to all fuel stations in case of clustering, shall
invariably be from the service road only.
4.6.4 For installation of new fuel station within the 1000m or 300 m distance of
existing fuel stations as the case may be, new entrant would be responsible for
construction and maintenance of the common service road, decleration and
acceleration lanes,l drainage and traffic control devices Wherever, available
ROW is inadequate to accomodate such service roads, declaration/acceleration
lanes, etc the additional land by the side of ROW to accommodate such service
roads shall also be acquired by the new entrant Oil Company. In case of
hilly/mountaionous terrain, common service roads at all such locations may not
be possible as per the site conditions and, therefore, common access through
service roads would not be a pre-condition.
4.7 The fuel station shall not be located within a distance or 1000m any barrier
including that of toll plaza, and railway level crossing. No chek barrier/toll plaza should
be erected within 1000m of a fuel station. However. if such barriers are located on
service roads only and are separated from the main carriagway, then this requirement
shall not apply. Fuel Stations should be located at a minimum distance of 200m and
500 m from the start of an approach road of a Road Over Birdge (ROB) and the start of
a grade separator or a ramp respectively.
37
5 PLOT SIZE FOR FUEL STATION
5.1 The minimum size and shape of the plot for the fuel station would need to be
such that it suitably accommodates fuel pumps, offices, stores, compressor room, air
pump and kiosks without causting any hindrance to the movement of vehicles of
expected maximum dimentsions, within fuel stations and in the access area. Sufficient
space would need to be available to accommodate the number of fuel pumps to catre to
the expected number of vehicles in peak time at this location so that the vehicles do not
spill on to the access area. The air pump and kisks for pollution control measurements
be installed at some distance from the fuel pumps so that the vehicles requiring these
services do not cause hindrance to the free movement of vehicles entering or exiting for
refueling.
5.2 From these considerations, the minimum size of the plot for fuel station along
highways/roads shall be as follows:
(i) On undivided carriageway in 3.5m (frontage) x35m (depth)
plain and rolling terrian
(ii) On divided carriageway in 35m (frontage)x45m (depth)
plain/roling terrain
(iii) In hilly and mountaionous 20m (frontage)x20m (depth)
terrain
(iv) In urban strectches 20m (frontage)x20m (depth)
Note: The proposed plot of new fuel stations should be such that the minimum plot
size stipulated as above can be accommodated.
5.3 For fuel station being part of the rest area complex, the area required for other
facilities, such as parking, resturant, rest rooms, toilets, kiosks for selling sundry items,
bathing facilities, repair facilities etc. would be extra but such integrated facilities shall
have a single common access/egress.
6 ACESS LAYOUT
6.1 Access for New Fuel Stations along Un-divided and Divided Carriageway
sections.
6.1.1 The access to the fuel stations along the highway/road shall be through
decleration and acceleration lanes. The deceleration and acceleration lanes may
be dispensed with for the fuel stations located along urban roads, rural roads and
roads, in hilly and mountainous terrain. The access to the fuel stations located
on highways with service road shall be through that service road.
6.1.2 The decleration lane would take off from the edge of the shoulder taken up to
the edge of the Right of Way (ROW) of the highway/road, beyond which, the
boundary of fuel station shall start. Its minimum length would be 70m measured
along the traveled direction of highway. Its width would be minimum 5.5m. The
shoulder of 2.25 m would be provided towards the outer side of the
access/egress (i.e. on the side farthest from the carriageway) for this
deceleration lane.
38
6.1.3 The acceleration lane would take off from the edge of the fuel station on exit
side having minimum length of 100m with parallel type layout. Its starting
stretch of 70m length would be with a curvature of minimum radious of 650m
and the remaining 30m length would be tapered so as to facilitate vehicles
coming out fuel station, merging with fast moving through traffic on main
carriageway, in a safe and efficient manner. Wherever, available ROW is
inadequate to accommodate the service roads/and or deceloeration/ acceleration
lanes in plain and rolling terrain of non-urban stretches, the additional marginal
land by the side of ROW to accommodate the deceleration/acceleration lanes
shall be acquired by the owner of the fuel station. In case of widening to 4/6
lanes in near future, the matter shall be dealt on case to case basis.
6.1.4 A seperator island would be provided in front of the fuel station so that no right
turning takes place. The length of this separator island would be determined on
the basis of the intersecting points of the the edge line of the seperator island
with the line drawn along the edge of chevron markings as indicated in Figs. 1
to 4 of these norm. Its shape for isolated fuel station would be as shown in Figs.
1 and 3, and that for the cluster of fuel stations with common service roads, as
shown in Figs. 2 and 4. It would have minimum width of 3m. The width of
approaches connecting deceleration and acceleration lanes along the separator
island should be 5.5 m.
6.1.5 There would be buffer strip from the edge of the ROW and would extend
minimum 3m inside the fuel station plot. Its minimum length would be 12m. In
urban/hilly or mountainous areas minimum length of buffer strip may be
reduced to 5 m keeping minimum width opening at entry and exit to 7.5m. No
structure or hoarding except the approved sandard identification sign on pole
would be permitted, which may be provided outside the ROW. The buffer strip
as well as the separator island would be provided with kerb of minimum 275
mm height to prevent vehicles from crossing it or using it for parking purposes.
The buffer strip in the approach zone should be sutiably shaped to cover extra in
the approache/zone after provision of acceleration, deceleration lane and connecting
approaches and should be properly turfed for asthetic landscaping.
6.1.6 The radious for turrning curve would be 1.3 an and that for non-turning curve
be from 1.5 to 3 m so as to check over speeding while entering or exiting the
fuel station. Wherever, available ROW in inadequate, the aditional marginal
land by the side of ROW shall be acquired by the owner of the fuel station to
provide prescribe turning radious.
6.1.7 The pavement of the access roads including deceleration, acceleration lanes and
connecting approaches would have sufficient strength for the expeted traffic for
the design period. It would have minimum pavement composition of 150 mm
thick Granular Sub Base (GSB) overlaid by three layers of Water Bound
Macadam (WBM) (other than WBM-Grading No.1). Wet Mix Macadam
39
(WMM) each of 75mm thickness topped by 50 mm thick Bituminous Macadam
(BM) and 25 mm thick Semi Dense Bitumious Carpet (SDBC).
6.1.8 A typical access layout for the new fuel station with relevant details for
deceleration and acceleration lanes, connecting approaches, separator island,
buffer strip, drainage, signs and markings on un-divided carriageway section of
highway would be as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 of these norms.
6.1.9 The typical access layout for cluster of fuel stations, with details for
deceleration lane, service road and acceleration lane etc. would be as shown in
Figs. 2 and 4 of these norms.
6.2 The typical layout for fuel station and signs and marking along highways in
hilly/mountains terrain and in urban stretches is given in Fig. 5.
7 DRAINAGE
There shall be adequate drainage system on the access to the fuel station and inside its
area so as to ensure that surface water does not flow over the highway or any water
logging takes place. For this purpose, the fuel station and access area would be at least
300mm below the level at the edge of the shoulder on the highway. The surface water
from fuel station and access road would need to be collected in a suitable underground
drainage system and led away to a natural course through culvert Only slap culvert with
iron grating of adequate strength shall be constructed in the approaches so that surface
water is drained through the openings of in the grating. Construction of pipe culverts
shall not be permissible for this purpose. The drainage arrangement would be either by
the method mentioned above or as per the satisfaction of the Highway/Road
Authorities. The applicant has to prepare separate detailed drawings indicating the
drainage arrangments and to be submitted along with the application for permission.
8 ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHT OF WAY
AND BUILDINGS LINES
While planing the layout for various facilities inside the fuel station, it has to be
ensured that fuel pumps are located beyond the Building Lines, as prescribed in IRC:73
“Geometric Design Standards for Rural (Non-Urban) Highways” and Fuel Station
office building etc. at a safe distance as prescribed by Fire Department or other
authorities. The buffer strip would extend minimum 3m inside the Fuel Station plot,
beyond the available ROW. The future widening of the highway/road shall also be kept
in view while setting up and preparing the layout plan of the proposed fuel station. The
proposed fuel station shall be located beyond the Right of Way as prescribed in IRC:73
for the respective category of the road on which it is located if there is such a proposal
of widening the highway/road. The owner of the fuel staion shall acquire additional
land, if required, to accommodate access/egress roads for fuel stations, service roads,
acceleration/deceleration lanes, etc.
40
9 SYSTEM FORM SIGN AND MARKINGS
9.1 An adequate system for signs and markings would be provided at the locations
of fuel stations for the guidance of the highway users. The pavement markings would
be in the from of chevron at entry and exit locations, give way for the exit from the
Fuel Station. Informatory sign for fuel station would be provided at are 1 km ahead 500
m ahead and at the entry point.
9.2 On undivided carriageway, additional signs for the regulation of entry and exit
of the vehicular traffic should be provided on the separator island. Also an informatory
sign should be installed showing the distance of the nearest Fuel Station located in the
direction to travel in order to avoid any hee for right turnings for accessing the Fuel
Station located on the opposite side. This sign should be installed at the location of
about 200m ahead of the opposible side Fuel Station.
9.3 The pavement markings would conform to IRC:35 “Code of Practice for Road
Markings”. and Road Signs to IRC:67 “Code of Practice for Road Signs” and
IRC:SP:55 “Guidelines on Safety in Road Construction Zones”.
9.4 The system for signs and markings with their type and locations would be as
shown in Figs. 1 to 4 for the chosen access layout.
10 IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE
10.1 Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas/Oil Companies while enteraining any
application for the installation of Fuel Station, would supply a copy of these norms to
the applicant so that he may access his position to fulfill the requirements of these
norms. Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas/Oil Companies would ensure that the plot
identified by the applicant conforms to the requirement of these norms in terms of its
location, access layout and signs and markings. It shall also be the responsiblity of the
applicant/owner of Fuel Stution to providle the prescribed layout for access as given in
Figs. 1 to 5, as the case may be, while preparing the layout. The applicant has to submit
a clearly drawn layout for the purposed fuel station as per the guidelines/standard as
indicated above.
10.2 The Highway Agency may prescribed for a license deed to be signed between
the oil company who wants so set up a new fuel station and the highway agency and
also a suitable amount as license fee in consideration of the agreement.
10.3 Non-conformity or any default in respect of the norms as mentioned above and
non-maintainance of deceleration lane, acceleration lane, service road, drainage system,
channelizers, marking, signs and other traffic control devices in good operating
conditions would make the fuel station liable to be de-energized. In case of clustered
fuel stations responsiblity for default or non-conformity will atrract such penalty and
would be determined through a joint inspection of the highway authority and the oil
companies concerned.

SHUD informed the participants that in different meetings of Empowered
Committee held under the Chairmanship of Hon'ble CM, wherein CS was also present,
there has been repeated criticism of slow processing of the projects in different
departments particularly in the Department of Town and Country Planning and the
Punjab Pollution Control Board. Many Ministers also voiced their concern on the slow
processing which is hampering the flow of fresh investments in to Punjab. Hon'ble CM
endorsed the views of the Ministers and asked the concerned Secretaries and HODs to
ensure speedy disposal of the cases in a time bound manner and clear guidance to
investors/ promoters regarding different provisions. It is in this background that this
meeting is being held.
Notification dated 14.9.06 Ministry of Environment & Forest Government of
India was discussed in relation to environment clearance of the projects concerning
Urban Development Department. Chairman Punjab Pollution Control Board informed
that as per schedule attached of this notification item no.8 i.e building/ Construction
Projects/ Area Development projects and townships relates Urban Development Deptt.
The projects included in category A of the schedule require prior environmental
clearance from the Centre Govt. in the ministry of Environmental & Forest and the
projects or activities in category (B) item no. 8 of the schedule including expansion and
modernization of existing projects or activities will require prior environmental
clearance from the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA).
Chairman, Punjab Pollution Control Board informed that State Govt. has already
constituted SEIAA and to assist the SEIAA State has constituted State Level Expert
Appraisal committees (SEAC) for analyzing the projects.
Projects under Category B item No. 8 (a) and (b) need prior clearance from
SEIAA. Any project or activity specified in category B will be treated as category A if
located in whole or in part within 10km. from boundary: (I) protect area notified under
the Wild Life (Protection Act 1972), that (II) critical as notification by the Center
PPCB from time to time, III notify eco sensitive area, (IV) State Inter- State boundaries
and International boundaries.
Chairman PPCB, informed that all other projects not covered under category B
item 8 (a) (b) of the schedule do not need environment clearance but require clearance
from the PPCB under:
(i) Water (Prevention& control of pollution) Act 1974 amended 1988
(ii) Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling Rules 2000)
(iii) Air (Prevention & control of pollution) Act, 1981
45
After detailed discussions, following clarifications emerged to facilitate faster
processing.
i) In case of CLU cases of residential project, boundary of the project should be at
a minimum distance of 100 mts from the boundaries of MHU/ Red category
industry till the case pending in High Court is finally disposed off. The cases of
Heaven Infrastructure Malout and Akme Ludhiana were discussed. As on today,
CLU permissions are being granted on the pattern of Haryana subject to PPCB
clearance later on. The pattern of clearance given by PPCB in the case of
Heaven Infrastructure Malout and Akme Ludhiana be followed in all cases
across Punjab.
ii) In case of building/ construction project having covered area of 72000sq. mts.,
the promoter after the approval of building plan shall get the clearance from
State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA). For building
projects having proposed covered area less than 20,000 sq. mts., No
environment clearance of State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority
(SEIAA) is required. Thus, these projects only require clearance from pollution
angle and not environment angle, of PPCB.
iii) In case of lay out of housing project, the promoter after the approval of lay out
plan shall get the approval of State Environment Impact Assessment Authority
(SEIAA) if the area is less than 50 hectares or built up area is less than 1,50,000
sq. mts. Therefore, projects receiving area less than 50 hectare or built up area
less than 1,50,000 sq mts do not require any environment clearance. However,
they shall take clearance from PPCB from pollution angle.
iv) Presently, PPCB follows the principle of designated area for a specific use
while granting NOC. To determine this, they take the comments of the office of
the CTP. Accordingly all kind of industry is permitted in the designated
industrial area and residential projects are permitted in the designated residential
area. No distinction is made between the categories of industry while granting
NOC in the designated industrial area. As per policy of 11.1.2008 institutions,
hospitals, multimedia centers and hotels have been declared as industrial use
for the purposes of land use by the competent authority viz. the Department of
Housing & Urban Development. Since there is no distinction on the type of
industry in the industrial area, these activities shall be freely allowed in the
designated industrial areas provided they fulfill the conditions of the policy
dated 11.1.2008 for which CTP has been designated as the processing authority.
Moreover, even in the past, commercial areas were integral part of any
industrial phase/sector. World over, hotels are essential part of any industrial
area/ zone as they provide vital service for the industry. In the SEZ policy of
Government of India, hotels are permitted within SEZ. Thus, from discussions it
clearly emerge that henceforth institutions, hospitals, multi-media centers and
hotels once approved under policy dated 11.1.2008 by the CTP shall require no
environmental processing/clearance if the covered area is less than 20,000
sq.mts. However, these projects shall require clearance from pollution angle but
not from environmental angle of PPCB under Air and Water Pollution Control
Act.
The area around educational institutions, hospitals etc. is to be designated as
silence zone for the purpose of implementation of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and
Control) Rules, 2000 enacted under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 vide Govt. of
46
India notification No. S.O. 123(E) dated 14.02.2000 amended to date (copy of the rules
enclosed). Therefore, while granting change of land use to such activities like
institution (education), hospital etc. in industrial zone the Noise Pollution (Regulation
and Control) Rules, 2000 be also kept in mind. The definition of the Silence Zone as
per the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 is reproduced as under:
"Silence Zone is an area comprising not less than 100
mts. around hospitals, educational institutions, courts,
religious places or any other area which is declared as
such by the Competent Authority"
In future, all cases shall be processed as per above clarifications and promoters
shall also be guided accordingly so that there is neither any confusion nor any
communication gap.

Urban Development Authorities.
2. The Chief Town Planner, Punjab, Chandigarh
Memo No: 9/49/08-3HG2/4733-34
Dated: Chandigarh, the 15.07.08
Subject: Recovery of CLU/EDC and Licence/Permission fee at new rates in
accordance with Notification No. 17/17/01-5HG2/4623 dated 19-9-
2007 for areas falling in GMADA Jurisdiction and Notification No.
17/17/01-5HG2/7639 dated 19-9-2007 for the entire State of Punjab
(excluding GMADA area).
Reference subject cited above.
Some of the Urban Development Authorities have been raising frivolous queries
in respect of certain promoters regarding the chargeability of CLU/EDC/
Licence/Permission fee at new rates. Such references to the Government only amount
to helping these develops at the cost of State exchequer. The Notification themselves
make it abundantly clear about the date of effect of new charges in respect of different
types of cases. Since the earlier EDC Charge was on "account basis", it clearly implied
that as and when EDC gets revised the developer/promoter shall be liable to pay the
same Notifications dated 19-9-2007 clearly mentioned the final rates of EDC which are
no more on "account basis." Thus, all previous developers/promoters having paid EDC
on "account basis" are obviously liable to pay the current EDC charges. It will not be
out of place to mention here that many of the big builder have already paid this amount
running into crores of rupees. Therefore, there is no confusion anywhere. It has also
been repeatedly clarified by the Government to the UDAs in various meetings of Chief
Administrators.
As regards the CLU, this is to be charged on the date of grant of CLU. However
if previously the sanction order slated the CLU charges shall be payable when levied,
then, in such cases the new CLU charges are obviously leviable.
As regards the Licence/Permission fee, the rate is to be charged on the date of
grant of Licence/Permission. This clarifies once again the position.
All the Competent Authorities were responsible for serving the demand notices
on the concerned developers within 30 days of the receipt of the Government
notification in their officers. Any delay in serving the demand notices by the concerned
UDAs amounts to loss of revenue to the State exchequer and is thus recoverable from
the concerned officer/official. A special audit in this regard shall be conducted by the
A.G. Punjab where after all such discrepancies/irregularities on this account shall lead
to recoveries from the concerned officer/official.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENVIORNMENT
AND NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
Notification
No.3/6/07/STE(4)/2274. Dated 25th July, 2008

Whereas, it is necessary and expedient to take steps under section 5 and section
7 of Environment (Protection) Act. 1986 and the Rules framed their under, to maintain
ecological balance, to prevent environmental degradation and to avoid human health
hazard in the State.
2. And whereas, in order to resolve the complex issue regarding siting of
residential project in the vicinity of industrial units/ industrial areas and to frame
consolidated guidelines after considering all other guidelines/ instructions/ notifications
issued by Govt. of India/ State Government and various Pollution Control Boards, the
Govt. of Punjab constituted a committee headed by the Chief Secretary, Punjab which
in its meeting held on 8.6.2007, observed that in case of knowledge based industry like
electronic/ I.T. Parks etc. where there is no discharge of any type, there may not be any
necessity of any buffer distance between the industry and the residents. In fact, the
concept of walk to work is being encouraged, world wide, in green industries. The SEZ
policy of Govt. of India also permits development and co-existence of non-polluting
and non- hazardous industries. Similarly, the Punjab State Industries and export
corporation policy/ industrial policy of the State Govt. have provision for co-existence
of residential and industrial establishment in industrial parks./ focal points. The
committee also observed that new sophisticated technological development today
enable us to curb the levels of pollutants from various categories of industries
climinating or substantially minimizing the ill effects of industrial emission/ discharge.
The pressure of ever increasing population, fast urbanization and nearly double digit
economic growth make it imperative that natural resources including land, are
optimally utilized. This calls for co-existence of residential projects and industry of
course, with proper safe guard measures.
3. And whereas, it was noticed that no such minimum distance in locating
residential colony/ commercial complexes from existing industrial complex has been
fixed either by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, the Ministry of
Environment & Forest, Govt. of India, or other State Pollution Control Boards from
where information could be obtained. Noticing further that in case of air and water
pollution, prescription of any such distance say 500 metres or even 100 metres, may
become more or less fruitless because pollution if created shall spread beyond the
prescribed distance. The Bhopal gas tragedy is too recent to be forgotten. Therefore, the
focus has to be on strict and rigid pollution and risk control measures. Fortunately, the
Pollution Control Acts, provides a comprehensive system and mechanism, laying
standard and norms which the committee recommended, should be vigorously
enforced, Primarily, the committee observed that the need was to ensure public safety
for which the distance from source of hazard was relevant for locating residential
colony/ commercial Complex.
4. And whereas, the committee also held a public hearing on the issue of evolving
the siting guidelines on 2.6.2007, which was attended by the representatives of the
57
industries as well as representatives of on going residential complexes in the State. It
was pointed out at the time of public hearing that some of the exiting and on going
residential projects are located as per the draft master plan in residential zones/
Municipal area etc. and some of these cases have got a detailed EIA study done and
obtained approval after proper public hearing. It was further represented that the
committee should take into account the huge investments made by the projects
promoters as well as the individual buyers of these properties.
5. And whereas, it was resolved that to solve the issue of sitting in a logical
manner and on permanent basis, there is an urgent need to immediately prepare the
Master Plans for the entire State, designating industrial and residential zones. Once
these plans are in position, the respective activity should be allowed only in the
designated zone, thus eliminating conflict between industrial and residential usage of
land.
6. Accordingly, in suppression of earlier guidelines framed by the Punjab
Pollution Control Board vide letter no. GPC/Gen/4/419/2006/876-96 dt. 17.1.2006 and
any other guidelines/ notification issued by the Board from time to time, the State Govt.
vide its notification no 3/6/07/STE(4)/ 2851 dt. 7.8.2007 laid down the siting policy/
guidelines for establishment of residential colonies, commercial establishment like
shopping malls, multiplexes in the State of Punjab, wherein, a minimum distance of
100 metres from the source of pollution hazard of the Maximum Accident
Hazard(MAH) industries notified by Director General Factory Service Labour Institute
to the building line of residential colonies/ commercial complex was prescribed.
The above said notification was further reviewed by the committee under the
Chairmanship of Chief Secretary, Punjab as per the observations of Hon'ble High Court
in CWP no. 18632 of 2005. This committee further decided to increase the distance of
building line of the coming up residential settlement from the Maximum Accident
Hazardous source from 100 mts to 250 mts. in the above said notification. It was also
decided by this committee that minimum buffer of 15 metres green belt of broadleaf
trees should be provided by the colonizer towards the air polluting industries, boundary
of which are located within 100 metres from the boundary of such air polluting
industries.
Now , therefore, in suppression of earlier notification no 3/6/07/STE (4)/2851
dt. 7.8.2007 issued by the State Govt. and any other guidelines/ notification issued by
the State Govt./ Punjab Pollution Control Board from the exiting industries and in
exercise of the powers conferred under section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act,
1986, read with rules 5(i)(vi) of Environment (Protection) Act 1986, the Governor of
Punjab is Pleased to notify the siting policy/ guidelines for establishment of residential
colonies, commercial establishment like shopping malls, multiplexes in the State of
Punjab as under;
1. The Master Plan is the final legal solution to planned development and hence
the master plans be prepared in a time bound manner on priority.
2. All residential colonies, commercial establishments like shopping malls
multiplexes etc. shall maintain a minimum distance of 250 metres from the
hazardous (Maximum Accident Hazard). Industries notified by Director general
factory Advice Service labour institute. The distance should be measured from
the source of pollution/ hazard (e.g. storage tank, gas chamber etc.) in the
industrial premises to the building lines as per Zoning Plan, of residential
58
colonies/commercial complex. This notification would not have an overriding
affect on any Act/ Rules/Orders of the Govt. of India/ State Govt. which
prescribe a distance of more than 250 metres from such source of hazard and the
said prescribed distance shall be maintained. The notification/ orders issued by
the State Govt./ Punjab Pollution Control Board relating to siting of industries
namely stone crushers, rice shellers, saila plants, brick Klins, cement plants,
grinding units, hot mix plants and other industries shall remain operative and
unaffected by this policy/ notification. In order to resolve any dispute regarding
measurement or other related issues, an inspection committee comprising of
Chairman, Punjab Pollution Control Board or his nominee, Chief Inspector of
Factories, Punjab or his nominee, Chief Town Planner, Punjab or his nominee
and a nominee of the Department of Industries is hereby constituted. This
inspection committee will be headed by the Chairman, Punjab Pollution Control
Board who will also act as convener of the said committee.
3. Minimum buffer of 15 metres green belt of broadleaf trees should be provided
by the colonizer towards the air polluting industries, boundary of which are
located within 100 metres from the boundary of such air polluting industries.
This would be included as a clause both by licencing authorities of Housing
Department as well by Punjab Pollution Control Board. The species/ varieties of
trees shall be decided in consultation with Forest Department.
4. In view of the fact that these guidelines may affect few existing housing
complexes and also that some projects in the pipeline may not be conforming to
the policy and also the fact that huge investments made by the project
proponents and the prospective buyers in the these project, it is decided that all
such project which are not covered under the policy, shall be studied on unit to
unit basis by the above said inspection committee as per the guidelines
prescribed above with Public safety being the prime concern.

Government of Punjab
Department of Housing and Urban Development
(Housing –II Branch)
MEMORANDUM FOR THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS
Minister-in-charge Housing & Urban Development

Minister
Secretary-in-charge Secretary Housing and
Urban Development
Sub :- Concessions for Affordable Housing and Relief to Promoters/

Developers
1.1 Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (CREDAI) and

National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) had submitted
memorandum dated 08.12.2008 and 15.12.2008 respectively to the Chief
Minister, Punjab requesting immediate reliefs/ concessions to real estate sector.
It was requested that due to economic turmoil throughout the would, Real Estate
industry had suffered a lot. In view of the prevailing “high interest rate, Global
Melt down, reduced demand, liquidity crunch, share market crash”, they
demanded reduction in Govt. charges (EDC, License fee, CLU), moratorium on
EDC payment for three years, increase in the period of payment of EDC from
existing three years to seven years and waiver of penal interest on delayed
payment of EDC installments.
1.2 To discuss the above mentioned demands, a meeting was held under the
Chairmanship of Hon’ble Chief Minister on 15.01.2009 and it was decided in
the meeting that the interest rate on payment of E.D.C. shall be charged @ 10%
compound per annum with 3% additional penal interest on delayed payment per
annum effective from 19.9.2007 instead of existing 18% penal interest.
1.3 The neighbouring state of Haryana has also given some concessions in the
interest rate and on the delayed payment of E.D.C. and License fee. On 4.2.09
Haryana Govt. has announced a package extending validity of license period,
doubled the license renewal period from one year to two years, extension of
repayment period of E.D.C. from four years to five years.
1.4 Subsequently CREDAI submitted memoranda dated 05.02.2009 and 13.02.2009
repeating all the previous demands and raised others demands related to Mega
and Super Mega Projects. A meeting was held on 13.02.2009 under the
Chairmanship of Deputy Chief Minister, Punjab with the members of CREDAI
at New Delhi. In the meeting, it was emphasized by all the CREDAI members
that liquidity crunch, reduced demand and high interest rate on borrowing have
adversely effected the working of entire real estate sector. Liquidity crunch and
73
high cost of capital have compelled many companies to, defer or scrap their
ongoing projects and also compelled them to default on payment of Govt. dues.
They drew the attention of Dy. C.M. to the economic stimulus package
announced by Govt. of India/ Reserve Bank of India on 07.12.2008 which inter-
alia emphasized that to promote the construction sector, the interest rate on
borrowing by the builders be reduced and in the face of current economic down
turn, it was decided to extend exception /special treatment to the commercial
real estate exposures.
It was also brought to the notice of all participants that the National
Urban Habitat and Housing Policy 2007 adopts the goal of affordable housing
for all. In this context Kumari Selja. Central Minister of State (Independent
Charge) for Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, GOI, wrote a
D.O. letter dated 29.12.2008 to Chief Minister, Punjab emphasizing the urgent
need for Govt. intervention to accelerate weaker section housing. It has also
been conveyed by the Secretary to GOI, Ministry of housing and Urban Poverty
Alleviation, Govt. of India, vide letter no. D.O. 17034/130/2007-H(Part) dated
Jan. 03, 2009, that housing construction at this stage obtains urgency in view of
present downturn and there is a need to stimulate demand by taking advantage
of high multiplier effect of housing construction on inputs manufacturing,
employment generation and income creation. All the members of CREDAI also
pointed out that the neighbouring state Haryana has already announced
stimulus/ concession package for real estate sector.
1.5 In view of the foregoing it has been proposed to extend the following
concessions to Mega/ Super Mega/ other projects.
I. Moratorium on payment of External Development Charges till
31.12.2009. This will be applicable to installments falling due after
01.01.2009. However, during this period the promoters shall pay interest
but no penal interest will be charged. On account of non payment of due
charges during this period, his new project shall not be held up because
of outstanding payment in other projects, provided the promoter gives an
undertaking that he is ready and bound to pay the charges of those
projects as demanded/ determined. Promoters will get a discount of 5%
on prepayment within two months of raising the demand on the pattern
of properties auctioned by PUDA.
II. Reduction in penal interest on over due charges from 18% per annum to
3% per annum over and above the normal interest @ 10% compound per
annum w.e.f. 19.09.2007.
III. If any promoter creates any infrastructure with prior permission of
concerned Urban Development Authority outside his project that falls
within the definition of external development, then he should be given
credit at PWD rates.
IV. Parking norms in case of group housing be reduced from 2 ECS to 1.5
ECS per 100 sq. mtr. of covered area.
V. Phasing in the super mega projects be permitted as already permitted in
other projects.
VI. Laying of cables by PSEB shall be along the roads where the Master
Plan has been prepared so as to stop the practice of laying cables across
74
promoter’s area.
VII. Presently, before CLU is granted ownership is verified by the concerned
SDM, which delays the approval because the SDM's are not available in
their offices due to their multifarious duties. The procedure needs to be
changed. Instead of SDM this verification be got done from Circle
Revenue Officers.
VIII. Stamp duty / Registration Fee/Social Security Cess on purchase of land
for financially weaker section housing as per the prevalent policy of
Punjab Govt. in any part of the State and/ or in earmarked Zones shall be
refunded. Similarly, refund will be given on Stamp Duty/ Registration
Fee/Social Security Cess on transfer of houses to the poor people. These
relaxations are however, subject to the condition that the promoter/
builders will have to construct all financially weaker section housing
units within 3 (three) years from the date of grant of license or
exemption from license.
IX. For reducing the cost of financially weaker section houses, there will be
no CLU charges, External development charges (EDC) and License Fee/
permission fee. on the land earmarked for financially weaker section
houses. There will also be exemption on VAT for the construction
materials used for financially weaker section housing, however the
amount of refund shall be restricted to quantities as per P.W.D. norms.
In all Master Plans, specific areas may be earmarked in Land Use for
financially Weaker section housing which should be at least 10% of the
residential zone. In such areas, there will be Zero CLU, EDC and
License Fee on residential and institutional pockets.
X. The Government will prescribe the cost and procedure of allotment.
Allotment process shall be monitored by the Govt./Urban Development
Authority.
XI. The plot/ house/ flat allotted to low income segment households would
be generally in the name of the woman (to the extent possible) or joint
name of wife and husband with the condition that the same would not be
transferred till the expiry of 10 years period and the sale of that house
even on power of attorney will not be permitted.
XII. Government of India, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development
Poverty Alleviation has also issued guidelines to amend the bye-laws to
contribute a fixed percentage area for construction of Economically
Weaker Section (EWS)/Lower Income Group (LIG) houses for
achieving the social objective after the repeal of urban land (Ceiling and
Regulations) Act, 1976. As per the present provision of PAPRA colony
below 40 hectare is not bound to reserve the prescribed area financially
weaker section houses. In view of the services provided by lower
income groups in day to day life in any colony, it is essential that
financially weaker section houses are provided in each and every colony
to check the menace of jhuggis. Therefore, the area for financially
weaker section houses needs to be earmarked in every colony
irrespective of the size.
75

1.7 Before placing the memorandum to CMM, the matter was referred to the
Department of Finance for advice. However, the advice has not been received
so far. The department may give its advice in the meeting of CMM.
Department of Legal and Legislative Affairs for advice. The advice given by the
Department of Legal and Legislative Affairs is as under:
“2. By sending a copy of memorandum, which is proposed to be placed
before the Council of Minister for approval, the A.D. has sought advice with
regard to the portion, which relates to the Department of Legal and Legislative
Affairs. In this regard, it may be pointed out that the cases are not referred to
this department for advice in the way, in which the instant case has been sent. In
fact, advice of this department is sought by the A.D. on a legal issue by taking a
conscious decision in this regard before referring the matter to the Cabinet. As
envisaged in the rules, after seeking advice from this department, the same is
76
incorporated in the memorandum and only thereafter, it is placed before the
Council of Minister. But this procedure has not been followed in this case.
3. Any how, as desired , the memorandum has been examined by this
department as a special case and on scrutiny, it has been found that para 1.6 of
the memorandum relates to making of amendment in the rules framed under the
Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995 and the Punjab Regional
and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995. But the intention of the A.D.
has not been properly reflected because rules have been indicated of the Acts
whereas the names of the relevant rules of which the rules in question are part,
should have been indicated. However, position with regard to the rules
mentioned in sub-paras (a) and (b) of para 1.6 of the memorandum, is as under:-
(a) It appears that the intention is to make the proposed amendment in
clause (a) of sub-rule (1) of rule 10 of the Punjab Apartment and
Property Regulation Rules, 1995. This rule has been made under section
5(1) read with section 45(2) (c) of the aforesaid Act of 1995.
Sub-section (1) of section 5 of the Act ibid says that any
promoter, who desires to develop a land into a colony, shall make an
application in the prescribed form alongwith the prescribed information
and with the prescribed fee to the competent authority for grant of
permission for the same and separate permission will be necessary for
each colony. It is, thus, clear that the fee is to be prescribed.
The term “prescribed” has been defined in clause (x) of section 2
of the said Act of 1995 ‘as prescribed by rules made under this Act’.
Therefore, fee is to be prescribed in the rules whereas by the proposed
amendment, an enabling provision is intended to be made to prescribe
this fee by notification. The Legislature has delegated power to the
executive i.e. to the State Government for prescribing fee by way of
rules only, therefore, this power can not further be delegated. Therefore,
the proposed amendment is not in consonance with the provisions of the
said Act.
(b) In sub-rule (2) of rule 71 of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and
Development (General) Rules, 1995, eighteen per cent rate of interest
has been prescribed. This rule has been made under section 161 read
with section 180(2) of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and
Development Act, 1995. Section 161 of the Act ibid interalia provides
for the payment of such development charges as may be fixed by the
State Government having regard to the expenses to be incurred for
providing such amenities and the benefits to be extended to the land or
building. It does not specifically envisage the prescription of
development charges by way of rules. The development charges may be
fixed by the State Government by way of notification or an order as the
Government may deem appropriate.
Memo No. 715/Leg. 91/2009 Dt. 19.2.09
In view of this advice of the Legal Rememberancer and Secretary to
Government of Punjab, the expression ‘Government’ in the proposed provision
under para 1.6 (a) is replaced by the expression ‘State Government’.
77
Department of Excise and Taxation for advice. The advice given by the
Department of Excise and Taxation is as under:
“Agreed. This is what was recorded in the minutes of the meeting taken by CM
on 24.2.08."
I.D. No. Nil Dt. 19.2.2009
Financial Commissioner (Revenue) for advice. The advice given by the
Department of Revenue is as under:
“The Department of Revenue and Rehabilitation has already given the
concurrence for exemption of stamp duty and registration fee on Habitat Policy
vide I.D. No. 16/18/08-ST.II/5345, dated 9.7.08. So far as issue now involved

provision in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 and Registration Act, 1908 for refund
of Stamp Duty/Registration Fee/Social Security Cess (Additional Stamp Duty)
already paid on the documents executed on proper receipt. However, the matter
regarding refund of Stamp Duty/ Registration Fee/Social Security Cess can be
considered by the Department of Revenue and Rehabilitation only with the
approval of Department of Finance”.
I.D. No. 16/18/08-S.T.2/1504 Dt. 19.2.2009
In view of this advice of the Financial Commissioner Revenue, the
expressions ‘refunded’ and ‘refund’ in para 1.5 (VIII) are replaced by the expressions
‘exempted/refunded’ and ‘exemption/refund’.

colonies available at affordable prices by reducing Licence feel/EDC etc. wherever
possible.
Whereas real estate industry, due to economic turmoil throughout the world,

ORDER
1. WHEREAS the Government of Punjab, being a Welfare State, is committed to

provide affordable housing for the economically weaker sections (EWS) of the society
including the urban poor most of whom come to towns in search of a better life and end
up in filthy slums bereft even of the basic amenities like clean water and drains.
2. AND WHEREAS, under the present circumstances of sky rocketing cost of
construction, the Government feels that even a 400-450 sq. ft. dwelling unit, is
unaffordable for a family belonging to the EWS. As such there is need for subsidizing
housing for this segment of society.
3. AND WHEREAS with the above background, GMADA has framed a policy
under whih 40% of land reserved for EWS, in Mega Projects as well as in colonies
licensed under the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995, will be de-
reserved for use by the developers/promoters as residential plots/flats in lieu and
promoters/developers shall construct the specified number of EWS flats on the
remaining 60% area as per the drawings and specifications approved by GMADA
alongwith the common infrastructure/ amenities.
4. NOW THEREFORE, in order to enable the Competent Authority to implement
the above said policy in the area falling within the jurisdiction of GMADA, the State
Government in exercise of its powers conferred under Section 44(2) of the Punjab
Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995, relaxes the provisions of Section 5(9) of
the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995 to the extent proposed in para
3 above in GMADA area for a period of one year from the date of issuance of this
order.

(Protection) Rules, 1986 vide order no, 10/48/2004-STE-4/4061-77 dated 13/9/2006
had laid down siting guidelines including code of practice for setting up of new rice
shellers and saila plants in the State of Punjab.
2. And whereas, some residents of the State of Punjab have challenged the
improper storage and handling of rice husk by rice shelling units before the Hon'ble
Punjab & Haryana High Court by way of filing CWP No. 15853 of 2006 titled as
Gurmukh Singh v/s State of Punjab, CWP No. 2450 of 2007 titled as Puran Singh v/s
State of Punjab and CWP No. 14933 of 2007 titled as Gurdip Singh and another v/s
State of Punjab. The said CWPs are pending for adjudication before Hon’ble Punjab
and Haryana Court. And the Hon’ble High Court has passed an interim order on
15.11.2011 in the aforesaid CWPs as under:-
"On the basis of the aforesaid order in Para 8. the Pollution Control Board has
stated that it has technically examined the matter with regard to all the recommendations
of the Central Pollution Control Board relating to guidelines for handling & storage and
transportation of rice husk/ash and as well as siting guidelines for rice shelling units which
have been attached in a tabular form. It has further been stated in Para 9 that the
recommendation made by the Central Pollution Control Board relating to handling,
storage and transportation Of rice husk/ash as mentioned in tabular form C were
sustainable except the one which deals with utilization exploring the possibility of ash
utilization in making bricks or use in cement plants instead of disposal. It was also
suggested by the Central Pollution Control Board that the possibility of use of ash in
cement plants, controlled burning of rice husk in the boiler may be adopted through the use
of preferably fluidized bed boiler such that unburnt carbon in ash is below 8 per cent. The
aforesaid recommendation alone was the exception.
However, in the latest status filed by the Principal Secretary, further time is sought
for implementation of the guidelines issued by the Central Pollution Control Board in
respect of handling, transportation, storage and disposal of ash so necessarily this deals
with the wet ash emerging from saila rice plants. The steps may be taken by the State of
Punjab — respondent Nos. 1 & 2 for finally deciding the issue within a period of six weeks
so that proper mechanism is in place to control the pollution which is being caused by the
rice shellers/saila rice plants.
The status report be filed a week before the adjourned date.
List again on 18.01.2012.
A photocopy of this order be placed on the files of each connected case.

CHAPTER 12
AGRO INSUSTIRAL POLICY, 2009
12.1 INTRODUCTION
12.1.1 Punjab has been in the forefront of the Green Revolution in the late sixties and
the seventies, with rich agricultural base. This, together with good
infrastructure, particularly a network of good roads and communications, as
well as enterprising people, provides excellent pre-conditions for an industrial
take-off. At present, the agro processing industry in Punjab is confined to low
value addition items like oil extraction, manufacture of bakery items, milling
etc. the major reason for absence of high value addition in food processing is
that it lacks major investment in infrastructure in terms of cold chains,
introduction of new technologies & up-gradation of existing technologies/
infrastructure.
12.1.2 The State has achieved highest productivity levels in the production of wheat,
paddy, tomatoes, potatoes, maize, cotton, citrus, etc. Punjab producted 15.7
million metric tones of wheat (2007-08), which is more than 20% of country's
production and 10.5 million metric tons (2007-08) of rice accounting for 11% of
country's production. Punjab also produced large quantity of cotton fibre i.e.
around 0.4 million tons (2007-08) which is approx 9% of country's production
Punjab's. Agricultural yields coupled with delivering the right quality at a
competitive price to different markets would be necessary while renewing
efforts towards ongoing diversification.
12.1.3 However, Punjab's average cumulative growth in agriculture sector during 2001
to 2007 has come down to 2.2% as against 3.2% in the country. Similarly,
average cumulative growth of industry in the GDP of Punjab during the same
period has come down to 4.2% against 7% in the country. Share of industry in
the GDP of Punjab is 17.7%, which is much less than the states with similar per
capita income in the country.
12.1.4 While Punjab possesses competitive advantage of lowest farm gate prices in
several crops like wheat, paddy, cotton and horticulture crops such as potatoes,
citrus, chilly, etc. this advantage is often frittered away due to lack of
secondary/tertiary level processing facilities and lack of market information and
marketing support. Numerous middlemen add to wastages from the farm gate to
the final consumer leading to price trade-up. Farmers realize a mere 25-30% of
the final consumer price as opposed to 60-70% in well developed agricultural
market.
12.1.5 It is necessary that the agro industrial sector delivers adequate return on
invested capital by operating throughout the year by integration of industry with
the agro farms. A twin pronged strategy of improving agricultural yields
coupled with delivering the right quality at a competitive price to different
markets would be necessary while renewing efforts towards ongoing
diversification.
179
12.1.6 The agro industry needs to concentrate on primary, secondary and processing
leading to higher levels of value addition for better returns. Centres for Agri &
Food processing technologies would be set up to develop technologies suitable
to local produce and to meet quality and safety standards for exports. To
develop human resources for the Agro & food Processing industries, specific
courses with contents to meet the industry requirements would be introduced at
all suitable levels in relevant institutes. Industry would have direct interface
with the centers for development of technologies and the institutes providing
courses in Agro/Food Processing sectors.
12.1.7 The incentives provided under the industrial Policy 2003, taxation structure and
infrastructure requirements to boost investment in agriculture sector were
discussed with the various stakeholders in the industry viz. their associations
namely CII, FICCI, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Progressive Farmers, etc.
The suggestions so received were considered for inclusion in the New Agro
Industrial Policy.
12.2 OBJECTIVES
12.2.1 This Policy endeavors to make Punjab, the destination of choice for investors
and processors, both global and domestic.
12.2.2 Punjab has vast untapped potential in agro industrial sector, which could be
used advantageously to achieve multiple goal viz. increased income for farmers,
rural industrialization, employment generation, better quality products to
consumers. This can be achieved by new investments in agro industries by
national/multinational companies. The broad objectives of agro industrial policy
are as under :-
(i) To increase flow of investments in agriculture and agro industries so as
to establish backward and forward linkages.
(ii) To accelerate a close interface between research extension mechanisms,
industry, farmers, markets and consumers.
(iii) To increase value addition thereby increasing income of farmers, traders
and delivering better quality products to consumers.
(iv) To create modern supply-chain infrastructure needed for agro industrial
development and marketing of agri produce.

PROCEEDING OF THE MEETING HELD UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF
SHRI S.C. AGRAWAL, IAS, CHIEF SECRETARY, PUNJAB ON 28.1.2010 AT
10.00 A.M. IN HIS OFFICE ROOM TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE REGARDING
CONCESSIONS TO HOTEL & HEALTH TOURISM PROJECTS UNDER
INDUSTRIAL POLICY, 2009
Present:-
1. Shri S.S. Channy, IAS
Principal Secretary Industries & Commerce, Punjab
2. Mrs. Geetika Kalha, IAS
Principal Secretary, Tourism, Punjab
3. Shri Arun Goel, IAS,
Principal Secretary, Irrigation & Power, Punjab
4. Shri S.S. Bains, IAS,
Director Industries & Commerce, Punjab
5. Shri Tejwant Singh
Chief Engineer (Commercial)k, PSEB
6. Shri Kuldip Singh
Chief Town Planner, Punjab
7. Shri V.N. Mathur,
Chief Coordinator, Udyog Sahayak
At the outset, Principal Secretary Industries & Commerce mentioned that under
the Industrial Policy, 2009, status of Industry has been given to Hotels in the non-
designated area. Similarly, status of industry has also been given to the Health Tourism
projects. It is, therefore, necessary to clarify about the concessions which will be
admissible to such projects by virtue of this provision in the Industrial Policy.
Thereafter, these issues were discussed in detail as under:-
Hotel Projects
Principal Secretary, Tourism mentioned that development of Hotels needs to be
encouraged in the State. However, it was felt that it may not be appropriate to make the
land available to Hotels at the cost of manufacturing industry in view of the scarcity of
land in the State. After detailed discussion, following decisions were taken:-
1. Department of Housing & Urban Development will consider the feasibility of
earmarking certain areas for Hotel/Tourism projects within the Master Plan and
outside the local planning area in consultation with the Department of Tourism.
2. Proposal regarding rates of Change of Land Use, External Development

Charges and License Fee to such projects will be framed by the Department of
Housing & Urban Development in consultation with the Department of Tourism
and Department of Finance.
3. Regarding Power Tariff, it was clarified by the Principal Secretary, Power and
PSEB that for this approval of Punjab Electricity Regulatory Commission is
required. It was decided that case will be referred to the Commission by the
Board for requisite approval.
219
4. It was clarified that Hotels can not come up in the Industrial Component of
Industrial Park because the primary objective of encouraging development of
Industrial Parks is to make available more land for manufacturing units.
5. Department of Tourism will prescribe the Guidelines for Farm Tourism/Bed &
Breakfast Tourism/Rented accommodation covered under Industrial Policy and
convey the same to the Department of Industry and other concerned
departments.
HEALTH TOURISM PROJECTS

1. Department of Medical Education & Research will define such projects and also
prescribe eligibility criteria in consultation with Department of Health and
Department of Tourism. These details will be conveyed to the Department of
Industries and other concerned Departments.
2. It was felt that since the Industrial Policy provides that such projects will be
given the facility of using upto 25% of the medical facility and other services
areas of commercial purposes without payment of Change of Land Use charges,
therefore, EDC and Licence Fee may be applicable to the projects as per the
prevailing rates for hospitals for the entire area, including the commercial area.
3. Regarding Power Tariff, it was clarified by the Principal Secretary, Power and
Representative of PSEB that there is already a separate category of bulk supply
charges applicable to hospitals for the entire area, including the commercial
area.
4. Such projects could be considered for giving land in Industrial Components of
the Focal Point/Industrial Park.
Meeting ended with a Vote of Thanks to the Chair.

Memo No. 2151-64 CTP(PB)/ SP-135/ SP-421
Dt. Chandigarh the 26.3.2010
Subject: Letter/Certificate regarding designations of Area/Land Use Pattern
to Industrial units.
It has been brought to the notice of the undersigned that some industrial
project proponents when apply to District Town Planners offices to seek clarification
regarding the designation/land use of the site, are not being replied properly. The
Punjab Pollution Control Board informed that board has directed its officials to allow
any new project only if it meets the Land Use Pattern requirement. You are, therefore,
directed to issue the following letter promptly at your own level as and when the
project proponents apply or any such reference is received from the Punjab Pollution
Control Board:-
1. If the site of industry falls in any of the notified/statutory/non statutory Master
Plan or Local Planning Area, a letter clearly stating the Land Use Pattern of the
site whether the proposed project is being set up in the area designated for such
kinds of projects or not, be intimated by the District Town Planner at its own
level. If CLU is required this should also be intimated.
2. Where no notified/statutory/non statutory Master Plan exists and no Local
Planning Area is declared, a letter stating that the proposed site of the industrial
project is not covered by any notified/statutory or non statutory Master Plan or
Local Planning Area. However, in such case, it should be mentioned that the
applicant shall leave the required strip of land on front of the site to widen the
abutting road to 40', if the width is less to 40'. In such area's which are not
covered under Master Plan or Notified Planning Areas, Change of Land Use is
not required.
You are also directed to ensure that this information should be provided
within seven days of the receipt of request or reference under intimation to Punjab
Pollution Control Board.

Proceedings of the meeting held under the Chairmanship of Shri S.C. Aggarwal,
IAS, Chief Secretary, Punjab in his office room on 26.7.2011 at 4:30 p.m. to
discuss the issue regarding grant of CLU and levy of External Development
Charges under Clause 7.2 and 7.3 of Industrial Policy, 2009.
Present:-
1. Shri S.S. Channy, IAS, Principal Secretary Industries & Commerce.
2. Shri S.S. Sandhu, IAS, Secretary Housing & Urban Development.
3. Shri K.S. Dhaliwal, Chief Town Planner
4. Shri V.N. Mathur, Chief Coordinator, Udyog Sahayak.
Details given in the Agenda were perused and following decisions were
taken:-
1. Change of Land Use
It was informed by the Secretary Housing & Urban Development that in order
to avoid haphazard growth of Industry, it is necessary that approval for Change
of Land Use is obtained by the Industry. It was also mentioned that with a view
to determine the authenticity of the ownership of land, it has been decided to get
report from Circle Revenue Officer (CRO) of the area where land is located.
Further, it has also been decided to have the External Development Charges
deposited from the applicant before approval for change of Land use is granted.
It was, however, agreed that the Change of Land Use should be granted in a
time bound manner. In order to simplify the procedure, it was decided that
within 7 days of submission of complete documents including CRO report,
Chief Town Planner will issue Demand Notice for EDC to the applicant. The
entire process of granting CLU to the applicant will be completed within 23
days.
2. External Development Charges
It was informed by the Secretary, Housing & Urban Development that the
option of getting the External Development works executed from the concerned
Development Agency of the area by depositing the actual charges by the
entrepreneur or to execute such works of their own by the entrepreneur in
accordance with the plan/structures approved by the Development Agency is
not practically feasible. Besides, this may ultimately lead to the deposit of more
charges by the entrepreneur than the rates of EDC prescribed by the State
Government.
After detailed discussion, it was agreed that before taking a final view in the
matter, Department of Housing & Urban Development may study specific cases
where the entrepreneurs have opted to get the External Development works
executed of their own. Any such request from the Industry which might be
pending in the Department of Industries will be sent to the Chief Town Planner
who will submit his report to the Department of Industries so that final view
could be taken in the matter.
Meeting ended with a Vote of Thanks to the Chair.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
Policy for Land Acquisition
The land acquisition for public purposes is inevitable in a growing economy.

The compulsory acquisition of land is done under the provisions of the Land
Acquisition Act, 1894. The procedure for land acquisition in Punjab has been laid down
in the Standing Order No.28 of the FCR. Whenever the land is compulsorily acquired,
it hurts the interest of land owners and they feel that they are not adequately
compensated. They arc also deprived of their means of livelihood in some cases and
therefore, are required to be rehabilitated. There is a need to strike a balance, while
acquiring land, to ensure that land is made available for public purposes and at the same
time the farmers are adequately, compensated and rehabilitated, As such it is desirable
that compulsory acquisition of land is kept to the minimum.
2. The expression "Public Purpose" as defined u/s 3(i)of the Land Acquisition Act,
1894 includes:-
i) The provision of village-sites or the extension, planned development or
improvement of existing village-sites;
ii) ii) The provision of land for town or rural planning;
iii) The provision of land for planned development of land from public
funds in pursuance of any scheme or policy of Government and.
subsequent disposal thereof in whole or in part by lease assignment or
outright sale with the object of securing further development as planned;
iv) The provision of land for a corporation owned or controlled by the State;
v) The provision of land for residential purposes to the poor or landless or
to persons residing in areas affected by natural calamities, or to persons
displaced or affected by reason 'of the implementation of any scheme
undertaken by Government, any local authority or a corporation owned
or controlled by the State;
vi) The provision of land for carrying out any educational, housing, health
or slum clearance scheme sponsored by Government or by any authority
established by Government for carrying out any scheme, or, with the
prior approval of the appropriate Government by a local authority, or a
society registered under the Societies RegistrationAct,1860, or under
any corresponding law for the time being in force in a State, or a co-
operative society within the meaning of any law, relating to co-operative
societies for the time being in force in any State;
vii) The provision of land for any other scheme of development sponsored
Government; or, with the prior approval of the appropriate Government,
by a local authority;
viii) The provision of any premises or building for locating a public office,
but does not include acquisition of land for Companies.
387
3. It has been felt that land should normally be acquired through negotiations.
Compulsory acquisition may be done only after paying adequate compensation
at market. value and providing for rehabilitation of the landowners, for a public
purpose listed below, 'which list is illustrative and not exhaustive:-
i) Public buildings such as schools, hospitals, veterinary dispensaries, bus
stands and railway stations etc. and offices/residences 'for Govt. and its
entities.
ii) ii) Physical infrastructure such as roads, water supply and sewerage,
public works, canal and other irrigation networks, ports and airports etc.
iii) Urban infrastructure projects such as setting up of townships, housing,
slum clearance schemes, industrial estates and other infrastructure
relating thereto and planned development of land from public funds etc.
4 Indiscriminate acquisition should not be resorted to by PUDA or any other
urban development agencies and prime focus should be acquisition for
economically and socially backward groups.
5. The land for Industrial parks, projects and urban development projects such as
residential colonies and commercial establishments for development by private
sector will be acquired through negotiation with the land owners. However, land
not exceeding 20% of the total project, may be compulsorily acquired by the
government at their cost to provide contiguity and connectivity for such projects
after paying' adequate compensation to the farmers and undertaking their
rehabilitation.
6. It has been noted that sometimes land acquisition proceedings are initiated by
Administrative Departments indiscriminately, some times for a purpose which
can he achieved otherwise by acquiring land through negotiations by the private
sector. Therefore, al1 proposals for acquisition of land u/s 4 may first be
referred to the State Level Land Acquisition. Board (SLLAB). The SLLAB may
consider the proposal of the Administrative Department and issue a No
Objection Certificate within one month of receipt of the proposal, if the
acquisition is found to be for a public purpose as illustrated above. While doing
so SLLAB will ensure that NOC is granted for the minimum land required for
the public purpose.
7. It has been noted that due to delay in the land acquisition proceedings, there. is
great variation in the land prices as on the date of notification u/s 4 and the date
on which the award is announced and possession is taken. The land owners who
except to be compensated adequately, feel aggrieved when they are offered
compensation at the rates prevailing on the date of notification u/s 4. Therefore,
the time period between the issue of notification u/s 4 and declaration u/s 6 shall
be confined to 6 months only. The Administrative Department must issue the
declaration u/s 6 within a period of 6 months of the notification u/s 4 of the Act.
Similarly, the time period between date of issue of declaration u/s 6 of the Act
and the announcement of award shall also be confined to " 6 months. If the
award is not announced within 6 months of the issue of declaration u/s 6, the
acquisition proceedings will lapse and will have to be started de novo, if
required.
8. To make the process of land acquisition more transparent, the market value of
the land shall be determined within a period of 3 months from the date of issue
388
of notification u/s 4 of the Act and shall be incorporated in the
declaration/notification to be issued u/s 6 of the Act.
9. 'The compensation award should be based on the market value of the land being
acquired. The District level Committee should take into account the actual
market rates prevailing in the area and then make its recommendations. An
additional "no litigation premium" would be provided on the determined market
value of the land in case of compulsory acquisition @ 10% of this value. This
will encourage better compliance and cut delay on land acquisition due to Court
interventions. An attempt should also be made to have a negotiated settlement
with the land owners, before the rates are recommended by District level
Committee to the Government.
10. PUDA and other Development Authorities such as GMADA, PDA, PSIEC and
Improvement Trusts shall prepare schemes such as Land Pooling Scheme,
oustee policy etc. where the land owner is given some developed land in lieu of
compensation or is provided developed land on reserved price in addition to
compensation given to him on market rates. Such schemes cannot however be
implemented where the land is not being acquired for residential or Industrial
Estates.
11. The land owners and other persons dependent on the land being - acquired are
immediately deprived of their livelihood, as soon as possession of the land is
taken by the acquiring Department. The land owners and other affected families
shall: be rehabilitated in accordance with the provisions of "National Policy on
Resettlement and Rehabilitation for Project Affected Farmers-2003".
12. On approval of the policy, the Standing order No.28: of FCR shall be amended
accordingly to implement the same.

ROUGH COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF ACQUIRING LAND FOR
DEVELOPMENT ON SHARING BASIS WITH LAND OWNER.
Development cost (Reported by C.E., GMADA) Per acre
Internal Development
External Development
]
Rs 100 crore
Miscellaneous expenditure = Rs. 0.35 crore

Total = Rs. 1.35 crore (A)
Taking 1.00 acre land for analysis
Out of 1 acre of 4840 sq. yds. 50% land is available for sale & 50% for common
services.
Distribution of 50% land for sale Authority's share Farmer's share
Residential 1936 Sq. yds 968 Sq. yds. 968 sq. yds.
Commercial 242 sq. yds 121 sq. yds 121 sq. yds.
Institutional 242 sq. yds. 242 sq. yds.
Returns to Authority
1. Residential = 968sq. yds x Rs. 9000
Rs. 0.87 crore
2. Commercial = 121 x Rs. 27000
Rs. 0.32 crores
3. Institutional = 242 x Rs. 18000
Rs. 0.44 crores
Total = Rs. 1.63 crores (B)
Profit (B-A) = Rs. 1.63 - Rs. 1.35 = Rs. 0.28 crore
Note: Rs. 9000/- per Sq yd. is taken for Residential plot and taking this figure as (x),
2x is taken for institutional & 3x for commercial) Land owners share
1. Residential = 968 x Rs. 9000
Rs. 0.87 crore
2. Commercial = 121 x Rs. 27000
Rs. 0.33 crore
Total share of land owner = Rs. 0.87 + Rs. 0.33
Rs. 1.20 crore (C)
Thus
Net gain to GMADA = Rs. 1.63-Rs. 1.35 = Rs. 0.28 crore.
Net gain to Farmer = Rs. 1.20 crores -Rs. 0.85 crore (the present
value of land per acre in Mohali)
= Rs. 0.35 crores.

on 25/05/2009 which interalia includes demand for reduction in EDC charges,

Associations of promoters/colonizers met Deputy Chief Minister, Punjab at Ludhiana
and demands for reduction in area norms for colony, reduction in EDC charges,
reduction in area norms for group housing etc. were made. The confederation
demanded concession/relaxation in view of difficult time being faced by the Realty
sector.
During discussion it emerged that due to global economic meltdown in many
cities/towns, demand for retail space has come down drastically. Secondly as a result of
high cost of acquisition of land, high cost of capital & reduce demand, viability of
many projects have been adversely affected.
After due deliberation the following decisions were taken.
2. Wherever zonal/sector plans have been notified in GMADA area, Punjab High
Potential zone-Category I & II and Medium Potential zone-Category I & II, the
minimum area for developing a residential colony within such approved
zonal/sector plan shall be 25 acres. In low potential zone Category I & II, the
minimum area for residential colony shall be reduced from 25 acres to 10 acres.
However, no minimum area norm shall apply in case of the left over pocket,
i.e., where on all the sides the construction has already taken place.
3. In case of Group Housing Projects outside GMADA area, the minimum area of
projects shall be reduced from 10 acres to 5 acres. In case of housing for
financial weaker sections, as notified in this department's policy of November,
2008, this minimum area shall be 2.5 acres.
405
4. As per the existing policy of Department of Housing and Urban Development
minimum area norm for commercial project outside GMADA area is 2 acres for
Punjab except for jurisdiction of ULBs where it is 4000 sq. mts. After making
comparisons with norms of Haryana, Delhi, it was decided that in case of
commercial pockets within municipal committee/Corporation limits (excluding
GMADA), the norms for minimum area shall be the same as notified by the
Department of Local Government. However outside municipal
committee/Corporation limits (excluding GMADA region), the minimum area
norms shall be reduced from 2 acres to 1000 sqmts. Such plots must have a
front of at least 20 mts. However, this shall be subject to the conditions imposed
in the respective master plans.
5. During discussion, it was brought to notice that parking norms for
retails/shopping, in Bangalore is 2 ECS/100 sqmts., in Hyderabad is 2 ECS/100
sqmts., and in Mumbai 1 ECS/100 sqmts., in Gurgaon 2 ECS/100 Sqmts., in
Noida 1 ECS/100 sqmts., In Punjab also for Municipal Corporation/Committee
area for retail it is 20% of plot area in case of plot of 50 Sq. Yds., 25% in the
case plot upto 125 Sq. Yds. and maximum upto 50% Sq. Yds., for plot above
500 Sq. Yds. and for multiplex it is 1 ECS/40 Sq. yds. Hence, it was decided
that in case of parking for commercial projects, having no multiplexes, the
minimum parking norms shall be 2 ECS/100 sqm. of covered area in place of
the existing norm of 3 ECS/100 sqm. ara. In case of commercial projects having
multiplexes/cinemas/theatres, the minimum parking required shall be 3
ECS/100 sqm. of covered area in respect of multiplexes/cinemas/theatres
component +30% of total covered area of that component and 2 ECS/100 sqm.
of covered area in respect of the balance commercial component + circulation
area. Parking norms within Municipal Committee limits shall be the same as
notified by the Department of Local Government.
6. Any builder shall be charged CLU @ as on the date of issuance of CLU.
Similarly, he shall be charged EDC, License/Permission Fee as on the date of
issue/exemption of License under PAPRA, or the date of approval of building
plan/exemption of License/ Permission or the LOI/Agreement do not explicitly
mention that the Developer is liable to revised conversion charges or EDC or
License/Permission Fee or it is not mentioned any where that the payment of
these charges was on account basis', such Developers shall not be liable for any
revised charges and hence the notices issued to them shall stand revoked.
7. As per the Cabinet decision, dated 20.02.2009, the moratorium is effected w.e.f.
1.1.2009. Thus, EDC falling due after 1.1.09, if not paid till 31.12.2009, shall
not be liable for penal interest but shall be liable for regular interest only.
However, the EDC falling due on or before 31.12.2008 shall, if not paid, be
liable for both the penal interest and the regular interest. But on account of non
payment of the charges falling due on or before 31.12.2008, promoters shall not
be considered defaulter in any manner and his subsequent clearances/projects
shall not be stopped.
Similarly in the cabinet meeting dated 20.02.2009 it was decided to waive CLU
charges, External Development Charge (EDC) and licence fee/permission fee
for financially weaker section houses. It is clarified that such charges shall not
be applicable to all previously approved (prior to 20.02.2009) cases also where
allotment of houses is yet to be done.
406
8. In case of colonies the land earmarked for social infrastructure, like schools and
hospitals, are to be got developed by the Developer either at his own level or
through any body else. Therefore, the liability of providing same infrastructure
continues to remain of the Developer. However, the Developer may sell or lease
out such land to anybody for the purpose for which its land use has been
determined in the approved lay out plan. In case promoter fails to do the above,
he shall transfer such land to the state Government free of cost or upon payment
of actual cost of developed land as decided by the state Government, which
shall be at liberty to transfer such land to any local authority or any person or
institution on such terms and condition as it may deem fit.

accordance with the excess demand raised by the Development Authority, the
Authority shall pay interest to the Developer at the rate fixed by SBI for a FD of
180 days, as on 1st April of that financial year. In 2007, on account of directions
of Hon'ble High Court, certain CLUs were suspended/withdrawn and later on
revived. Wherever, the Developer was not at any fault, this period of suspension
shall be treated as zero period and the amount kept by the Developer with the
Authority during this period shall earn interest as above.
10. In terms of policy dated 7/11/2008 for housing for financially weaker section of
society, one of the eligibility criteria is @ "Applicant must be residing in Punjab
for the last 10 years as on 1st January in the year in which application are
invited".
It was brought to the notice that for employees of Government of Punjab no
minimum tenure of residence is required for availing of many other facilities.
After due deliberation it was decided that above criterion is not required for
Government of Punjab employees,
11. As per the existing policy, CLU charges for the industry is as follows:
(B) Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Local Planning area Rs. 50000/acre.
(C) GMADA Area- Rs. 2 lac/acre
(D) Rest of Punjab-No Charges
To give fillip to industry it was decided to completely waive off CLU charges
for entire Punjab i.e. the CLU charge for industrial use in entire Punjab shall
henceforth be zero.
12. To promote affordable housing, it was decided that in the earmarked industrial
land use zones in the master plans across Punjab, the affordable housing as
envisaged under JNNURM mission of Govt. of India and the policy for
financially weaker sections notified by the Punjab Govt. vice notification dated
November 7, 2008 shall be permissible

Date: 24.01.2011
Subject: Acquisition of Revenue Rastas falling within the colonies.
It has been noticed that while planning layouts of the colonies, the
revenue rastas falling in these colonies cause hindrance in proper and ideal planning of
urban settlements. Some revenue rastas terminate in these colonies while other pass
through these colonies. If in lieu of these revenue rastas alternative routes are provided
then at one hand they can blend with planning of colonies without causing
inconvenience to the villagers using them and on the other hand acquisition of such
rastas could provide much needed revenue to the villages to carry out development
works.
With a view to facilitate planned urban development and also to promote

development of the villages, the Govt. has decided to acquire such revenue rastas
falling within the colonies subject to the following conditions:-
1. Merits of each case will be ascertained by the STP concerned and thereafter
concerned\ Development Authority will prepare the case for land acquisition
and send it to Govt.
453
2. The developer of the colony shall first have to enter into a specific agreement
with the Government Committing to pay the cost of acquisition.
3. In case of through revenue rastas, the developer shall provide an alternative

passage to the villagers before possession of revenue rastas is handed over to
the developer.

eligibility which shall be determined in view of his share in the land acquired.
However, all the land owners or some of the land owners may jointly apply for

to the oustees in the Sector/Estate for which the land has been acquired.
However, if due to unavoidable circumstances, plots/flats cannot be allotted
within the Sector/Estate, the Authority/Developer shall as far as possible adjust
the oustees in the nearest Sector/Estate to be developed in future in the vicinity
of the land acquired.
3.3 Not more than 10% of the total residential plotted area in any Residential Estate
shall be allotted to the oustees. In case the requirement of space for oustees is
more than 10%, the left out oustees will be considered for allotment in the
estates to be set up in the vicinity in future by the concerned
Authority/Developer. However, the State Government may, for reasons to be
recorded in writing, allow any Authority to allot more than 10% of the total
residential plotted area in any estate to adjust the oustees of that estate or any
other estate, subject to the limitation that total reservation shall not exceed 50%.
470
3.4 When making allotments to oustees in any sector/estate under this policy, first
preference will be given to oustees who land has been acquired for setting up
that sector/estate. Thereafter, oustees of earlier land acquisitions who could not
be adjusted in the sector/estate for which their land had been acquired will be
adjusted in the chronological order of acquisition.
3.5 Allotments under this policy will be made by the Estate Officer of the
concerned Authority. Grievances, if any shall be settled by the Chief
Administrator of the Authority. In case the grievance is still not redressed the
aggrieved party can prefer an appeal before the Govt. of Punjab, in the
Department Housing & Urban Development, which shall also be the final
authority regarding the interpretation of this policy.
4.1 The Concerned Authority shall endeavour to issue an Oustee Certificate to
every land owner whose land has been acquired for the purposes mentioned in
Para 1 above, within one month of taking possession of the land.
4.2 The persons eligible to be allotted plots or houses shall apply to the concerned
Authority within six months of the issue of the oustee certificate along with all
other documents and application money as may be determined by the Authority.
The Authority may, for reasons to be recorded in writing, extend the period for
submission of applications through public notice as well as individual notices to
the oustees. However, in no case shall the period of extension be more than two
years.
4.3 Any eligible landowner may, if he so desires, apply for a plot/house of a lesser
size than the one he is entitled to.
4.4 Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing paras, not more than one plot/flat
shall be allotted to one family under this scheme.
5. The land owners whose land has been compulsorily acquired will be entitled to
take benefit under this scheme according to the quantum of land compulsorily
acquired even if they have taken one or more plots under the Land Pooling
Scheme. However, the land acquired/ purchased under the Land Pooling
Scheme will not be included for determining the eligibility for allotment of a
particular category of plot under this scheme.
6. Since the allotment of the plots/houses is in addition to the monetary
compensation paid to the landowner under the Land Acquisition Act, the price
chargeable for allotment of plots/houses by an Authority to the eligible
landowners under this scheme would be the same as for general category.
However, in case the allotment of plots/houses is to be done by a private
developer, the price chargeable shall be determined by the Authority in
consultation with the developer.
7. The allotment of plots/flats to the oustee shall be by draw of lots wherein all the
plots/flats of each category available at that time within the concerned
Sector/Estate and which are to be sold through allotment as per policy of the
Authority shall be included.
8. The LOI of plot/flat allotted under oustee quota shall be transferable subject to
payment of transfer fee and other charges under transfer policy of the Authority.
9. Other terms and conditions of allotment of plot/flat under this policy shall be
the same as are prescribed for the applicants of General Category.
10. The Policy mentioned in the foregoing Paras shall be applicable to land
acquisition awards to be announced after the date of notification of this policy.
11. As regards the oustees whose land was acquired through land acquisition
471
awards announced on or after 7-5-2001 but before the notification of this policy,
they shall continue to be governed by the policy hitherto in force. However,
Para 2.2 and Para 5 of this policy shall also be applicable to such.
12. In view of the changes in existing policy for Oustees of Awards announced on
or after 7.5.2001 as in para 11 above, a period of 6 months from the date of
notification of this policy shall be given to them to apply afresh or to modify
their applications.

Memo No. 752

Dated Chandigarh, the 18.1.2012
Subject:- No Construction within the Sukhna catchment Area.
Your kind attention is invited to the orders of the Hon’ble Punjab and
Haryana High Court dated 14.03.2011 (photocopy enclosed) in CWP No. 18253 of
2009 (O & M) vide which the Hon’ble Court has observed as follows:-
“In view of the stand taken by the State of Haryana in the affidavit filed
today we are of the view that we should not be asking the States as to whether they have
any plans to have any housing colonies/building construction activities in the
catchment area falling within their respective jurisdictions. Rather, the necessity of
maintaining the catchment area as such being vital for restoring the lake to its former
glory, we are of the view that until further orders we should direct that no housing
colonies or building activities of any kind will take place in the catchment area (either
within the forest area or the agricultural area) falling within the jurisdiction of the two
States of Punjab and Haryana in terms of the map prepared by the Survey of India, as
mentioned above.”
In view of the above orders it may kindly be ensured that no
construction takes place within the Sukhna Catchment Area falling within the
respective states. The Master Plan of Naya Gaon in Punjab and Mansa Devi Complex
in Haryana may also be reviewed in this context.

CWP No. 18253 of 2009 (O & M)
Present: Mr. Pritpal Singh Sodhi, applicant in person

in CM No. 18202 of 2010
Ms. Tanu Bedi, Advocate (Amicus Curiae).
Mr. O.S. Batalvi, Advocate for Union of India
Mr. Sanjay Kaushal, Sr. Standing Counsel for U.T. Admn.
Mr. Kulbir Narwal, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana
Ms. Madhu Dayal, Addl. A.G. Punjab.
*****
We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at some length and it
is our considered view that the following order should govern the matter.
From the affidavit dated 04.03.2011 filed by the Director General, Town
& Country Planning, Haryana it appears that Sector-1 of Mansa Devi Urban Complex,
which has been developed as a part of the development plan under the New Capital
(Periphery) Control Act. 1952, is included in the catchment area of the lake as
identified in the map prepared by the Survey of India in accordance with the directions
dated 16.7.2004 passed in CM Nos. 11170 to 11172 of 2003 in CWP No. 7649 of 2003
Dr. B. Singh Vs. State of Haryana. Though in paragraph No. 4 of the said affidavit it
has been stated that the said area has been designated as Open Space Zone and no
building construction activity has been proposed within this zone, learned Amicus
Curiae has suggested that the aforesaid statement may not be fully correct.
In view of the stand taken by the State of Haryana in the affidavit filed
today we are of the view that we should be not asking the States as to whether they
have any plans to have any housing colonies/building construction activities in the
catchment area falling within their respective jurisdictions. Rather, the necessity of
maintaining the catchment area as such being vital for restoring the lake to its former
glory, we are of the view that unit further order we should direct that no housing
colonies or building activities of any kind will take place in the catchment area (either
within the forest area or the agricultural area) falling within the jurisdiction of the two
States of Punjab and Haryana in terms of the map prepared by the Survey of India, as
mentioned above.
In so far as the services of the Bhakra Beas Management Board for

plugging the leakage in the sluice gates is concerned, we have interacted with Shri S.K.
Chawla, Executive Engineer, Workshop Division Nangal (B.B.M.B) who is present in
person. Shri Chawla has submitted that the Board is presently understaffed and the
primary duty of the Board is to look after the Bhakra Nangal Dam and therefore, he is
not very confident as to what extent man power can be made available by the Board for
doing the work in Sukhna lake. Shri Chawla, has, however, submitted that if the
477
original drawing of the Sluice Gates of Sukhna Lake are made available the authorities
of Bhakra Beas Management Board will study the same, offer their suggestions and
opinions and their help to the extent that is possible.
We direct U.T. Administration, Chandigarh to make available the

relevant drawings to the Board, whereafter, the Board will render necessary advice and
suggestions to the U.T. Administration which will be placed before the Court on the
next date fixed. In the meantime, U.T. Administration will make all endaveours to
identify a competent organization who would be in a position to undertake the repair
work of the sluice gates. The advice of such expert body with regard to necessary
measures as may be obtained by the U.T. Administration be placed before the Court on
the next date fixed.
Apart from the immediate problem of attending to the lekage in the

sluice gates and keeping the catchment area free from inroads in order to facilitate free
flow of water in to the Sukhna Lake there are certain other issue that have been
identified by the learned Amicus Curiae. We direct the learned Amicus Curiae as well
as the learned Standing Counsels for the U.T. Administration, States of Punjab and
Haryana to identify a expert and authorized body or organization which is engaged in
such work and who will be in a position to undertake the work in the lake and lay
before the Court the particulars of the said organization/body.
All these matter will now be listed for further consideration on

03.05.2011.

It was deliberated that there are 3 aspects of the subject matter in which uniformity
needs to be brought about in norms though implementation could stay with the
respective authorities.
Preparation of a Composite Master Plan of the State with clearly demarcated

Residential, Industrial and Institution Zones, will be undertaken by Director, Town
and Country Planning by engaging a Firm/Consultant having requisite experience and
expertise. Already sanctioned Master Plans of Towns/Cities will be integrated and areas
outside Master Plans planned keeping in view the quality of soil, approach and other
aspects that render particular areas fit for particular activities. Hence forth planning
shall not be changed for example from Residential to Commercial or Industrial to
Commercial by any department without following the due process which is through the
Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Board.
Building Bye Laws: It was decided that a committee under Director, Town and
Country Planning with representatives from the other two departments will propose a
set of common Building Bye Laws by 21/6/2012 which will be put before the
Committee of Secretaries of the 3 departments by First week of July and then before
the Council of Ministers for adoption by all departments concerned. The committee
will also propose ways to bring uniformity in the Bye Laws/permissible construction
norms and rates to be charged between projects sanctioned under various schemes such
as Licenses and Mega Projects Policy.
Change of Land Use: It was noticed that as per the extant legal provisions, Change
Land Use is in the preview of the Housing and Urban Development Department only as
defined in the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995, which
needs to be followed strictly by all other departments.

GREATER MOHALI AREA DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AJITGARH
ORDER
Whereas Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority (Building) Rules,
1996 (hereinafter called the Rules) were framed under the Punjab Regional and Town
Planning and Development Act, 1995 primarily to regulate and promote construction of
buildings on plots/sites allotted under the said Act. In order to have a uniform policy for
compounding certain violations, a Policy was framed by PUDA vides order No. PUDA
/Policy-2003 /7486-7505 dated 06.11.2003 for compounding certain violations in 2003,
which was amended, vide Order No. PUDA-TPW-05/2239-2266 dated 02.05.2005 and
by GMADA vide Order No. GMADA-ARCH-2010/11408 dated 07.09.2010.
Consequent to the creation of this Authority in 2006, policies of PUDA were adopted
by GMADA for implementation within the area under GMADA jurisdiction.
Whereas, it has now been observed that the enhancement in the rates for
compounding such violations were not commensurate with the inflationary trends, as
well as it was felt that the date of enhancement should be made annual and linked to the
financial year.
After careful consideration of the matter and recommendations made by the
committee in the larger public interest, I, A.K. Sinha, Chief Administrator, Greater
Mohali Area Development Authority, in exercise of powers conferred under proviso to
Section 157 of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning Act, 1995, hereby prescribe the
increase in rates of compensation for compounding of the violations of PUDA
(Building) Rules, 1996 as provided in the Schedule attached to this order, instead of
demolition or alteration of such buildings, to be effective immediately. However, in the
case of non-compoundable violations, the buildings shall have to be altered as per
Rules.
The rates prescribed shall be increased by 10% over and above the rates
prescribed above on 1st April of every financial year with first increase effective from
1st April 2013.
However, it is made clear that no violation of building bye-laws shall be
tolerated and any construction raised in such violation in future shall be demolished at
the risk and cost of the violator.
This order is in continuation of the earlier issued vide Endorsement no
PUDA/Policy/2003/7486-7505 dated 6-11-2003 and other subsequent orders issued as
above.

Subject: Policy regarding identification of authorized/ unauthorized
Marriage Palaces in the State of Punjab.
Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court vide its order dated 17.08.2012
in C.W.P. No. 21547 of 2011-Jagjit Singh vs State of Punjab and Others has issued
directions as under:-
“The respondents -Marriage Palaces in this case are permitted to
submit their representations/ objections in GMADA or Patiala
Development Authority or Municipal Corporations/ Committees/
Councils, as the case may be and appear before the authorities
concerned from 21.08.2012 to 28.08.2012 in their respective offices.
The authorities concerned shall form an opinion and tentative decision
taken be placed on record of this Court.
Directions are also issued to the State of Punjab to verify the number of
marriage palaces being run in each district and to inform the Court as
to how many marriage palaces out of the so identified were opened after
getting all necessary permissions under the relevant Acts including
Change of Land Use (CLU) etc.
Mr. J.S. Puri, Additional Advocate General, Punjab is directed to
convey the order passed to all the Deputy Commissioners in State of
Punjab.”
Keeping in view the above order passed by the Hon'ble Punjab and
Haryana High Court, it was felt that a policy must be framed to identify the authorized/
unauthorized Marriage Palaces in the entire State of Punjab. The entire area in the state
of Punjab can be divided in two categories as far as the marriage palaces are concerned
i.e. within M. C. limits and the out side M.C. limits. On the Marriage Palaces falling
within the M.C. limits, the policy formulated by the Local Govt. Department is
applicable. However, for the Marriage Palaces falling out side the M.C. limit, different
rules/guidelines/ instructions were applicable from time to time. To identify a marriage
palace as authorized it is necessary that the marriage palace should have all the
requisite approvals/sanctions/NOCs required at the time of its commencement. Thus a
detailed study has been carried out in the Department of Housing and Urban
Development to list out the rules/instructions/guidelines applicable from time to time.
After studying all the rules/instructions/ guidelines issued from time to
time, the time line from 1963 to till date for approval of Marriage Palaces can be

Palaces along the Scheduled Roads and in the notified Controlled Area was
required under this act.
The Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated

(HOUSING II BRANCH)
NOTIFICATION
The 8 th November, 2012
No.17/118/07-1HgII/4982- As per the provisions of National Urban Housing and

Habitat Policy-2007 of Government of India, State Governments are required to
prepare State Rural and Urban Housing and Habitat Policy. The Government of Punjab,
in an endeavour to provide “Affordable Housing for All” and with a vision to achieve
sustainable development of both rural and urban areas, has formulated “Punjab
Housing and Habitat Policy-2008 (PHHP-08)”. Therefore, in pursuance of the
decision of the State Council of Ministers in its meeting held on 2nd October, 2012 in
this regard, the Governor of Punjab is pleased to notify the Punjab Housing and Habitat
Policy- 2008 (PHHP-08).
The Governor of Punjab is further pleased to direct the publication of this
Policy for the information of the general public in Punjab Government Official Gazette
(Extraordinary) as well as on Punjab Government/PUDA’s Websites.
1.0 PREAMBLE
1.1 The Need for Policy
Housing has been recognized as a basic human need, next only to food and
clothing. Housing has also been recognized as an integral part of economic
development due to its forward and backward linkage effects. Housing initiatives must
be viewed in the background of the overall economic development and the needs of the
people. Promotion of sustainable human settlement development cannot be achieved
without adequate and affordable housing. As per NHHP 98, NUHHP-2007 and
NRHHP (Draft Report), State Governments are required to prepare State Rural and
Urban Housing & Habitat Policy so as to create a productive & responsive housing
sector benefiting all. Need for Punjab Housing and Habitat Policy emerges from the
growing requirements of shelter and related infrastructure both at rural and urban
centres as also due to the change in economic and social environment, growing
urbanization, mismatch in demand and supply of developed land and houses at
affordable rates and inability of poorer sections of the population to have access to
formal land markets and finances from financial institutions leading to a non-
sustainable situation.
Punjab Government, therefore, has adopted a definite and an implementable
Habitat Agenda offering a vision to achieve sustainable development of both rural and
urban areas with a healthy and safe environment. In this direction, Government of
Punjab will create the enabling political and administrative environment to ensure
peoples’ participation in achieving this holistic agenda.
537
“Affordable Housing for All” will be the underlying theme of the Policy
consistent with the overarching objective of the National Urban Housing and Habitat
Policy adopted by the Govt. of India in December 2007.
1.2 Integrated Habitat Development
An Integrated “Habitat” approach to housing is needed so as to take into
account the issues of spatial planning including aspects like water supply, sanitation
and waste disposal to effectively address the issues of ecology and to avoid disaster. In
view of the distinctive social, geographic and climatic conditions, it is necessary to
adopt efficient land planning for its optimal use keeping in view the alternative
requirements for low/ high rise housing projects depending upon the area requirements,
demand from different sections of population, the type of intervention required in terms
of supply of land/ housing for the lower income households and the respective roles of
the public/ private sector agencies, the state government policy on land and
infrastructure etc.
1.3 Housing Problem
The state is facing concentration of sub- standard or inadequate houses with
high density and over-crowding, inadequate sanitary conditions, lack of basic
amenities, slums in urban agglomerations and slum like situations in many semi-urban
and rural areas. Lack of purchasing power, security of tenure of land, unclear titles of
house property in rural areas, speculative and market, inflexible housing finance
system, inappropriate planning and building regulations, lack of awareness about
appropriate building materials and technologies, paucity of public funds and problems
with the institutional framework in providing adequate support to low income segment
households, are some of the constraints resulting in inadequate housing and habitat
conditions for the poor and EWS/LIG/financially weaker section segments in the State.
As a result, the gap between supply and demand of adequate and affordable houses has
increased considerably in the State. As per Census 2001, 4.3% of the total households
in the State were living in dilapidated houses which is no doubt less than the national
average of 5.6%.
The State being rich in agricultural production and hub of many industries like
hosiery, dairy, chemicals etc and now the IT and BPO industry, has witnessed increased
interstate migration trend from rural to urban areas within the state as well from outside
states.
Accordingly, the urbanization rate in the State has witnessed faster trends. As
per Census 2001, nearly 34% of the total population lives in urban areas as compared to
28% at all India level. This has resulted in increased pressure on urban housing and
infrastructure. As a result, the slums in the State have grown significantly. As per
Census 2001, nearly 14% of the urban population in the State is living in slums. As per
NSS Report No. 486, the proportion of slum dwellers living in notified slums in the
State is higher than the national average.
This has also resulted in growing housing shortage. As per Census 2001, the
State had a housing shortage of 3 lakh units of which 2.10 lakh units shortage was in
538
urban areas and 90,000 units in rural areas. However, the number of dilapidated houses
in the State was 1.81 lakh units both in urban and rural areas. Besides, the state had
houseless population of nearly 47,000. As per NBO, the urban housing shortage in the
State in 2007 was 6.90 lakh units. Thus going by the trend in growth of population and
household formation, it is estimated that the State would be requiring about 12 lakh
additional housing units both in urban and rural areas during 2007-12 with an
investment of about Rs. 34,000 crores. Of this housing requirement, nearly 95% i.e.
11.40 lakh houses will be required for poor/EWS/LIG/financially weaker section
households. About 6.1 lakh houses will be needed for the poor/EWS/LIG/financially
weaker section, 3.60 lakh houses for LIG, 1.80 lakh houses for MIG and the remaining
60,000 for HIG category.
1.4 Policies and Programmes
The State of Punjab did not have a state housing policy in the past. This
Document is the first ever attempt by the Government to develop a comprehensive
perspective on housing over the short, medium and the long term. The policy will seek
to address the housing requirements of all sections of the society specially focusing on
EWS/LIG/financially weaker section segments.
With the changing economic environment, there is a need for gradual change in
the policies and programmes of the Government to act as a “Facilitator” rather than
“Builder and Provider” to achieve the objective of Housing for All in the state.
Keeping in view the resource requirement for the sector, there is a definite need to
involve the private sector in partnership with the Government in realizing this Goal, as
also envisaged in the NUHHP.
However, the housing needs of the lower income segments demand special
interventions as their affordability is very precariously exposed to the market forces.
Though the private sector’s contribution and their potential needs to be tapped and
harnessed, the government should continue to play an active role in provision of
housing for this segment. This segment can be easily priced out of the market. Thus,
the policy will need to address the funding needs of this segment by way of individual
loans facility, availability and affordability of credit, and supply of housing at
affordable prices.
It will be, therefore the endeavour of the State Government to create suitable
administrative, legal and legislative environment for catalyzing increased investment in
housing and related amenities by public and private sector agencies, the cooperative
sector. Such models as Public-Private-Partnership, together with peoples’ partnership
and the role of NGOs and Micro finance institutions should be increasingly relied
upon. The policy will also seek to identify the role of financing institutions and
financing mechanisms with suitable instruments, both market oriented as well as
government-supported. The national programmes such as the JNNURM and Bharat
Nirman will need suitable supplementing at the state level through matching
initiatives. The policy will explore areas of such initiatives and cooperation. In this
context, there will however, be a need to redefine and restructure the role of the public
539
agencies to continue to remain engaged in the area of specifically meeting the needs of
low income segment households to a large extent and have oversight of such projects to
ensure optimum utilization of resources including subsidies, and their transparent
targeting.
1.5 Housing Programmes implemented in the State
The State has been providing financial support to the rural BPL beneficiaries
under the IAY. During the years 2000-06 State has spent Rs 1086 crores under IAY for
construction of 35952 houses for BPL families.
In rural areas, financial institutions like banks, HFCs etc are also providing
loans under Golden Jubilee Rural Housing Finance Scheme. During the period 1997-
2007, a total of 49,257 housing units were financed amounting to loan of Rs. 978 crores
in rural areas in the State under this scheme.
In urban areas, State agencies like PUDA, Urban Estates and public local
agencies have been undertaking development and construction of land/houses/flats and
allocating the same to the different sections of economic groups. For
EWS/LIG/financially weaker section, plots/houses/flats are offered at cross subsidized
rates. During the years 2002-06, 8 Urban Estates in the State have allotted about 9629
plots of which nearly 45-50% were allocated to EWS/LIG/financially weaker section
categories. During the year 2007, these agencies have allotted about 2272 plots of
which more than 50% were offered to EWS/LIG/financially weaker section segments.
FIs are also providing housing loans to individuals in the State on the
commercial principle. As at end March 2006, the outstanding housing loans of banks
in the State stood at Rs 5687 crores in 1.82 lakh accounts. Besides this, HFCs and State
HOUSEFED are also providing housing loans to individuals and through the co-
operatives.
1.6 Emergence of Sustainable Habitat
Creation of integrated rural and Urban habitat is the key to sustainable
development. The policy takes into consideration the existing shelter condition, access
to basic amenities, opportunities for income and employment generation, growing
investment opportunities, magnitude of slums and sub-standard housing and therefore,
focuses on sustainable rural and urban housing structures which will be able to absorb
growing rural and urban housing requirements including the availability of basic
amenities and employment opportunities.
1.7 Focus Areas
Adequacy of housing is directly linked to magnitude of poverty. Poor housing
lack in terms of tenure, structure and access to services. Therefore, the proposed Policy
guidelines & steps to be taken would be oriented towards building new housing stock
and up-gradation of existing EWS/LIG/Financially weaker section houses/replacement
of temporary houses & semi permanent houses including housing for slum and squatter
dwellers and will be main focus area of PHHP-08. The policy will also focus on up-
liftment of poor/EWS/LIG/financially weaker section both in rural and urban areas
including slum dwellers. Kacchi basties living on govt. land would be transferred to
540
PRIs/Municipal Bodies and would be regularized and/or shifted elsewhere under a
special programme ensuring security of tenure and through people/community
participation.
The policy will envisage drawing of action oriented and implementable plans in
convergence with Central Programmes like JNNURM, IAY and Credit cum Subsidy
Schemes etc. with focus on “Adequate and Affordable Shelter for All” for achieving
the objective of promoting “Sustainable Housing Development”. The approach and
thrust of this policy will be “inclusive” in terms of social and financial inclusion of
poor, marginalized and dis-advantaged groups in both rural and urban areas.
2.0 Aims of the policy
The main aim of the policy will be:
1. To create surpluses in housing stock either on ownership or rental basis.
2. To facilitate acceleration in supply of serviced land and housing with particular
focus on EWS/LIG/financially weaker section categories.

sewerage, traffic management etc.
8. To removing legal, financial and administrative barriers for facilitating access to
land, finance and technology.
9. To encourage progressive shift from target orientation to a demand driven

17. The policy will aim towards meeting the special needs of SC/ST/disabled/freed
bonded labour/slum dwellers, elderly, women, street vendors and other weaker
sections of the society.
18. The policy will orient towards setting up of a land bank to ensure smooth supply
of land for projects specifically meant for construction of houses to low income
segment households. However appropriate measures will be in place to ensure
that the land bank does not restrict the supply of land in the market resulting in
increase in prices .
19. Using housing & urban infrastructure sector to generate employment through
effective convergence with on-going Government social and employment
generation Schemes.
20. To ensure a balanced regional growth along with suitable supply of land, shelter
and employment opportunities with the overall focus to contain increasing

4.0 Specific Action areas:
4.1 Land
a. To bring in appropriate supportive laws for increasing the supply of developed
land/houses/flats specifically and its accessibility at affordable rates for
poor/BPL/EWS/LIG/ financially weaker section segments.
b. Government public agencies would continue to undertake acquisition of land for
construction of houses for low income housing projects.
c While identifying the land, it will be ensured that houses are constructed near
the abadi preferably in Panchayat Land or Government Land. If the Panchayat/
Government land near the abadi is not available, the same may be obtained by
exchanging the land with the Panchayat land. Where there is no land belonging
to Panchayat/Government, the land for EWS/LIG/financially weaker section
houses may be purchased/ acquired. It shall be ensured that the selected site is
acceptable to the allottees.
d. There will be no Stamp Duty/Registration Fee/Cess on purchase of land for
EWS/LIG/financially weaker section housing in any part of the State and/or in
earmarked Zones. Similarly, there will be no Stamp Duty/Registration
Fee/Social Security Cess on transfer of houses to the poor people. These
relaxations are however, subject to the condition that the promoter/builders will
have to construct all EWS/LIG/financially weaker section housing units within
3 (three) years from the date of grant of license or exemptions.
e. In case a private agency/builder constructs say 1,00,000 sft. of
EWS/LIG/financially weaker section housing in rural areas, there will not be
