NEW DELHI: For effective implementation and facilitation of its ambitious land pooling policy, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has proposed amendments to the DDA Act, 1957. The draft for modifications has already been sent to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for vetting and notification thereafter.
DDA vice-chairman Anurag Jain said changes in certain statutory clauses including stamp duty provisions are mandatory, as these are creating hurdles on the ground during implementation. “It will require certain statutory provisions to make land pooling policy mandatory, besides stamp duty exemption. Without these two things, implementation on the ground is difficult,” Jain said at a webinar held to explain the draft Master Plan of Delhi- 2041 recently.
