ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
(SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)
(a) : PM-UDAY Scheme confers ownership rights to the residents of 1731 Unauthorized
Colonies listed in the National Capital Territory of Delhi (Recognition of Property Rights
of residents in Unauthorized Colonies) Regulations, 2019 (except the unauthorised colonies
falling within the ambit of the exclusions provided under Regulation No. 7).
Conveyance Deed are issued for properties falling on Government Land and Authorization
Slip for properties falling on Private Land.
After the execution of Conveyance Deed or Authorisation slip, the applicant may register
the Conveyance Deed/ Authorization Slip with the concerned Sub Registrar under Revenue
Department, GNCTD.
(b) to (d) : DDA confers ownership rights to the residents of 1731 Unauthorized Colonies as per the
provisions of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Recognition of Property Rights of
residents in Unauthorized Colonies) Regulations, 2019.
As regards regularization of building and legality thereof, this falls under the jurisdiction of
MCD since these Unauthorised Colonies do not fall under the development area in terms of
the provisions contained in Section 12 of the DD Act, 1957.
