Financial Provisions

  • Increased Scope: Expanding the cut-off date will lead to a rise in the number of clusters qualifying for assistance.

Impact Analysis

Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) Impact The Board will face a significant increase in its workload and financial responsibilities as more clusters now fall under its statutory definition for improvement and resettlement. Action Required DUSIB must identify new eligible clusters based on the 2025 cut-off date, provide mandated civic amenities, and formulate expanded resettlement and relocation schemes.

Residents of Jhuggi Jhopri Bastis Impact Residents in clusters established between January 2006 and January 2025 now gain legal status as eligible for rehabilitation, relocation, and improved living conditions. Action Required Eligible residents must participate in relocation schemes and contribute to the cost of new housing as per the financial memorandum.

Land Owners Impact Owners of land occupied by newly eligible clusters must engage with DUSIB for redevelopment or relocation processes. Action Required Land owners are required to provide consent for redevelopment schemes and contribute to the costs associated with the resettlement of residents from their land.

Government of NCT of Delhi (GNCTD) Impact The government will need to provide increased funding to support the expanded scope of the 2026 Policy and DUSIB's enhanced obligations. Action Required The Government must notify the commencement date of the Act and allocate the necessary financial resources to DUSIB for the implementation of the amendment.

No. 21/15DUSIB(A)/2026/LAS-VIII/Legn./5908.—The Following is Published for General Information:— THE DELHI URBAN SHELTER IMPROVEMENT BOARD (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2026 Bill No. 10 of 2026 (As introduced in the Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi on 10th August, 2026) Bill No. 10 of 2026 THE DELHI URBAN SHELTER IMPROVEMENT BOARD (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2026 A BILL to amend the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, 2010. Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi in the Seventy-seventh Year of the Republic of India as follows:— 1. Short title and commencement.- (1) This Act may be called the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (Amendment) Act, 2026. (2) It shall come into force on such date as the Government may, by notification published in the Official Gazette, appoint. 2. Amendment of section 2. In section 2 of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, 2010, in clause (g), in sub-clause (iii), for the words and figures— "It is inhabited at least by fifty households as existing on 1st January, 2006", the words and figures— "It is inhabited at least by fifty households as existing on 1st January, 2025", shall be substituted. ASHISH SOOD, Minister (Urban Development)[PART IV DELHI GAZETTE : EXTRAORDINARY 5 STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, 2010 was enacted to provide for the improvement, rehabilitation and development of urban shelter and for matters connected therewith. Clause (g) of section 2 of the Act defines the expression "jhuggi jhopribasti" and prescribes the criteria for declaration of a group of jhuggis as a jhuggi jhopribasti. Under sub-clause (iii) thereof, such group is required to be inhabited by at least fifty households existing on 1st January, 2006. The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi has formulated the Delhi Slum and Jhuggi Jhopri Rehabilitation and Relocation Policy, 2026 with a view to providing a contemporary framework for the rehabilitation and relocation of eligible residents of jhuggi jhopribastis. The proposed Policy revises the cut-off date for determining the existence of a jhuggi jhopribasti from 1st January, 2006 to 1st January, 2025. Since the statutory definition contained in section 2(g)(iii) of the Act forms the basis for identification of jhuggi jhopribastis for the purposes of rehabilitation and relocation, it is necessary to align the provisions of the Act with the proposed Policy. The proposed amendment seeks to substitute the words and figures "1st January, 2006" with the words and figures "1st January, 2025" in section 2(g)(iii) of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, 2010. The amendment is intended to ensure statutory consistency with the proposed Policy, provide legal certainty in the identification of eligible jhuggi jhopribastis, and facilitate the effective implementation of rehabilitation and relocation measures in accordance with the revised policy framework. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects. ASHISH SOOD, Minister (Urban Development) FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM As per Section 10 of Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, the BOARD is empowered and under obligation to prepare a scheme for removal of any JhuggiJhopriBasti and resettlement of the residents. Evidently, the whole process requires funds for relocation, which is provided by Delhi Govt./ Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board and also contributed by the land owner and jhuggi dwellers towards the cost of the new houses. As per Section 11 of the DUSIB Act, the BOARD is under obligation for improvement of any Jhuggi JhopriBasti by way of providing toilets, bathing facilities, drainage, water supply, street paving etc. subject to the proviso of section 11(1) of the said Act. As per Section 12 of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, 2010, the BOARD may, with the consent of the owner of the land on which jhuggi jhopribasti is situated, work out schemes for collective community rehabilitation, relocation or in-situ upgradation and involve private sector/slum cooperative for redevelopment of the basti with a view to bringing about environmental improvement and improvement in the living conditions of the residents. Hence, on amendment of the cut-off date from 01.01.2006 to 01.01.2025, the obvious implications would be the rise in number of clusters coming within the definition of Section 2(g) (iii). Consequently, the financial implications with respect to the activities and functions mandated as per the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, 2010 as given in the above paras, will also increase correspondingly.
