It is good that government land are into consideration this time. The illegal constructions going on government land were not assessed due to ambiguity in the GHMC Act on assessment of the encroached land. Now the squatters of encroached government land could no more enjoy the civic amenities and other facilities which resulted in loss of revenue.

Yes sundar...this rule will be applicable for all type of properties in Hyderabad such as flats, houses, assigned land and encroachments on government land. The Building Rules GO and GHMC Act are contradicting thus can be challenged in the court. Now the decision to amend the act is completely on the municipal administration and urban development department.

Hi Nair..is this penalty applicable to government buildings also..?? I think this increase in penalty was incorporated in the New Building Rules (GO 86) issued in 2006 but it was not implemented.

Hi Ravinder..yes it has increased ..Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided the penalty as 100 percent more on normal property tax. It is because every second day..there are new cases of illegal constructions

Hi Neeraj..the Penalty for Illegal construction in Hyderabad is 25 percent on the property tax. This is according to the 20B section of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act. Please let me know if there are any changes done.
