Self-Redevelopment Scheme in Maharashtra

Self-Redevelopment Scheme in Maharashtra Process, Benefits

Self-Redevelopment scheme is an innovative scheme to help the flat owners for redeveloping their old buildings. This scheme is a huge step towards making sure that the residents of housing societies can redevelop their buildings without any hassle. From a survey, we can know that around 2,000 projects of redevelopment in the city are stuck in the middle phase because the builder/developer left after doing half of the work. Thus this scheme will prove itself as a useful alternative option for redevelopment to the members of the housing societies.
