“Even those who want to build a new structure within the confines of the policy can also apply online with requisite documents as mentioned on the website and pay the fee,” he said.

Garg said, as per the recent scheme of the CHB, the allottees can also get amnesty against illegal constructions subject to the payment of the penalty, the last date for which is September 30.

The facility to make the penalty online will also be made available, he said.

“Once we receive the application online, it will be processed and the person will be informed on their registered mobile number,” said Garg

Once they log in, the owners will have access to all the details of EMIs and ground rent paid by them and pendency if any.” “The online account also has the provision of paying through debit/ credit card or net banking,” said Garg. He said, 1,500 commercial properties will be covered within three-four weeks.
