In the case of municipalities and municipal corporations falling under HMDA limits, the metro authority would regularise the plots. As far as civic bodies in other areas, director of the town and country planning (DTCP) would be the nodal agency, but applications will have to be submitted to the respective civic bodies.

The application under this land regularisation scheme (LRS) will be processed online only.

Ninety days time has been provided for submission of applications from October 15, 2019. At the time of submission of application, applicants will have to pay 10 percent of the total amount or Rs 10,000 whichever is less towards initial payment.

The LRS approval will be given within six months from the date of payment of full amount. In case of sites falling in other than residential use conversion charges will be levied, except for sites earmarked for recreational, water bodies, buffer zones and industries. And in case of rejection, appeals can be filed before Appellate Authority.
