Residents of Haryana may soon be allowed to register independent floors in properties located in licensed colonies as a commercial unit, widening the scope of a provision that currently exists only for registering residential units.
The Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas (Second Amendment) Bill, 2023, which amends Section 3-C of the act and was passed by the state assembly, however, made it clear that registration will be limited to one residential or commercial unit on each floor.
Experts said the move may increase demand from professionals who can now own offices or business locations on independent floors.
Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal said there was no statutory provision for registration of independent floors as commercial units in licensed colonies. Such registration was permitted only in sectors developed by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), the state’s urban planning and development agency.
