Bringing relief to the builders and homeowners, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde waived additional development charges 100% in Pune Metropolitan Regional Development Authority. Hundreds of builders and house owners stand benefited due to waiver of these charges during the period July 2018 to April 2023.
To develop the Hinjewadi-Shivaji Nagar-Pune Metro railway line, the government has recovered Rs 332 crore from builders and homeowners towards additional development charges. However, the Shinde Government took a decision recently to waive the additional development charges for the five year period. The CM also directed the government officials to go into the scope of imposing additional development charges sector-wise instead of levying uniform charges on all.
