The Gujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Act, 2022
The Gujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Act, 2022, serves as a one-time amnesty scheme for property owners and occupiers in Gujarat. It allows individuals to regularize unauthorized building developments—such as deviations in margins, height, or usage—that occurred before October 1, 2022. By paying specific fees, citizens can convert these unauthorized structures into legally recognized developments, provided they meet safety and structural standards. The Act excludes critical areas like government land, road alignments, and hazardous zones. It aims to resolve pending legal disputes and provide a pathway for compliance, ultimately channeling collected fees into an infrastructure development fund.
