Slum Rehabilitation Authority MUMBAI MAHARASHTRA INDIA March 21st 2018

background Since beginning of 20th century slums existed in Mumbai e.g. Dharavi, Matunga labour camp, etc. Greater Mumbai has a population of almost 12 million, out of which 45% live in Slums. Pre & Post independence people from all corners of the country came to Mumbai in search of jobs. Mumbai is the city of gold and dreams, attracting large no of migrant workforce. Slums thus are a hard reality of Mumbai. SRA

Approach to Slum Development SRA Approach-I (1950-1970) Approach was to remove the slums and protect the land. Large Area of public land encroached by slums The Influx of migrant labour was so huge, therefore the efforts to protect even private land proved futile.

Approach-II (1970-1990) Since the removal and control of slums proved futile, the humanitarian approach to recognize the slums was considered. The Maharashtra Slum Area (Improvement, Clearance & Redevelopment) Act, 1971 came in existence. Census of hutments carried out in 1976 and Identity Card/Photo passes issued to Slum dwellers. Basic amenities such as water, drainage, toilet, pathways, street light were provided in slum area. Slum upgradation program was implemented with World Bank assistance in mid 1980. Slum land given on lease of 30 yrs to the co-operative society of slum dwellers at a nominal lease rent. Soft loans for renovation of individual structures on as is where is basis were provided. Redevelopment of slum dwellers was also initiated in Dharavi under Prime Minister Grant Programme SRA

Approach to Slum Development… Cont.… SRA Approach-III (1991-1995) Redevelopment of slums started under SRD by making provision in Act and Rules. Under DCR No. 33 (10), redevelopment of slums through owners/ developers /co-operative housing societies of slum dwellers/NGOs was made permissible for censused slum or slum dwellers whose names appear in the Electoral Rolls of 1985 with FSI upto 2.5. The Scheme did not prove very effective.

Approach to Slum Development… Cont.… SRA Approach-IV (1995 onwards) Formation of AFZULPURKAR COMMITTEE which recommended Slum Rehabilitation scheme. Committee estimated 80% slum rehabilitation is possible IN SITU. Committee relies on philosophy that “if inequality has to be removed there has to be unequal law”, by giving them free tenements, to bring them into mainstream of social, cultural and economic fabric of this pulsating city.

Formation of Slum Rehabilitation Authority SRA Government launched comprehensive Slum Rehabilitation Scheme in December 1995 Using land as resource Slum tenements are provided to slum dwellers at Free of Cost To cross subsidize the cost of Rehabilitation component, the incentive FSI is given in the form of sale component Tenements constructed in sale component are allowed to be sold in open market with prices determined by market forces.

Process of Scheme implementation SRA The Slum dwellers co-operative society “select” developer to implement the scheme. Eligibility of Slum Dweller: Must be slum dweller as on 1.1.2000 earlier it was 1.1.1995 Such developer shall have 70% consent of Eligible Slum dwellers family. The Project submitted by such developer with 70% consent is admitted by SRA The proposal is scrutinized and if in order is accepted for further process. The scheme is implemented in two part Rehab and Sale Component The Developer is allowed to construct sale component to meet his expenditure & profit. The Eligible slum dwellers get 25.00 sq. mtr. (269 sq ft) tenement free of cost.

Types of slum rehabilitation schemes SRA In situ rehab scheme : Under Provision of D.C.R 33(10) Rehabilitation is done at site of slums. PAP tenement scheme: Under provisions of D.C.R 33(10) clause 3.11 This scheme is meant for slum dwellers whose rehabilitation is not possible in-situ due to physical constraints like vital projects, footpaths, hillocks, etc. Permanent Transit Tenement Scheme: Under provisions of D.C.R 33(14)D Permanent Transit Tenement are constructed in situ by giving incentive FSI

Features of slum rehabilitation schemes SRA No financial burden on Government. Slum dwellers get a self contained 25 sq. mtr. i.e. 269 sq. ft. (earlier 225 sq. ft) carpet area tenement free of cost consisting of living room, kitchen/alcove, bed room, bath & WC. Underlying land is the resource for the scheme. Cost of construction of the rehabilitation tenements is cross-subsidized from the sale of free sale tenements in the open market. The entity developing the slum rehabilitation scheme is entitled to free sale component in proportion to the rehab component. FSI upto 3 can be consumed for tenement density of 500 to 650 tenements per hector in situ , as against 1.33 / 1.00 FSI available for general sites. FSI upto 4 can be consumed for tenement density of more than 650 tenements per hector in situ with prior Govt. approval , as against 1.33 / 1.00 FSI available for general sites.

Features of slum rehabilitation schemes…Contd. SRA Every slum structure existing as on 1/1/2000 or prior thereto is eligible 70% of the eligible slum dwellers in a slum can come together to form a society for implementation of slum rehabilitation scheme. Rehab tenement allotted to a slum dweller cannot be sold for a period of 10 years from the date of allotment. However it can be transferred to a legal heir with prior permission of CEO (SRA). A sum of Rs. 40,000/- per tenement is recovered as maintenance deposit from the developer for subsidizing the monthly maintenance of the rehab building. For every 1.0 sq.mt. of rehab component construction, sale built up area allowed is as follows 0.75 sq.mt. City Dharavi Suburbs 1.0 sq.mt. 1.33 sq.mt. Rehab Max. FSI consumption allowed on plot is 3

Status of slum rehabilitation schemes SRA Particular 33(10) 3.11 33(14)D Total No of S.R. scheme sanctioned LOI Issued 1,295 51 167 1,513 No of tenements proposed to be constructed 3,50,837 1,26,542 9,939 4,87,318 No of tenements approved 2,45,724 1,25,114 9,156 3,79,994 No of tenements under construction 1,56,019 81,466 7,039 2,44,524 No of Tenements OCC granted 1,06,411 76,000 3,071 1,85,482

Status against set Objectives of slum rehabilitation schemes SRA 2,399 slum cluster were identified. 1.85 Lacs tenements constructed so far. Constructions of approx. 3.79 Lacs tenements are in pipeline. Rs. 2108 Crs revenue generated for MCGM & MHADA by way of various infrastructure charges levied on private developers.

Bottlenecks in achieving Objectives SRA Slum Dwellers Related issues: Land owner's are neither submitting scheme nor giving consent for the scheme. To obtain 70% consent from slum dwellers. To deal with non consented slum dwellers. To deal with consented but non-co-operative slum dwellers. Eviction of large nos. of non eligible slum dwellers (33/38). Developer Related Issues : Non-performing developers (partner's dispute). Problem in raising of finance.

Bottlenecks in achieving Objectives SRA Policy Related issues: CRZ Area. NOC from MOEF /Civil Aviation Dept./Navy/Defense/Wireless Station etc. No policies for Central Govt. Land. S.R. Scheme in difficult area (hilly area). Scheme on RG/PG (DP Reservation). Commercial unit having more area are eligible only up to 225 sq. ft. irrespective of their more area & planning constraints. Non-availability of adequate transit camps or alternate accommodations.

Way forwarD SRA Administrative reforms for better accountability and target assigning. Process has now been simplified: For identification of Eligible slum dwellers For Eviction of non co-operative slum dwellers – Once scheme is sanctioned through majority consents. For acquisition of land.

e-governance Reforms BY SRA Revamped website with Letter Tracking System & GIS Portal Launched by Hon. Chief Minister Drones being used now for GIS survey of Slums. Development of Slum MIS (by conducting Biometric Survey of each hutment) and seamless Integration with GIS Base Map Creating Rehabilitation Database and conducting biometric survey of existing beneficiaries of SRA Schemes. Customized application for SRA office - For end to end computerization of SRA workflow Automation of building plan approval as per DCR and Online lottery management system
