STATEMENT OF OBJECTS REASONS

Section 79 of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act (LIX of 1949)

provides for the provision governing the disposal of Municipal property and section

92 of the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial

Townships Act, 1965 (Mah. XL of 1965) provides for the provisions regarding

transfer of municipal property for various purposes.

2.

The existing provisions in the said Acts do not provide for the grant of

lease of a land belonging to the Corporation or the Council, to the eligible

individual beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana of the Central

Government.

3.

To facilitate effective implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana

and to achieve the objective of the policy ‘Housing for all’, the Government

considers it expedient to amend section 79 of the Maharashtra Municipal

Corporations Act and section 92 of the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar

Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965, suitably for conferring enabling

power on the Commissioner and on the Chief Officer for grant of lease of land

belonging to the Municipal Corporation or Municipal Council, as the case may be,

where the approval to the implementation of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana on the

land belonging to it is granted by such local authority, to the eligible individual

beneficiary of the said Scheme.

4.

Hence this Bill.
