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.
