To ensure quick and timely disposal of applications for regularization of properties situated in unauthorized colonies in the state, Punjab Government has introduced a facility of online submission and processing of applications on the regularization portal for obtaining NoC. The state government has also fixed a deadline of maximum 21 working days to complete the whole process to issue the NoC.

Punjab Housing and Urban Development Minister Aman Arora on Saturday said this facility of regularization could be availed only by those allottees/residents whose properties fall under the unauthorized colonies developed before March 19, 2018.

Arora said that the person concerned can now log on to www.punjabregularization.in portal dedicated to regularization of plots and buildings situated in unauthorised colonies, which will be processed online. Till now, the applications were processed offline so the applicants had to wait a long time for getting issued the NoC. Due to ignorance, a considerable number of people had purchased properties in unauthorised colonies which had mushroomed in the past few years. These allottees/residents had invested their hard earned money to purchase plots or other establishments in these colonies, the Minister added.

To give a reprieve to them the regularization portal has been revamped, said the Minister, adding that new features have been added on the portal to facilitate the allottees/residents of unauthorized colonies interested in applying for regularization of their property.

To ensure quick and timely disposal of applications, the Housing and Urban Development Minister said that the officials involved in the process of dealing the applications would be required to take action in a fixed timeline which will be monitored. The whole process to issue the NoC would be completed maximum within 21 working days from the submission of the application on the portal, he said.
