Frequently Asked Questions on UCs (FAQs)

A1. PM-UDAY (Prime Minister – Unauthorized Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana) Scheme is a decision of Union Cabinet to confer the ownership or transfer/ mortgage rights to the residents of Unauthorized Colonies in Delhi.

A2. The PM-UDAY scheme is for conferment of property rights to the residents of 1731 Unauthorized Colonies (UCs) in Delhi. The regularization of UCs entails approval of layout plans of the colony, which in turn requires fire clearances of the colony and the properties therein from Department of Delhi Fire Services, Govt of NCT of Delhi.

The conferment of property rights for Govt / Pvt Land under PM-UDAY will allow the residents of UCs the following:

a. The residents can sale/purchase their properties without any hindrance.

b. Residents can avail loans from banks / financial institutions against their properties.

c. Residents can get building plans approved if they want to change anything in the present building or construct house in the vacant plot for which they have got property rights.

Further, conferment of rights opens up huge possibility of redevelopment. DDA will come out with relaxed development control norms and incentives in terms of higher Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in these colonies so that new development can take place with much wider roads, green areas, public spaces like parks etc., adequate infrastructure in terms of water, sewer, sanitation etc., social amenities like schools, hospitals, entertainment etc. This will bring ease in life of citizens and improve their quality of lives. Therefore, conferment of rights will give far more to the residents of UCs than mere regularization, for name sake.
