Mumbai BMC launches OC Amnesty Scheme; Technical issues slow applications
What happened
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation sanctioned an Occupation Certificate (OC) Amnesty Scheme in Mumbai in August, which aims to benefit over 19,000 buildings that currently lack an OC. The guidelines for the scheme were issued on September 9, but as of November 3, only four societies have successfully applied due to technical issues with the BMC's AutoDCR website. Mumbai Suburban Minister Ashish Shelar attended an awareness program regarding the policy.

Why it matters
The scheme provides regulatory relief for buildings lacking proper documentation, which is a significant factor in property valuation and legal compliance within Mumbai. The policy is being implemented under the authority of the Government of Maharashtra, impacting housing stability across the state.
