Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC)

Nearly after one month Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) issued a notice to Concord developers, which is one of the real estate developer, whereas; this notice was under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning (MRTP) Act, Suraj Parmar, who is chairman of the firm accused the TMC for adopting dilly-dallying tactics to give permissions for finished projects.

Suraj Parmar is also the president of the Maharashtra Chambers of Housing Industry, Thane unit, stated that before a year, our real estate firm had applied for OC (Occupancy Certificate) for the project of Cosmos Horizon at Pokhran Road, but instead of giving the reasons for holding the permission, TMC (Thane Municipal Corporation) issued Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning (MRTP) notice and due to that I had paid fine to the TMC. The developer blames that few authorities of TMC that they are harassing real estate player without any reason.

However, civic officials of TMC refuted the charges by stating that the MRTP notice was issued according to the provision of rules.” TMC had initiated the action against Concord developers as the developer, in one of his projects; they had allegedly handed over possession to flat owners despite without having the mandatory OC.

Meanwhile, on last Thursday, Vikrant Chavan, Congress group leader in the TMC wrote a letter to TMC chief and requested that TMC should take stern action against erring developers in Thane. “It is a serious matter that the head of MCHI, Thane is not complying with the norms” whereas; in reply Parmar clarified that “few people with vested interests are trying to malign the image of our firm”.
