Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has come up with a novel plan to generate revenue. It wants to give the many buildings it owns to private parties for their activities, and also for maintenance and management.
The BMC has about 950 buildings housing community centres, dispensaries, libraries and gymnasiums. Some are in use. The ones that are not are buildings which the BMC received in lieu of extra floor space index (FSI) against designated reservation on plots from private builders. The BMC is now framing a policy to hand over such buildings to charitable and non-governmental organisations. This policy will generate about Rs150 crore.
The buildings will be tendered. For the top category, the deputy municipal commissioner (improvement) will be the deciding authority.
A building will be given for only one year, following which a five-year extension may be provided.
Rahul Shevale, chairman, standing committee, BMC, supports the policy. "The BMC is not able to manage all.
