The cost of damage is paid for illegal construction carried out in the past.
However, ensuring that unauthorized construction period is always difficult for the civil body.

To avoid confusion and minimize opportunities for misunderstandings, we have proposed to impose a uniform of 50% of the conversion rate as a cost of damage,” said Prem Shankar Jha, Deputy Commissioner, land and department Plantation, SDMC.
Store owners need to submit written statements that illegal construction will be removed by them or regulated by the building department within six months of execution of the transportation certificate after payment of fees.
“Beyond the permitted time limit, unauthorized construction will be destroyed,” said an official.
This amount will be an additional conversion and other fees, including Rs 5 Lakh for combining two stores, regardless of their size.
“Costs can be recovered from all stores at the RS 10 Lakh level for each merging.
The shopkeeper also needs to submit a structural safety certificate from architects or registered engineers and ownership with the proposed shops for merging,” Circular said.

Conversion costs will be calculated based on the level of the circle.
