Preface:-
Under Government Resolution Dt. 04.04.2002, inter-alia, it has been resolved to grant Government lands to the encroacher hut holders from the remaining Districts, other than the Districts of Mumbai and Mumbai Suburbs, who have been protected up to 01.01.1995, to recover from them the Market Value prevailing on the date of Declaration of such slums by way of Occupancy Price and instead of recovering interest and penal amount on the said price, to recover a sum equal to the Market Price by way of penal amount and interest. Moreover, apart from the slum dwellers, while regularising encroachments for residential purpose carried out up to 01.01.1995, a sum equal to 2.5 times the Market Value prevailing as on the date of encroachment and interest at the prevailing Rate is charged under this Government Resolution.
Encroachments carried out for commercial purpose—instead of price of land and the penal amount, a provision has been made for regularisation by charging a penal amount equal to five times the Market Price prevailing on the date of encroachments, as well as interest up to the date of Regularisation.
However, since then there has been no Policy in the Department of Revenue for the Regularisation of encroachments.
02. There have been large scale residential encroachments on the Government lands, as well as Gairan (pasture/cattle grazing) lands in the rural and urban areas of the State. In view of the Policy of the Central and State Government vis-à-vis “Housing for All”, the Government contemplated the matter of regularising such encroachments on certain Terms and Conditions. The Department of Rural Development, vide its Resolution Dt. 16.02.2018 and the Department of Urban Development, vide its Resolution Dt. 12.11.2018, have carried out revision, from time to time, and declared their Policy for the Regularisation of encroachments within their respective Operational Areas.
Accordingly, pursuant to the decision taken by the Hon’ble Cabinet in its Meeting held on 24.03.2026, vis-à-vis provisions of residential accommodation to each citizen from the State for the realization of the 3rd Goal of the 4 Main Goals under the Developed Maharashtra Policy, 2047 viz. “All Inclusive Maharashtra – Percolation of Development up to the last strata of the Society by addressing Regional Imbalance”, realization of Goal No. 11 of the 17 Goals listed under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) viz. Sustainable Cities and Communities, and introducing uniformity throughout the State, the Government, in supersession of all previous Government Resolutions in the Department of Revenue, concerning Regularisation of the Residential encroachments on Government lands carried out up to 01.01.2011, contemplated the matter of issuing a Revised and Consolidated Government Resolution.
Government Resolution:-
In order to settle the problem of accommodation faced by the poor and needy families in the State, the Government in the exercise of the powers conferred by Sections 40 and 51 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966 and subject to the provisions of Rules 43, 43A and 52 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue (Disposal of Government Land) Rules 1971, has resolved to regularise the encroachments carried out only for residential purpose in other Districts of the State, excluding Greater Mumbai on or before the date viz. 01.01.2011 and presently in existence, on certain conditions.
02. Pursuant to this Government Resolution, the following Revised Guidelines are hereby issued for the Regularisation of encroachments on Government lands in Districts of the State excluding the Districts of Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburbs carried out for Residential purpose.
(2.1) Eligibility for the Regularisation of Encroachments:-
(2.1.1) Only the encroachments for residential purpose carried out on or before the date viz. 01.01.2011 and presently in existence shall be eligible for Regularisation. However, in exceptional circumstances, the encroachments forming part of the encroachers’ own house in the same settlement/locality for meeting urgent day-to-day needs of the citizens such as – grocery shop, medical store, flour mill, small dispensary etc. should be regularised by treating it as part of the house.
(2.1.2) For the proof of encroachment dating back to the date 01.01.2011, the name in the Electoral Roll (Ward/Constituency-wise Electoral Rolls prepared for the polls of the respective Local Self-Government Bodies), Electricity Bills, Receipts of Property Tax or other Government documents for residential purpose (excluding Ration Card) such as Eight –A Extract of the Village Panchayat, Encroachment Survey Register, Slum Declaration Notification etc. shall be treated as admissible. Satellite Images, too, shall be held admissible as major evidence. Moreover, it shall also be mandatory to furnish one of the aforesaid residential Government proofs from the preceding one year, by way of current proof.
(2.1.3) Such encroachments should have been carried out only for self-habitation (residential purpose). Encroachment for commercial user shall not be eligible for regularisation under this Scheme.
(2.1.4) The residential encroachments as described above, shall be regularised only on such lands where their use for residential purpose is permitted by the Local Planning Authority (MMRDA, PMRDA, CIDCO/NAINA/Urban Authorities etc.), in the exercise of its Planning Powers under the Sanctioned Regional Plan, Development Plan, as well as the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR), as per the provisions of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966.
(2.1.5) In case of encroachments on Gairan (pasture) lands, in view of the directions given by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 28.01.2011 in case of Jagpal Singh and others v/s the State of Punjab and others (AIR 2011 Supreme Court 112), instead of regularising the encroachments carried out on Gairan lands up to 01.01.2011 by the landless labourers, the members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for residential purpose and instead of granting such lands to the individual beneficiaries, such lands shall be placed at the disposal of the concerned Local Planning Authority /Local Self-Government Body for providing accommodation to such encroachers under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (Public purpose).
(2.1.6) In case of bush forests, the directions Dt. 22nd May, 2025 issued by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, New Delhi in C.A. No.12465/2019 in Writ Petition No. 202/1995 regarding submission of a Proposal by the Central Empowered Committee to the Central Government for the de-notification of such areas during the course of Regularisation of encroachments should be followed. However, in such case, the instructions in this regard, should be followed.
(2.1.7) Directions are hereby given that while regularising encroachments under this Government Resolution, utmost case should be taken to ensure that an encroachment made by a person who is not a citizen of India, shall not be regularised, under any circumstance, whatsoever. If such encroachment is ever found, it should be forthwith removed and the concerned Police Station should be promptly intimated about such foreign family.
(2.1.8) For the Regularisation under this Policy of encroachments for residential purpose, carried out on the lands owned by the Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats in the urban areas and the lands owned by the Zilla Parishads, Panchayat Samitis and Village Panchayats in the rural areas, as well as the lands owned by the Local Planning Authorities, the Area-wise Committees constituted under this Government Resolution are competent and for this purpose, a separate Government Sanction is not necessary. Nevertheless, if any Rules or Guidelines for the Regularisation of such encroachments have been issued by the respective Department, then the concerned Agency would be obliged to follow such Rules/Instructions. The concerned Agencies should place the Proposals for Regularisation of such encroachments before the concerned Committees.
(2.2) Terms and Conditions:-
For the Regularisation of encroachments under this Scheme, it shall be mandatory to comply with the following conditions:-
(a) Single Benefit for Single Family:- The definition of “Family” shall include husband, wife (more than one husband and wife might be residing together in a house situated on the encroached land) and their unmarried dependent sons and daughters. One family can regularise only one encroachment in the whole of Maharashtra). It would be mandatory to enclose with the Application an Affidavit to that effect.
(b) Ban on Transfer:- Since the encroachment regularised area shall be held on New Tenure i.e. subject to Non-Transfer, the encroacher shall hold such area as Occupant Class-2. For the next 5 years from the date of Order directing Regularisation of encroachment, such land cannot be sold, rented out or transferred in any other manner nor subjected to the change of use. In the event of breach of this condition, the Order regularising encroachment and directing grant of such land shall be revoked and the land shall stand forfeited to the Government. District Collectors should ensure that under the column of other Rights in the Record of Rights (Village Form No. 7/12 or Property Card) a remark of “New Tenure” is duly recorded.
(c) Nature of Construction:- Only construction for “Residential” use shall be held admissible. If any part on such land is used for commercial (e.g. shop, garage) purpose and such encroachment is to be regularised then a sum equal to 25 percent of the Market Value of such encroached portion of land under the prevailing Annual Statement of Rates should be charged as one Occupancy Price.
(d) Technical Criteria and No-Objection Certificate:- In case of proximity of the encroached land to the public utility (e.g. Railway, Highway, Electric Lines), as well as in case of rivers/nullahs, forests, CRZ and NDZ, No-Objection Certificates (NOC) of the concerned Department/Authority shall be necessary.
(2.3) Restrictions on Space and Fees:- In Rural, as well as Urban Areas, an area up to 1,500 Sq. feet may be regularised.
(1) All Residential encroachments up to 500 Sq. feet area should be regularised free of cost.
(2) While regularising Residential encroachments having an area in excess of 500 Sq. feet, but not exceeding 1500 Sq. feet, in the first instance, the encroachment up to 500 Sq. feet should be regularised free of cost.
(3) For the area above 500 Sq. feet, a sum equal to 10 percent of the Market Price of the land under the prevailing Annual Statement of Rates should be charged and if any part of Residential premises is put to commercial user, a sum equal to 25 percent of the prevailing Market Value shall be charged.
(4) Where an encroacher with a view to availing of the benefits of the Scheme, has expressed a desire to have his encroachment regularised, but the encroached area of such encroacher exceeds 1,500 Sq. feet, then the encroachment in excess of 1,500 Sq. feet area of such encroacher should not be regularised. Such encroachment should be removed. The concerned Agency should ensure that there shall not be re-encroachment on the site, upon clearance of encroachment. If the original encroacher again makes an encroachment upon the cleared site, it shall be treated as the breach of condition and the encroachment standing on the original regularised site, too, should be removed.
(2.4) Procedure for Implementation:-
1. Time Limit for Applications:- The persons (not being institutions) who fulfill the Terms and Conditions prescribed under this Government Resolution, shall be eligible to have their encroachments regularised and such persons shall have a time frame up to 31st December, 2026 for filing their applications for regularisation of their encroachments. The eligible persons whose applications are so received up to this date shall be protected pending Regularisation of their encroachment. However, the encroachments of persons who do not file their applications up to the date and those of other Ineligible Persons/Bodies shall be liable for removal on any date thereafter. Competent Authorities should undertake a Direction Action Programme and fix a time frame for the removal of such encroachments. However, in all such cases, if there are any orders of Hon’ble Courts, action should be initiated only in conformity with the orders.
2. Acceptance of Applications and Proof and Scrutiny, thereof:-
In the areas of Municipal Corporations and “A” Class Municipalities, the concerned Ward Officers of the Municipal Bodies should accept the applications for the Regularisation of encroachments. They should scrutinize the received applications and the supporting proofs and forward them to the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation, along with their Remarks concerning Eligibility/Ineligibility. The Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation should once again verify such applications vis-à-vis Eligibility/Non-eligibility and forward them for a final decision to the Committee presided over by the District Collector.
In the areas of other “B” and “C” Class Municipalities/Municipal Councils/Nagar Panchayats, the concerned Chief Officers should accept the applications for the Regularisation of encroachments within their operational areas. They should scrutinize the received applications and the supporting proof and forward them to the Committees headed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, along with their remarks vis-à-vis Eligibility/Non-Eligibility.
In Rural areas, the concerned Gram Sevaks should accept the applications for the Regularisation of encroachment and forward them to the concerned Tahsildar. Tahsildars should scrutinize the applications and supporting proof received by them from the respective Village Panchayats and place them before the Committee presided over by themselves for the purpose of Eligibility/Non-Eligibility.
Applications should be entered in a separate Register and acknowledgment, thereof, should be given to the Applicant. The veracity of applications should be scrutinized on the basis of such documents as the Register of Property Tax available with the Local Self-Government Bodies, Encroachment Survey Registers, Slum Declaration Notification, the data pertaining to Electricity Bills dating back to 01.01.2011 available with MahaVitaran and Satellite Images, if available etc.
The concerned Municipal Corporations, Municipalities/Municipal Councils/Nagar Panchayats, other Local Planning Authorities, as well as Block Development Officers should provide the requisite manpower and other ancillary resources required for the implementation of this Government Resolution as per the requisition of the Tahsildars, Sub-Divisional Officers and District Collector’s office. Moreover, the beneficiaries in Gaothan areas who do not have ownership of the land should be held eligible on the basis of Property Tax Receipts for the preceding 3 years.
3. Self-Declaration:- The Applicant should file an Affidavit to verify the authenticity of the information and proof furnished by him. Since only one encroachment is to be regularised throughout the State of Maharashtra, the Applicant would be obliged to furnish a Self-Declaration to that effect along with his application. If the information and proofs furnished by the Applicant are ever found to be incorrect, the Applicant shall stand disqualified under this Scheme and instead of regularising the encroachment on the land the same shall be removed.
3. Survey:- During the course of Regularisation of encroachments, an official survey of the concerned land should be conducted by the Department of Land Records for the demarcation of boundaries and measurement of the houses/plots held by all encroachers and thereafter the Competent Authority should proceed to sanction the proposal for Regularisation of encroachment. A survey of land without charging any fees by the Department of Land Records is mandatory.
5. Objections and Suggestions:- A Proclamation (Davandi) by the Kotwal/Talathi/Village Panchayat Peon/all Urban Bodies and their Local Officers within the Local areas inviting objections against the proposed Regularisation of encroachments within 15 days.
6. Recognition as Occupant Class-2:- If the person holding the regularised encroached land is a male and his wife is alive, then such land shall be regularised in the joint names of the husband and wife and the same shall be granted on New Tenure by “Occupant Class-2” (Transfer and Division Prohibited). After issue of the Order directing Regularisation of encroachment, the encroacher should be made to execute an Agreement in Form 14 appended to the Maharashtra Land Revenue (Disposal of Government Land) Rules, 1971.
7. Restrictions on the Land earmarked for Public Utility:- The encroachments carried out on the lands reserved for Nistar Rights under Section 22 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, the encroachments on lands reserved for crematoriums, playgrounds and schools/hospitals, as well as the encroachments on any other lands earmarked for public purpose as per the provisions of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, shall not be regularised, under any circumstances, whatsoever. If such encroachments are to be regularised, then in the first instance, they will have to be incorporated in the Residential Zone by a process of law or the concerned Authority would be required to change Reservation on such land in favour of Residential purpose.
8. Area of Encroached land required to be Regularised:- While passing an Order directing Regularisation of encroachments, the area determined in the Survey conducted by a Deputy Superintendent of Land Records/City Survey Officer should be treated as the final area and accordingly, the amount of Occupancy Rights should be determined.
9. Competent Authority for the Regularisation of Encroachment:- In the areas of Municipal Corporations and “A” Class Municipalities, the District Collector, in the areas of “B” and “C” Class Municipalities/Nagar Panchayats, the concerned Sub-Divisional Officers and in the Rural areas, the concerned Tahsildars are delegated the powers vis-à-vis Regularisation of encroachments.
10. Action in case of Disqualification:- The Applicants whose applications stand disqualified shall be served with a Notice under Section 53 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966 directing them to remove encroachment within 30 days. If the orders are not complied with, they shall be evicted by force and the cost, thereof, shall be recovered from the encroachers.
11. Ineligible Encroachments:- Encroachments situated within the riverbeds, nullahs, public roads, forests and dangerous areas (landslide prone), as well as the wetlands/CRZ affected encroachments shall not be regularised. In case of sub-judice lands, the decision shall be subject to the final decision of the Court.
12. Use of Lands which have become free from Encroachments:- Temporary possession of the lands which have become free from encroachments as described above should be forthwith handed over to the Local Self-Government Body for the purpose of management. The concerned Local Self-Government Bodies should protect the lands of which temporary possession is handed over to them, as described above by fencing them. The Local Self-Government Bodies may utilise such lands for the public amenities and facilities of the citizens from such settlement/locality with the approval of the Competent Authority by following the prescribed procedure.
13. If MHADA/Slum Rehabilitation Authority is ready to regularise and construct pucca houses on the site of any encroached colony within the areas of a Municipal Corporation/Municipality, then the MHADA/Slum Rehabilitation Authority should be made to develop such colony. The Department of Revenue should propose such encroached area to the MHADA/Slum Rehabilitation Authority.
14. Competent Authorities would be obliged to take a decision in the matter of Regularisation of encroachments within 90 days of the application for Regularisation of encroachment made by the Encroacher Applicant.
15. If more than one family are residing in the house constructed on the Government encroached land, then upon Regularisation of such encroachment, the Lease of such land should be granted in the common names of all concerned Heads of families (Husband and Wife).
16. If an Instrument for the Government land with a Regularised encroachment is to be registered, then Registration Fees of Rs. 1,000/- should be charged for the Registration up to 1,000 Sq. feet area and Rs. 2,000/- should be charged for the Registration up to 1,500 Sq. feet area.
17. If a Government land with Regularised encroachment is to be converted into Occupant Class-1 after five years of the Regularisation of such encroachment, then the provisions of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966 shall apply to such conversion.
18. Where Regularisation of encroachment on a Government land carried out prior to 01.01.2011 is unavoidable, but a use for any reason other than Residential purpose, is permitted on such land, then the Planning Authority, in the first instance, should take steps under Sections 20 and 37 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act for the change of zone in favour of Residential user.
19. Where Regularisation of encroachments on Government lands carried out prior to 01.01.2011, is not possible under any circumstances, whatsoever (e.g. encroachments within the flood line of rivers and nullahs, encroachments within forests, CRZ, NDZ and upon Railway Lines, Highways and Electric Lines etc.), then such encroachments should not be regularised. However, in order that such families are not deprived of shelter, the concerned Competent Authority should propose a village-wise list of all such eligible families and provide them houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna or in the rural areas, a village-wise list of eligible families should be prepared at the level of Revenue Circle and such families should be settled by making them a grant of 1,000 Sq. feet plots on Government lands, as far as possible adjacent to a bigger Revenue Village.
20. In Urban areas, Ward-wise lists of eligible families (in Municipal Corporations/Municipal Councils/Nagar Panchayats) should be prepared and they should be provided houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna. If possible, new colonies should be built in Urban Areas along the lines of Ray Nagar Colony at Solapur.
