Sectors 76-80: GMADA Writes to Govt for Reduction of Enhancement Charges
Hindustan Times Chandigarh|January 05, 2025
The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) has sent a proposal to the state government to reduce the enhancement charges on residential plots in Sectors 76 to 80 by around ₹800 per square metre following objections raised by around 30,000 residents living in these five sectors.

MOHALI:

Enhancement charges refer to the additional amount paid to landowners against acquisition. At the time of the allotment of these plots, GMADA had obtained an undertaking from the allottees, for payment of enhancement charges as decided by the authority.

Residents had moved plea in HC

As per residents, the initial enhancement amount, in 2013, was ₹300 crore but as GMADA failed to collect it in a timely manner, it ended up adding ₹288 crore in interest, which it tried to shift onto the allottees. The allottees had then moved the Punjab and Haryana high court, challenging the decision. The latest proposal is an outcome of the residents' plea in the HC in October last year.
