MHADA Redevelopment Projects
Expert handling of MHADA cessed building redevelopment with complete regulatory compliance
Overview
1) Regulation 33(7A) — Redevelopment of Dilapidated/Unsafe Buildings
What it covers: Applies to authorized tenant-occupied buildings in the Suburbs & Extended Suburbs and existing authorized non-cessed tenant occupied buildings in Mumbai City.
Key features: Rehabilitation FSI + incentive FSI. FSI available = FSI needed for rehabilitation of existing lawful tenants + 50% incentive FSI. For composite plots (tenant + non-tenant buildings), the already authorized FSI of the non-tenanted part is also counted in total. Additional rehab carpet area: Eligible tenants may get extra carpet area (e.g., ~5–8% depending on configuration). This encourages redevelopment of older dilapidated structures while ensuring tenants are rehoused with incentives.
2) Regulation 33(7B) — Additional FSI for Housing Societies
What it covers: Applies to existing residential housing societies (≥ 30 years old) that are not covered under: 33(7) (cessed buildings) or 33(7A) (dilapidated tenant/authorized buildings).
Main incentives: Additional FSI/BUA for redevelopment: 15% of the existing Built-Up Area (BUA) OR 10 m² per tenement, whichever is higher, is granted as incentive without premium. If this additional BUA plus existing BUA is still below the permissible FSI (based on road width), the society can avail more FSI by paying premium/TDR up to that limit. Staircase, lift, lobby areas may be treated favorably for FSI calculations (free of FSI or adjusted via premium rules). Existing members must be re-accommodated for the incentive to apply.
What this achieves: Encourages self-redevelopment of older co-operative societies by giving incremental built area, improving viability without high premiums.
3) Regulation 33(7) — Cessed Buildings
What it covers: Applies to buildings in Mumbai City (Island City) that were constructed before a certain date and for which cesses (building repair tax) have been historically collected. These are typically very old, structurally weak buildings with sitting tenants paying statutory rents under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act.
Key features:
• Tenant rehabilitation: Developers must provide alternate accommodation (transit housing) to existing tenants during redevelopment.
• Incentive FSI: The city grants free extra FSI (beyond the normal permissible FSI for that plot) to make the project viable. This extra FSI can be used for sale flats to offset tenant rehab costs.
• Ownership: Often land/building ownership is fragmented between landlords and multiple tenants. Developer typically enters into agreements with landlords and tenants collectively.
What it covers: Applies to authorized tenant-occupied buildings in the Suburbs & Extended Suburbs and existing authorized non-cessed tenant occupied buildings in Mumbai City.
Key features: Rehabilitation FSI + incentive FSI. FSI available = FSI needed for rehabilitation of existing lawful tenants + 50% incentive FSI.
