Mr.PM, You have been dreaming to build smart cities with proper planning. When I appreciate it, I request you to go for a standard uniform buildings for the entire city with uniform colors of paints and also uniform sizes / areas of dwellings. Such a planning will reduce the cost of construction considerably and the buildings looking alike except the different streets and blocks, will give a great image to see. You might have seen such type of dwellings in the suburbs of London, UK. - nagarajan

7. In finalizing the Town planning schemes, zone regulation and land usage must be clearly defined and there should be no hassle in getting N.A. permission if the development is as per the rules 8. The procedure for N.A. permission must be absolutely transparent and calls for good governance in revenue department. 9. Developers and end users must be encouraged to adopt green building practices by fiscal and taxation policies

4. Reduce Stamp duty and registration charges by providing differential rate of slabs depending on value, usage etc. 5. Standardization of sale deed draft or lease deed drafts for all property to minimize legal expenditure. 6. If builder or organizer pays stamp duty on land for proposed residential or commercial venture and subsequently on completion of project pass on title to the registered society or association releasing their charge or lien to avoid double stamp duty.

First and formost task must be to discourage inflow from rural areas, by developing the villages to the extent that population pressure on urban areas is reduced. develop new townships for specific projects of industrial nature with in the reasonable proximity of raw materials, with all infrastructures for comfortable living and working. Stop further growth of the exiting over populated cities by discouraging new esteblishments/industries/offices etc. and place them at a reasonable distaced areas, well connected with fast modes of transports.

Vary Good initiative,by the gov.of India First to incarage people to go in to near by areas of city and reduce population burden. If ant one rakes flat in radius of 20 km he should not charged for stamp duties and vat and other charges only register cost to be paid by him , And in cities like Pune they should give bonous coupon to use for using public trasport And also raw material like cement,still,etc used in project can be susadied. To reduce input cost, which will create huge rural employme

I feel we got good slogan (1) make in India (2) Adoption of city (3) Creating Manpower for world (4) Sawchh Bharat (5) Clean Ganga All things are for business man not for common man. If you want to contribute in any area no support, no motivation no guidance. It is only good paper work.
