[Resolved]  HUDA, Haryana — Excess Preferential Charges Levied by HUDA

Address: Jhajjar, Haryana

I am owner of Plot No.- 195, Sector - 9, Jhajjar, Haryana. The allotment of this plot is dated 28 July, 2011. It has been classified under Preferential ("P") Category. As per HUDA department (Town Planning Wing) policy dated 25th November, 2009, all plots which are facing a 24 meter wide road or are facing a park having area between 2000 sq meter to 8000 sq meter are declared under General Preferential ("GP") category, and accordingly preferential charges levied @ 5% of plot cost. Only those plots which are facing more than 24 meter wide road or are a corner plot or are facing a park having an area more than 8000 sq. meter or are abutting on one side by an open space of at least 40 inch in width can be declared Preferential ("P") category plot, and accordingly preferential charges are levied @ 10% of plot cost.
As per plot plan of Sector-9, Jhajjar (Drawing Number : DTP (JH) 340/09 Dated[protected], my plot falls under "GP" category, as it is located on a 24 meter wide road, is an in-between plot in row, and is not facing any park whatsoever. Yet it has been classified under "P" category, and till date I have paid excess preferential charges to the tune of Rs 89195/-.

I have written multiple times in last 6 months to HUDA department officials (even to the top-most level, Chief Administrator - HUDA, as well as Chief Secretary - Haryana Governemnt) , about the issue, However, without conducting any due-diligence on the raised concern, I was provided utterly wrong information by Estate Officer, Bahadurgarh three months back, and no response since then when I pointed out their faults.

I believe my voice is falling on dumb ears. I feel HUDA department officials are deliberately creating inconvenience to public, so that public should then run after them and get the work done by either ethical or unethical way.

Please Help.
