Deadline for land use change in Uttarakhand fixed, process will now be online
Land use change (CLU) in Uttarakhand will now be easy, transparent, and timely. The government has provided this facility through an online portal. This process will be completed in 18 steps, ending the years-long wait for land use change.
The Housing Department has issued the latest guidelines for land use change, which divides land into three categories. While the rules for these three categories vary slightly, all require an 18-20-step process within the stipulated timeframe. Land use change for 4,000-10,000 square meters will involve the authority level, for 10,000-50,000 square meters, the Uttarakhand Housing and Urban Development Authority, and for areas above 50,000 square meters, the authority and governance committee will also be involved.
This process, combined with all steps, can be completed in approximately six to 12 months. According to Housing Department officials, the online portal will increase transparency, files will not remain pending and common citizens will no longer have to run around offices for land use change.
