However, sources said that concerns about the development charges remain as MCG has faced challenges in collecting development charges during the regularisation of other such colonies as well.The process of regularisation started in 2018 and a total of 47 colonies were to be regularised by MCG. The main reason behind the resistance among residents in paying the development charges is the steep increase in per square meter rates. There is resistance towards the payment of the development charges since the charges have been increased to Rs 1,250 per square metre from Rs 150 per square metre. Of these, 15 were regularised in 2018 while another 32 are pending.
