Single-window clearance: CREDAI seek PM intervention

In order to make property sector transparent and corruption free, realtor's apex industry body the CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India) has sought prime minister's intervention for a single window clearance for developing projects.

The CREDAI had presented a comprehensive check list for single window clearance to urban development minister Kamal Nath in Singapore earlier this year (2011).

Mr. Lalit Kumar Jain, President, CREDAI  said "Cost goes up by 40% due to delay in approvals, which generally takes 1-2 yeard. We need intervention at highest level for having a single window clearance for real estate projects, which will not only help in reducing cost but also check corruption"  

The CREDAI's check list incorporates all the approvals required from different departments at central and states levels, he said, adding that the projects which comply with the check-list should be given approval in one month.

Mr. Lalit Kumar Jain also said, "We have observed that it is not practically possible for the developer or the association to coordinate with these many people and departments to get the required approvals and clearances. Thus, we feel a strong need of prime minister's intervention and urge Prime Minister's Office to combat these issues. The CREDAI wrote the letter to PM last month and had also sought meeting""

"We strongly believe that a solid political will is required for inter departmental co-ordination and clean mandate to be issued to all the departments for single window clearance. Besides reduction in cost, housing supply and government's revenue would double if there was no delay in approvals." Jain added.
