He said a high-level meeting in this regard will be called when the House is in session.
Annex II comprises a list of eligible and non-eligible slum dwellers.
As per existing practice, the names of the new owners would not be recorded in Schedule 2, leading to huge confusion in various Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) projects across the city. But now this will be solved.
Minister Save was responding to a question raised by BJP legislator Ashish Shelar during a recall motion.
Shelar informed the minister that many SRA slum rehabilitation projects have been stalled for over two decades in Mumbai.
“After the enactment of Schedule 2, there was no provision to accept the transfer of cabins in the name of the new owner. Even in the event of the death of a slum dweller, the heirs had to apply to the SRA for an inheritance certificate.
“Once Schedule 2 is promulgated by a competent authority, transfers are not accepted because it is made after taking into consideration all the objections and suggestions and even the competent authority does not have the right to modify it.
“Many projects in Mumbai have been stuck for more than 20-25 years. Many people had to sell their cabins for personal reasons, but the cabins are not registered in the names of the new owners,” he said.
Shelar questioned that if the cottage could be sold before completion of Schedule 2 and can also be sold after completion of the scheme, why can't it be sold when the work is in progress?
“What is the fault of the favela inhabitants if the project is delayed?” he questioned and demanded that the government change this rule.
Other legislators Atul Bhatkhalkar, Amit Satam, Yogesh Sagar, Tamil Selvan and Ram also participated in the debate.
Minister Save assured the House that the Government would look positively into the matter.
"Very soon a high-level meeting under the leadership of the Prime Minister and Deputy Chief Ministers will be convened and a decision will be reached, which will bring great relief to the slum dwellers of Mumbai," the minister said.
