ORDER
Whereas Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority (Building) Rules, 1996
(hereinafter called the Rules) were framed under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and
Development Act, 1995 primarily to regulate and promote construction of buildings on plots/ sites
allotted under the said Act. In order to have a uniform policy for compounding certain violations,
a Policy was framed by PUDA vides order No. PUDA / Policy-2003 / 7486-7505 dated
06.11.2003 for compounding certain violations in 2003, which was amended, vide Order No.

2010/11408 dated 07.09.2010. Consequent to the creation of this Authority in 2006, policies of
PUDA were adopted by GMADA for implementation within the area under GMADA jurisdiction.
Whereas, it has now been observed that the enhancement in the rates for
compounding such violations were not commensurate with the inflationary trends, as well as it
was felt that the date of enhancement should be made annual and linked to the financial year.
After careful consideration of the matter and recommendations made by the
committee in the larger public interest, I, [Link], Chief Administrator, Greater Mohali Area
Development Authority, in exercise of powers conferred under proviso to Section 157 of the
Punjab Regional and Town Planning Act, 1995, hereby prescribe the increase in rates of
compensation for compounding of the violations of PUDA (Building) Rules, 1996 as provided in
the Schedule attached to this order, instead of demolition or alteration of such buildings , to be
effective immediately. However, in the case of non-compoundable violations, the buildings shall
have to be altered as per Rules.
The rates prescribed shall be increased by 10% over and above the rates
prescribed above on 1st April of every financial year with first increase effective from 1st April
2013.
However, it is made clear that no violation of building bye-laws shall be tolerated
and any construction raised in such violation in future shall be demolished at the risk and cost of
the violator.
This order is in continuation of the earlier issued vide Endorsement no PUDA
/Policy/ 2003 /7486-7505 dated 6-11-2003 and other subsequent orders issued as above.
