against it, instead of in-situ FSI, then he may be awarded TDR. The generation of TDR or in-situ
FSI shall be equivalent to the quantum mentioned in TDR Regulation.

Provided that, it shall not be necessary to provide such Amenity space, if the land is proposed to
be developed for IT or ITES users only and having area upto 2.00 Hectare.

Provided further that, if the amenity space is less than 200sq.m. in area and not suitable for
creation of amenity, then, Metropolitan Commissioner may instead of open land insist for amenity
space in the form of built up area equal to 50% of amenity space as decided by the Commissioner
This built up amenity space preferable on ground floor and TDR shall be allowed for such
construction amenity as mentioned in TDR regulations.

Provided that, this regulation shall not be applicable to Regulation no.25.4.2 (i.e Regulation for
allowing Residential /Commercial user in Industrial Zone),wherein separate provision for land for
public amenities / utilities is made.

Provided further that, this regulation shall not be applicable where entire development permission
is for amenities specified in definition of amenity space.

Provided further that, this regulation shall not be applicable for revision of earlier sanctioned
development permissions granted under the regulations in force prior to these regulations, where
no such amenity space is provided in earlier sanctioned development permission.However, if
some amenity space is provided in the earlier permission, then quantum of such amenity space in
the revised permission –
i) shall be limited to the area provided in earlier permission.
ii) shall not be reduced even though area of such amenity space is more than what is
specified in this regulation

decided by the Metropolitan Commissioner. If the Metropolitan Commissioner is of the opinion
that the amenity space is required to be develop for Playground, Garden, Park, Primary School,
High School, Hospital, Dispensary, Fire Brigade Station, Police Station, Electric Sub-Station,
Parking and like other services, etc. then, such amenity space shall be handed over to the authority
and the Authority shall develop for the said purpose. If the Metropolitan Commissioner is of the
opinion that, the amenity space is not required for above mentioned purposes then on satisfaction
that the proposal is in public interest he may allow the owner to develop the same for the other
amenities mentioned in this regulation.

However, building plan for development of such amenity shall be got approved along with
the regular proposal of development on the land and the development of such amenity shall be
carried out ahead of development on owner’s land. At any point of time, if it is observed that there
is breach of condition, the development permission of the entire land shall be revoked by the
Municipal Commissioner. The agreement to that effect shall be executed and also condition to that
effect shall be incorporated in commencement letter.

After construction of the amenity, it shall be the responsibility of the owner to maintain the
amenity and make it available for the use by the public, on reasonable charges, wherever
necessary, on terms and condition as may be decided by the Metropolitan Commissioner. This
shall be the part of agreement to be executed between the Metropolitan Commissioner and the
owner.
Wherever, after construction of amenity, it is to be handed over to the Authority as per agreement,
then, the owner shall be entitled for the further TDR as mentioned in TDR Regulation.

Any other use not mentioned in these regulations may be allowed to be developed by the
Metropolitan Commissioner similar to the use of amenity.

Provided that, the amenity spaces which are earmarked in the layout tentatively or finally
sanctioned earlier and not developed so far, may also be allowed to be developed as mentioned in
this regulation.

certificate of structural safety. Built-up area of such cabin(s) shall not be counted towards built-up
area or FSI.
(k) No permission for installation of TCS/BS shall be granted on buildings which are unauthorized
and structurally unsafe. If permission for installation of such structures is granted on a building,

as prescribed in Regulation No.31.4 (b) hereinabove, for every such renewal. If TSP/IP fails to
apply for renewal alongwith all necessary documents before the expiry of earlier permission, then
such TSP/IP shall be liable for action under the provisions of the Maharashtra Regional and Town
Planning Act, 1966.
(m) In case of any existing TCS/BS on a slum structure, every effort shall be made to relocate such

structure or till the redevelopment of the slum, whichever is earlier.
(n) While granting permission for TCS/BS, the Metropolitan Commissioner shall stipulate that
TSP/IP shall conduct regular audit in accordance with the directions/guidelines issued by TERM

(a) Prior to installation of TCS/BS, the TSP/IP shall have to obtain Site clearance from the
Standing Advisory Committee on Frequency Allocation (SACFA) of the Department of
Telecommunication(DoT) for every site from the point of view of interference with other wireless
users, aviation hazards and obstruction to any other existing microwave links.
(b) The Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation from BTS towers shall be subject to the
regulations framed by the DoT from time to time. The TSP/IP shall periodically conduct audit and
monitor EMF radiation in Urban localities, hospitals and educational/industrial /residential /
recreational premises, especially around the Protected Areas (PAs) and ecologically sensitive
areas, in accordance with the guidelines issued by DoT in this regard. It shall be binding on TSP/
IP to follow the mechanism prescribed by the DoT/TERM Cell at local level for ensuring control
on the EMF radiation and for notifying on continual basis the radiation level at critical location.
For all the existing as well as new BTSs/Towers, TSPs are required to submit self-certificates
periodically in the format prescribed by TEC, DoT, in order to ensure that normally all general
public areas around the TCS/BS site are within the safe EMR exposure limits. Audit of the self-
certification furnished by the TSPs shall be done by the TERM Cell periodically. TERM Cell shall
carry out test audit of the BTS sites on random basis as per the guidelines received from DoT and
also in respect of al1cases where there is a public complaint. The TERM Cell shall have due regard
to the instructions issued by DoT regarding technical audit of TCS/BS, including radiation of
towers within safe limits. These shall include Roof Top/Ground Based./Pole Mounted/Wall
Mounted Towers. The TERM Cell shall also verify antenna orientation, safe distance from the
Tower (exclusion zone) etc. For non-compliance of EMF standards, Telecom Service Provider
shall be liable for penal action by the TERM Cell and/or Department of Telecommunication
(DoT). Any violation noticed may attract heavy penalties on TSPs and may also lead to shut down
of TCS/ BS, in case the violation persists.

aggregate and sand. The filtered rain water may be channelled to the refilled pit for recharging the
bore-well.
iii) An impressive surface/underground storage tank of required capacity may be constructed in
the setback or other open spaces and the rain water may be channelled to the storage tank. The
storage tank shall always be provided with ventilating covers and shall have drawn-off taps

b) 20 mm stone aggregate as lower middle layer upto 20% of the depth.
c) Coarse sand as upper middle layer upto 20% of the depth.
d) A thin layer of fine sand as top layer.

 e) Top 10% of the pits/trenches will be empty and a splash is to be provided in this portion in such
a way that roof top water falls on the splash pad.
f) Brick masonry wall is to be constructed on the exposed surface of pits/trenches and the cement
mortar plastered. The depth of wall below ground shall be such that the wall prevents lose soil
entering into pits/ trenches. The projection of the wall above ground shall at least be 15 cm.
g) Perforated concrete slabs shall be provided on the pits/trenches.
h) If the open space surrounding the building is not paved, the top layer up to a sufficient depth
shall be removed and refilled with coarse sand to allow percolation of rain water into ground.

earthwork. The structure shall be designed such that no dampness is caused in any part of the walls
or foundation of the building or those of an adjacent building.
vii) The water so collected/recharged shall as far as possible be used for non-drinking and non-
cooking purpose. Provided that when the rain water in exceptional circumstances will be utilised
for drinking and/or cooking purpose, it shall be ensured that proper filter arrangement and the
separate outlet for bypassing the first rain water has been provided. Provided further that, it will be
