ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT OF TOWN AND COUNTRY
PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 2016-17 (01.04.2016 to
31.03.2017)
1.0 BACKGROUND
The Town and Country Planning Department was created as a small cell of the H.P.
Public Works Department in the year 1964 and the same continued up to 1979. During
the year 1979, an independent Directorate was created but charge of the Director
continued to be held by the Engineer-in-Chief (B&R) or the Chief Engineer of H.P.
Public Works Department, till 1993, when an independent Director was appointed as
Head of the Department.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Town and Country Planning is engaged in a social transformation development process
to ensure creation of functionally workable, economically viable, socially acceptable,
environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing living environment for humanity
in both, rural and urban habitats, through optimum, just and balanced use of scarce land
resources in view of demographic, socio-economic, techno-legal dynamics, which is
foremost necessity of the day.
Town and Country Planning ensure planned, systematic, sustainable development of
urban and rural habitations and is a prerequisite for all modern development schemes.
Development Plans, Sectoral Plans and Town Planning Schemes go a long way in
catering to civic and other urban services infrastructure, transportation and other
requirements that ensure dynamism and a healthy living environment for humanity.
3.0 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENT
Himachal Pradesh, being a hill State, is endowed with rich eco-system and cultural
heritage. Although, there is a low level of urbanization in the State, yet during recent
years urbanization has been exerting high pressure on scarce urban land resources. There
are 59 small and medium census towns in the State, with only Shimla as Class-I city. As
per 2011 census, urban population of the State in these urban areas was 6, 88,552
persons, which is about 10.03% of the total population of the State. Due to various
developmental priorities of the Government activities and opening of new areas, a large
number of new growth centers are coming up very fast. The pressure on land in the State
has increased manifold, leading to haphazard and un-planned construction activities in
Towns, Growth Centers and their surrounding areas. With a view to manage and
regulate this increasing trend in urbanization and to check the un-authorized
construction activities, the Government of Himachal Pradesh had enacted Himachal
Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1977 and made it applicable to all major
Towns of the State.

9.0 THE HIMACHAL PRADESH APARTMENT AND PROPERTY REGULATION

In view of the changed housing demand scenario, the Government of Himachal Pradesh
enacted the Himachal Pradesh Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 2005 and Rules
there under in the Department of Housing, to regulate development of colonies and

The custodianship of this Act was given to HIMUDA by notifying C.E.O- cum-Secretary
as Competent Authority to exercise and perform all or any of the powers and functions of
the Competent Authority under the Act ibid. However, of late it was felt that assignment
of regulatory process under Act ibid to HIMUDA, which itself is a promoter, is not
appropriate. Therefore, in addition to normal duties and responsibilities of the Director,

statutory duties and responsibilities as envisaged in the Himachal Pradesh Apartment &
Property Regulation Act, 2005 of the Competent Authority have been assigned by
declaring the Director, Town and Country Planning as Competent Authority vide
notification No. HSG-A (3)-I-3/2010 dated 22.11.2010 of the Principal Secretary
(Housing) to the Government of Himachal Pradesh.
In view of above, the Department has assumed this new assignment by taking over
complete record thereof from HIMUDA. The following statutory functions are being
performed by the Department:-
1. Registration & Licensing of Promoters/Estate Agents.
2. To watch the interests of buyers by way of exercising check on sale agreements
between promoters & buyers.
3. To inspect & audit accounts of Promoters/Estate Agents.
4. To ensure provisioning of amenities by the Promoters till transfer of area to
local Bodies.
5. To issue completion and occupation certificates.
6. To ensure proper documentation & enforcement on Registration of Conveyance
by the Promoters.
7. To inspect working of Promoters and Estate Agents for ensuring compliance of
provisions of the Act ibid and rules made there under.
8. To publish annually in the Official Gazette the Report of the activities financed
from the Development Fund and the statement of Accounts.
9. To take cognizance of offences by persons or Promoters or Estate Agents and
initiate penal action.
Thereafter, the H.P. Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 2005 has been repealed
and its provisions incorporated in the H.P. Town & Country Planning Act, 1977 vide
Government Notification dated 21.09.2013 and Rules framed thereunder notified on
01.12.2014. The detail of the Registration as well as license cases issued under above
