Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) has proposed to increase the development, security, and conservation charges for the construction of residential and commercial buildings in its jurisdiction by 100%, a news source reported. Officials concerned will present the proposal for the increased charges in a board meeting scheduled for today.
The charges to be increased include development charges, security fees, and checking fees for the building plans for new constructions. Additionally, RCB has proposed a similar increase for mutation and conservation charges for already constructed buildings.
The building committee had also presented similar suggestions for increasing the charges in the last board meeting, which were not accepted.
Meanwhile, RCB has planned to carry out a digital survey of all the sites that fall within its jurisdiction. The civic body has appointed a team of experts, who will conduct the survey at a cost of PKR 30,000,000. Three cantonment officers will assist this team.
During the survey, the experts will include a record of residential and commercial units, along with property numbers as well as structures like water and electricity transmission lines, pillars, boundary pillars, roads, trees, etc.
