if the area falls within the limits of corporation, and MAP is not approved and construction is 15-20 years old and now corporation send you a notice for demolition,

First of all, Yes, Corporation can send you a notice for demolition, 

and you are advised to make a reply of the notice at earliest,

and, in the meantime, get a stay from the Court disclosing facts, 

you still can get the layout passed after depositing the required fee.

1) unauthorised construction can be demolished at any time by muncipal corporation 

2) mere payment of property tax does not legalise unauthorised construction 

Yes it can be demilushe

Yes it can be demolished, or a regularisation order may be passed

1. payment of house tax does not legalise construction of the concerned house without sanction of the Municipal Corp[oration.

2. Ordinarily such old houses constructed without sanction are not demolished by the Municipality.

3. However, you can file a court cases against such demolition order and will be able to drag the matter for years availing injunction against the said order. 

I already told you it can be regularised. However, the municipality has every right to demolish it. 

Have you received any notice from the municipal corporation? 

Bye laws are changed now, such old construction cannot be demolish. And no permission require but only to inform municipality if area of land is more than 300sq mtr.

This is present area so at that time it will be different, No issues.

You can apply for regularisation of unauthorised construction done by you 

pay the regularisation charges 

1. Property constructed without necessary civic approval cam be demolished unless it is regualrised on payment of penalty.

2. If house tax is being paid regularly then it is most unlikely that it will be demolished. 

your construction is unauthorised 

2) there would be alway Damocles  sword hanging over your head 

3) better pay regularisation charges and regularise the construction 

Dear Sir,

- In Haryana all the colonies are built up like this. No need to worry as it is old property. 

- Besides if any serious issue arises, do file the petition U/s 39 Ss 1&2 for a permanant and temporary injunction to stop the MCR for any demolition.

File an RTI application seeking status of all houses built in the area like layout plan, issuance of notice, action taken etc.

You can also lodge a complaint on CM window for a quick action

1. There has been a law which says that if the government has not acted in time then they can’t take the befor of their own fault.
2. There is a limitation period to take action against every illegal act done by anyone.
3. If at the time permission was necessary and you had not taken then also authority can’t demolish the same as the limitation period of 12 years has elapsed.
4. In fact, if you check your Municipal laws then there itself, must be an exemption for buildings built prior to some specific time period. 

1. Municipalities keep on sleeping on complaints of illegal constructions, hence they are not demolished.

2. Unless there is a scheme for regularisation formulated by the govt you cannot regularise it. 

In some states there is scheme called Builder regularisatiion scheme BRS. You can obtain permission from Local authority through this scheme kindly contact your local property lawyer. 

owners of irregular land and buildings can pay a penalty to the govt to regularise the status of their assets. 

Municipal Corporation can demolish it but in majority cases the govt passes law to regularize such illegal houses

Since the approval of housing plan and lay out plan have not been obtained from the concerned authorities at that time , however the taxes are being paid properly, you may apply for regularization of the same by paying the necessary penalty or fines accordingly.

There was a regularisation scheme going on in Haryana recently, you may confirm the same and rush to get it approved or regularised.\

The demolition rule will be applicable for all in common and they will not select any particular house for any action on this.

The government will come out with the schemes  for regularizing the illegal structures or buildings, you may avail that opportunity.

Demolishing the building at this stage will create huge uproar in the society and that will being lot of law and order problems in the atmosphere hence the government will introduce schemes to regularise the unapproved structures.

Think and act wisely when you get an opportunity.

Nothing like auto regularized, but such single small old constructions are not taken seriously by authorities.

1. Your house built with out taking sanction from the Municipality  does not become legal since the Municipalily has not demolished it for such a long period.

2. However, you can file the WQ.P before the High Court for staying such demolition order on the ground that such construction was the order of old days in yiour area since there are several such buildings which were built in your area without any municipal sanction.

1. Municipalitry will not approach you to regularise your house which was constructed illegally.

2. Siunce they had not demolished itv earlier, you canb not demand that it can not be demolished now.

3. If you get any chance to regularise the illegal construction of your said house, you should grab then opportunity to get rid of the problem once for all.
