About Slum Rehabilitation Authority, Brihanmumbai
SRA is the regulatory authority for India's largest slum-rehabilitation programme — Mumbai's slum-rehab schemes that have housed hundreds of thousands of slum-dweller families since 1995. SRA's scope is policy and approval: it sets carpet-area norms (currently 300 sq ft per rehab tenement), FSI incentives for developers, eligibility criteria, TDR/PR (Transferable Development Rights / Pratisthapana) frameworks, and the maintenance deposit norm (₹40,000 per tenement). Actual construction priced by developers references Maharashtra PWD State SSR for civil scope. SRA's published GRs (Government Resolutions) and circulars are useful as policy reference but don't provide construction-cost rate-analysis data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SRA publish a construction-cost SOR?
No. SRA is a regulatory authority. Its published documents are GRs (Government Resolutions), policy circulars, FSI/TDR formulas, and rehabilitation building norms. Actual construction cost is priced by developers using Maharashtra PWD SSR + market rates.
What's the carpet area norm?
Currently 300 sq ft per rehabilitation tenement (per SRA GR). This was increased from 269 sq ft over multiple revisions. Developers must provide this minimum carpet area to eligible slum-dwellers free of cost in exchange for development rights.
What's the maintenance deposit?
SRA mandates a one-time maintenance deposit of ₹40,000 per rehabilitation tenement that the developer pays into a corpus. Earnings from this corpus fund building maintenance for the rehabilitation building's first ~10 years.
Who builds the rehabilitation buildings?
Private developers under SRA-approved schemes. Developer prices construction using Maharashtra PWD SSR + market-rate inputs. SRA verifies compliance with carpet-area, FSI and quality standards but doesn't price construction directly.
Are TDR and PR the same?
TDR (Transferable Development Rights) is the older tradeable certificate that developers earn on rehabilitation projects and use elsewhere in MMR. PR (Pratisthapana, or Reserved Plots) is a newer approach giving developers identified plots elsewhere in lieu of TDR. Both incentive mechanisms — neither relates to construction-cost rate analysis.
