Redevelopment eligibility checker
Answer a few honest questions about your society and plot. See how ready you are, which DCPR scheme likely applies, and exactly what to fix before you invite developers.
A housing society is ready for redevelopment when it has clear land title or conveyance, no major disputes, an ageing building and a plot that developers can viably rebuild. This free checker asks a few questions on conveyance, building age, road width and location, then shows which DCPR 2034 scheme likely applies. It suits Mumbai committees preparing before inviting developers.

Working in your favour
This is a guided self-check, not a legal opinion or a guarantee of approval. Eligibility, the applicable scheme and the exact FSI are always decided on your specific plot and papers. Use it to prepare, then confirm with your PMC and lawyer — or register your society for a free review.
What does this eligibility checker look at?
Most societies discover a problem — a missing conveyance, an old family dispute, an unauthorised terrace room — only when a developer's lawyer raises it, often after months of talks. This tool front-loads those questions so your committee can deal with them early. It weighs the factors that most often decide whether a redevelopment starts smoothly: legal ownership of the land, disputes on the title or between members, unauthorised construction, how much FSI is already consumed, the width of the access road, the age of the building, and the location. It then points you to the DCPR 2034 scheme your building is most likely to fall under.
Which factors matter most for redevelopment eligibility?
- Conveyance — the society should legally own its land before it redevelops.
- Land or title disputes — an unresolved dispute can stall everything, so it must be cleared.
- Member or tenant disputes — internal conflict is one of the biggest causes of stalled projects.
- Unauthorised structures — these often need regularising or removing before plans are sanctioned.
- FSI already consumed, road width and location — these shape how much extra a plot can actually generate.
Common questions
What makes a society ready for redevelopment?
A society is broadly ready when it legally owns its land through conveyance or deemed conveyance, has no serious title or member disputes, has clear records, and sits on a plot whose road width and location can support additional FSI. Age and condition of the building strengthen the case. Issues like a pending land dispute, missing conveyance, unauthorised structures or heavy FSI already consumed do not always stop redevelopment, but they must be understood and usually resolved first.
Does missing conveyance stop redevelopment?
Not permanently. Conveyance transfers legal ownership of the land and building to the society, and lenders and developers strongly prefer it to be in place. If the builder never gave conveyance, the society can apply for deemed conveyance under the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963. It is best to complete conveyance or deemed conveyance before finalising a redevelopment, so the society negotiates as the clear owner of its land.
Which redevelopment scheme applies to my building?
It depends on the building. Old cessed buildings in the Island City usually fall under DCPR 2034 Regulation 33(7) and its variants, often with MHADA. MHADA layout buildings use 33(5) or 33(9). Slum schemes use 33(14) through the SRA. An ordinary private co-operative society typically redevelops under the base FSI with 33(7)(B) and the 20(B) provision. Several adjacent buildings can be taken together as a cluster under 33(9). The exact scheme and FSI are always plot-specific.
How many members must agree to redevelop?
Under the Government of Maharashtra's directive of 4 July 2019 issued under Section 79A of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, the process starts with a requisition from at least one-fifth of members, needs a two-thirds quorum at the special general body meeting, and requires approval by at least 51 percent of the total members. This tool does not measure consent; it checks whether the society and the plot are otherwise ready.
