The civic agency said that the use of premise is regulated by the provisions of Master Plan-2021. Likewise, Health Trade Licences can be issued only in the premises where the activity is permissible as per Master Plan-2021.

The MCD is taking action against such illegal acts.
In this context, public in general is hereby informed that whenever they are starting any new commercial activity in any area under the jurisdiction of MCD, they should verify the permissibility of the proposed activity from the website of the corporation or from the MCD office before depositing any conversion, parking and registration charges or Health Trade Licences charges, the MCD said in a statement.

Recently, MCD has taken action against the commercial activities and the conversion charges paid by them have been forfeited and Health Trade Licences have also been cancelled,” it further added.
