v) Out of quantum of TDR mentioned in Column No.5 or 8 minimum 30% and subject to maximum 50% of TDR shall be utilised out of the TDR generated from Slum Rehabilitation Scheme (Slum TDR) / Urban Renewal TDR / (2) TDR generated from the area of notified URP as per Regulation No.14.8.8(iv)(c)(i) / Amenity construction TDR (till generation of URT). If such TDR is not available then other TDR may be used.

vi) The restrictions of road width mentioned above shall not be applicable in cases where, the permissible FSI is more than the basic FSI in various schemes such as slum rehabilitation scheme, redevelopment of dangerous buildings, cluster development for congested (core) area, redevelopment of MHADA buildings, TOD etc. in such scheme, regulations of respective scheme shall be applicable. (3) However, for special buildings as mentioned in Regulation No.1.3(93)(xiv), provisions mentioned in Regulation No.3.3.9 shall be applicable.

xiv) (#) Entire area of plot may be considered for calculating the potential of plot in respect of premium FSI + TDR, but not the basic FSI. Basic FSI shall be calculated on area of the plot remaining with the owner after deducting area under D.P. road / (1) road widening / reservations and amenity space. This shall be applicable in cases where reservation area or amenity space is handed over to the authority.

xv) If (2) any road of width less than 9.0 m. is proposed to be widened to 9.0 m. by the Authority under the provisions of the Municipal Corporation or Municipal Council Act, by prescribing line of street (2) considering 4.5 m. from centre line of the existing road and owner of the plot hands over such affected strip along such road to the authority, then he may be entitled for FSI and potential applicable to 9.0 m. road. (2) This shall be applicable to roads in congested area also.
