As per Development Control Regulations 33(9) a developer gets FSI of 1.33 for redevelopment of structures after the year 1969. The accused, as per Jain’s complaint, with the help of forged maps, showed 46 Non Cess galas were there since before 1969 and succeeded in procuring permissions for 4 FSI constructions from MHADA and BMC.
 
 
Jain in the FIR alleged that with 4 FSI the developer fraudulently managed to get permission for development of 9,68,898.64 sq ft from MHADA, but as rules applicable for structures after year 1969, the developer should have been given permission for development of only 3,22,153.90 sq ft with FSI of 1.33. This caused the government a loss of nearly Rs 2000 crore.
