  1. Commercial and Industrial Property should allowed to be converted from leasehold to freehold upon reasonable charges. All new auctions of commercial property should be on freehold basis which has hitherto remained unsold in spite of best of efforts by Estate Office, Chandigarh Housing Board, Municipal Corporation, simply because it is not commercial viable for the new investors.

  3. Permission of General trade should be permitted on the upper floors of all Commercial buildings without any conversion charges.
  4. Construction of First Floor on single storey Booths and Bay Shops should be permitted for storage purpose to support small businesses.
  5. Penalty for Violation/Misuse should be rolled back to original Rs.10/-per Sq. Ft. per month from hefty manifold increase done in the year 2007 that also retrospectively without the consent of the competent authorities i.e. Parliament of India.
  6. Transfer of allotted leasehold property should be done without charging one third of unearned profit.
  7. Conversion charges from SCF to SCO which have been increased from Rs.5 Lac to Rs.60 Lac on V-4 road sector Markets should be rationalized
  8. Box type construction of SCO and SCF in first phase sectors should be permitted on the pattern of second and third phase sectors.
