What Is the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA)?

 

The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) was constituted by the Government of Maharashtra to:

  • Rehabilitate eligible slum dwellers

  • Free valuable urban land for planned development

  • Encourage private-sector participation through incentives

Under the SRA scheme:

  • Slum dwellers receive free permanent housing

  • Developers receive sale component FSI as compensation

  • The city benefits from organized urban redevelopment

However, SRA projects are governed by:

  • DCPR 2034

  • GRs issued by the Housing Department

  • Circulars and policy updates from SRA & MCGM

This makes professional SRA consultancy not optional—but essential.
