Since the construction of buildings is a state subject, it is up to the state governments to provide incentives and other mechanisms for effective enforcement of Bye Laws.
(c) & (d): Financial and Technical support for capacity building to States and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) is provided under Ministry’s schemes and programmes including Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Smart Cities, Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) and World Bank assisted Capacity Building Programme for Urban Development (CBUD). A national workshop on Model Building Bye Laws was organized in February, 2015.
