This reduction in the CLU rates will help people who wanted to convert their residential buildings into commercial and will also boost traders.

The Municipal Corporation of Bathinda is also expecting to get good revenue from CLU as earlier people were not paying it due to high rates.

CLU is implanted in scheme area and non-scheme area by the government. In scheme area, the government had fixed one rate and corporation takes Rs 2,143 per yard CLU, whereas in non-scheme area, there are different rates as per categories.

As per the new rates notified for residential plots on the national highway, it is Rs 1.88 lakh per acre, on the state highway the rate is Rs 1.50 lakh per acre and Rs 1.33 lakh on other roads.
