Mumbai: Leasehold housing societies can now convert to freehold for a fraction of the Ready Reckoner (RR) fee. The state has granted leasehold housing societies this concession, analogous to collector's land (class 2 occupation).

The Bombay High Court held that the state deserves a fair return on its land in a landmark decision. Justices B P Colabawalla and Somasekhar Sundaresan stressed that leasing rates need not be cheap if they fail to cover inflation, administration fees, and escalation.
