Civic body imposes fine on the Master Blaster for occupying dream home in Bandra without the necessary Occupation Certificate
Hours after Sachin Tendulkar moved into his dream home in Bandra, the BMC imposed a Rs 4.75lakh penalty on him for moving in without acquiring an Occupancy Certificate (OC).
The legendary batsman received the rude shock as he moved into his five-storeyed home at Perry Cross Road in Bandra (West). Confirming the same, Chief Engineer (Development Plan) R Kukanur, said, "He will be penalised Rs 4.75 lakh for inhabiting a house before getting the OC. It was due in procedure and he would have got the OC in the next four days."

As per the law, one cannot enter a flat or building without receiving an OC for it. A senior official from the building proposals department said action could be initiated against Sachin by slapping a notice under Section 350 (A) of the BMC Act for occupying premises without an OC.
The official further added, "A person who illegally occupies a house without an OC can be prosecuted, but it rarely happens as the person would receive the OC in a few days time. Other than the OC bit, there are no violations in the building and Sachin should have waited for four days before performing the grihapravesh puja on Wednesday."
Sachin's secretary remained mum on the issue.
Meanwhile, other sources have revealed that the batsman has purchased over 40 exquisite paintings and showpieces from an art store.
'Waive penalty'
Meanwhile, the state government asked BMC Commissioner Subodh Kumar to waive the penalty.
Textiles minister Mohammed Arif Naseem Khan, who is the guardian minister for Mumbai suburbs, said he had spoken to Kumar.
"Sachin is an icon who has brought international laurels to the country. Subodh Kumar told me that he would examine the issue and act accordingly," Khan told reporters yesterday. The minister said Sachin had complied with formalities for getting the OC.
"Normally, one moves into a house after getting the OC. Here, he has submitted documents for the OC, but shifted into the new house without getting the certificate, which according to corporation officials attracts a penalty. He should be exempted from penalty as a special case," the minister added.
However, when MiD DAY approached Deputy Municipal Commissioner Sudhir Naik, PA to the municipal commissioner, he said, "We have not received any intimation from the state government." Subodh Kumar too, remained unavailable for comment on the issue.
Money matter
Sachin had purchased the 8,998 sq ft Dorab Villa in Bandra for Rs 39 crore in 2007 from the Satra Group. Reportedly, he is pumping in about the same amount to redecorate his home.
Did you know?
Sachin's newly acquired home was built in 1920 by a Parsi family, the Wardens.

Sachin might play final
All is well with Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar it seems. Tendulkar split a webbing on his right hand while attempting to take a low catch in the semi-final against Bangalore Royal Challengers on Thursday and later received five stitches.
There were reports that the Little Master would be missing Sunday's IPL final against Chennai Super Kings.
Sources though say that Tendulkar visited Lilavati Hospital yesterday evening for an x-ray on his left hand and the doctor who attended to him noticed that the injury to his right hand was not serious enough to keep him from playing the final.
Lilavati spokesman Mohan Rajan refused to comment.

Sachin becomes first batsman to score 200 in an ODI
Milestone man Sachin Tendulkar re-wrote the record books on Wednesday, hammering the first double century in the history of one-day cricket to add another feather to his well-adorned cap.
Scorecard | In Pics: Sachin’s double ton
The capacity crowd at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium witnessed history on Wednesday as Tendulkar, statistically the greatest batsman the game has ever seen, pushed a Charl Langeveldt delivery through the off-side and ran a single to achieve a feat which no other cricketer has achieved.
One-day international cricket, since its 1971 inception, had to wait nearly four decades to see a batsman score 200. The previous best mark was shared by Zimbabwean Charles Coventry (194 not out against Bangladesh in 2009) and Pakistan's Saeed Anwar (194 against India in 1997).
As the crowd erupted with unbridled joy, Tendulkar, tired but composed, took off his helmet, looked skyward, closed his eyes to offer a silent prayer.
His captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni came down from the striker's end to shake hands and hug him.
And as Tendulkar set on his way back to the pavilion after the completion of the Indian innings, a tumultuous celebration greeted him.
The crowd gave him a standing ovation as the entire stadium erupted in euphoria while his teammates were simply ecstatic as they clapped and hugged each other, basking in the glory of their senior teammates.
Tendulkar batted like a man with a mission on Wednesday and the South African bowlers simply had no clue where to bowl.
Once he crossed the 150-mark, the crowd anticipated something special and Tendulkar did not let them down.
A six off Roelof van der Merwe took him past Kapil Dev's 175 not out and in the next over, he hit Jacques Kallis for a four to equal his previous best of 186 not out that had come against New Zealand in Hyderabad in 1999.
The crowd got restless as Tendulkar approached the 194-run mark and a couple off Wayne Parnell saw him eclipse it.
His teammates and spectators were on the edge of their seat with a double century round the corner but with Dhoni going berserk at the striker's end and facing most of the deliveries, it was an agonising wait for all.
Dhoni took singles off the final deliveries of the 47th-49th overs and Tendulkar finally took strike with four balls left in the innings.
The first ball he received from Langeveldt was steered past point and Tendulkar ran for a single to remain unbeaten after an unforgettable unbeaten 200 that came off just 147 balls with 25 fours and three sixes in it.
It was yet another milestone for the man, who has some 30,000 international runs under his belt, including 93 centuries (47 in Tests and 46 in ODIs).
