A Bill in this regard may be introduced in Parliament during the Winter Session, that commences on November 18, he said.
The announcement comes a few months ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections slated in early 2020.
The Delhi government run by Aam Aadmi Party in June this year had sent a proposal to the Centre to regularise 1,797 unauthorised colonies in the city with a charge of one per cent cost of land circle rate for up to 200 square metre plot from occupants and a nominal penalty.
