Till 1970 Demolition of slums by treating them as illegal squatters. Slums reappeared. Demolitions termed inhuman by citizenry.

1970-1980 : Slum improvement works taken up. Census of slums was carried out in 1976 and I-cards were issued.

1980-1990 : Land occupied by slums was given on lease to the slum dwellers. Soft loans were extended to slum dwellers to take up slum upgradation works. The scheme could be implemented only on non-reserved govt. lands.

1990 till date : A new concept was evolved. The underlying land of the slums was treated as a resource. Incentive FSI for constructing tenements for sale in open market was allowed. The profits generated from the sale of these tenements was to be used for cross-subsidising the free houses to the slum dwellers. (Special autonomous authority Slum Rehabilitation Authority was established.)
