    Summary The Bombay High Court ruled that eligible slum dwellers are entitled to transit rent (hardship allowance) from the date of structure demolition, not from the date of eligibility determination. The developer must pay any arrears within 4 months and cannot deduct TDS (Tax Deduction at Source) from transit rent payments, as such allowance is not taxable income; any TDS already deducted must be refunded to petitioners within 4 months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
