Chandigarh Is No Behind In The Path Of Affordable Housing

The word ‘affordable’ is what prevails currently over almost the entire country. The government’s aim for housing for all seems to be in full swing and developers are also supporting them in this mission.

Every state and city are doing their bit in order to provide affordable housing to all the people.

Haryana is also actively participating in the same. The government of Haryana, in order to achieve this goal, has recently notified the “Affordable Plotted Housing policy of 2016” under the Deen Dyal Jan Awas Yojna.  The policy will, therefore, facilitate the creation of affordable housing stock (additional) for the medium and low potential cities and towns in Haryana.

Under the Deen Dyal Jan Awas Yojna, there will be the development of plotted high-density colonies in the medium and low potential cities and towns wherein through a liberal framework small plots are to be made available. All of these projects need to be completed within the span of seven years starting from the date they attain their grant license.

In the policy, only 30 percent of the planned area under the residential zone (also includes 20 percent are for the housing projects) can be permitted for the projects.

The maximum and minimum limit for the net area for these projects will be five acres and fifteen acres respectively. The maximum area permitted under the plot is 150 square metres. Also, 10 percent of the area of licensed colony would be transferred by the coloniser to the government for the community facilities. The 50 percent of the allotted residential plotted which covers the saleable area will be undertaken by the coloniser in the first phase, though the coloniser will continue the development work side by side on the frozen areas as well.  For more go on IRX Blog.
