To provide affordable housing at predetermined rates within a specified time frame,the Haryana government on Tuesday announced ‘Affordable Housing Policy-2013’ to make available mass dwelling units in urban areas.
The houses,to be constructed by private builders to whom the state will grant licenses,will have to be handed over to beneficiaries within four years. Under the policy,the government aims at providing 1.25 lakh flats having a carpet area of about 500 sq ft each (built-up area of about 600 sq ft) in urban centres. The decision was approved by the Haryana cabinet on Tuesday.
While speaking to mediapersons,Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said: “The size of the apartments will be between 28 sq m to 60 sq m carpet area. The maximum allotment rate for units will be Rs 4,000 per sq ft in Gurgaon,Faridabad,Panchkula and Pinjore-Kalka; Rs 3,600 per sq ft in other high and medium potential towns and Rs 3,000 per sq ft in the remaining low potential towns.”
In case a developer fails to meet the four-year deadline,his bank guarantee will be forfeited and his license terminated. “The project is required to be completed within four years from the date of approval of building plans or grant of environment clearance,whichever is later,beyond which renewal of licence will not be allowed,” Hooda added.
The allotment of units will be undertaken under close scrutiny of a committee chaired by the concerned deputy commissioner.
