Employees of Chandigarh administration turned down 11-storey housing proposal

 

CHANDIGARH: A proposal of Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has been rejected by the employees of UT administration to build 11-storey tower under the housing scheme 2008.     

 

As directed by the Central Government, under the scheme different proposals were being explored by the administration for the flats construction. Also, in recent times the administration recalculated the flat rates that are to be build for different categories as directed by the Centre. 


The proposal by the board to build 11-storey tower with increased FAR (Floor Area Ratio) and the allottee will only be charged for the flat’s built-up area instead of the total area of the project, which includes land for road and green belt.

Dr. Dharmender, General Secretary of UT Government Employees Housing Welfare Society stated that this proposal will delay the project. Along with this, UT plans to construct an 11-storey tower to adjust almost 4,000 allottees will create mess and number of problems will be faced by the employees. He further added that they had a meeting with CHB officials and stand against the 11-storey proposal. The proposal that was earlier presented with ground plus 5 storeys was favored by the employees and soon another meeting with CHB and UT officials will be held. 

The administration had decided to reconsider the high prices of the flats under the scheme after the opposition by employees last year. The delay by UT to hand over the flats led employees to move Punjab and Haryana high court. Last month, through videoconferencing a meeting was held as directed by the Punjab and Haryana High court. Under the chairmanship of Union home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla. To resolve the issue relating the rates of flats, it was decided after discussion that the rates will be calculated again for different categories by applying various factors like FAR, collector rate and plot area in consultation with the representatives of petitioners of the scheme.

Last year, a 3 BHK flat was priced at Rs. 1.76 Crore, 2 BHK for Rs 1.35 Crore, Rs.99 Lakhs for 1 BHK flat and Rs. 58.07 Lakhs for 1 BHK (EWS) by the CHB. Through a public notice, CHB asked all the successful applicants to provide their consent within 21 days for payment in five installments with applicable interest.

Earlier the prices estimated by CHB for 3 BHK was Rs. 2.08 Crore, 2 BHK for Rs.1.64 Crore, 1 BHK for Rs. 1 Crore and Rs.60 Lakh for 1 BHK (EWS) flat. As per the discussion it was decided to construct the flats for UT employees on “NO profit, No loss” basis and then the prices were recalculated.      

In 2008, when the scheme was announced, 3 BHK was priced at Rs. 34.70 Lakh, 2 BHK for Rs. 24.30 Lakh, 1 BHK for Rs 13.53 Lakh and Rs 5.76 Lakh for 1 BHK (EWS) flats. On January 2 last year, the cabinet meeting headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the proposal of UT employees' housing scheme pending since 2008.

With a total of 73.3 acres of land area that was allotted for the construction of 3,930 dwelling units for the employees. Out of which, 11.8 acre was already in the possession of the CHB.
