CHANDIGARH, JULY 13
The Haryana
Government has framed a comprehensive policy for allotment of plots or flats
earmarked for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in the licensed colonies in
the State.
While stating this here today, a spokesman of Haryana Town and Country Planning
Department said that the licensee would reserve 20 per cent of the total number
of residential plots in residential plotted colony for allotment to EWS or
lower income group category. He said that
EWS plot size shall
vary from 50 sq. meters to 125 sq. meters or as
otherwise approved
specifically in the layout plan approved by the Director.
He said that the licensee would transfer all the EWS category plots to Housing
Board Haryana at the rate fixed by the Government from time to time, which
at present is Rs. 600 per Sq. meter within six months after approval of
zoning plan. Also, the licensee would complete the development works of atleast
road, water supply and electricity in the area earmarked for EWS plots
within one year from approval of zoning plan and environmental clearance
whichever is later, so that Housing Board Haryana might construct units
on the transferred plots and allot to the BPL families at a reasonable
cost approved by the Government by following provisions of layout plan or
zoning plan and within initial validity period of license itself, he
added.
He said that in case of earlier granted licenses, licensee would transfer the
EWS plots to Housing Board before getting the license renewed. The Board
would allot the EWS units to the BPL families after carrying out
construction as per specifications. Apart from this, the Board might also
earmark these units for Rental Housing Scheme for BPL families, he further
added. He said that the allottees of such plots would not be allowed to further
transfer the plots to any other person within a period of five years after
getting the possession. However, the Housing Board shall impose this condition
in the allotment letter. The breach of this condition would attract penalty
equivalent to 100 per cent of selling price of the allotted unit to be
paid by the purchaser.
The spokesman said that execution of irrevocable power of attorney in favour of
any person other than blood relation alongwith irrevocable will and for
consideration passed on to the executor of irrevocable power opf attorney or to
anybody on his behalf, would be construed as sale of property for this purpose.
He said that this penalty is meant for misuse of such plot and allotment
of plot would also be liable for cancellation.
He said that in cases where EWS plots have already been advertised, the
licensee would conduct draw of lots within three months from issuance of this
policy. The licensee would reserve 15 per cent of total number of
residential flats in Group Housing colony for allotment to economically
weaker sections or lower income group category. He said that the minimum
size of EWS flat would be 200 sq. ft and the maximum price for allotment of EWS
flats in group housing colonies would be as fixed by the Government from time
to time which presently is Rs. 1.50 lakh per flat that is Rs 750 per sq. ft.
The spokesman further said that complete scheme would be floated within four
months from issuance of part occupation certificate of EWS flats. An
advertisement would be given in three newspapers, one leading English National
Daily and two in Hindi language having circulation of more than 10,000 copies
in the State. He said that the advertisement would highlight the number and
size of flats, payment schedule and other essential requirements, terms and
conditions.
While giving details about the eligibility criteria for allotment of EWS flats,
he said that the applicant should have domicile of Haryana and should have
completed 18 years of age at the time of registration of application.
Any person registered as BPL family which includes his or her spouse or
his or her dependent children who do not own any flat or plot in any HUDA
sector or licenced colony in any of the Urban Areas in the State could
apply for allotment of flat. Only one application would be made by one BPL
family, he added. He said that the applicant or his or her spouse or his or her
dependent children who were earlier allotted plot or house by the Housing
Board, HUDA, or any colonizer are not entitled to make application, even if
they have transferred the same to some other person. The first preference
would be given to the BPL families listed in the same town and followed by
those listed in the district and then in the State, he added.
The spokesman said that the licensee after scrutinizing the applications would
submit list of eligible candidates to concerned Senior Town Planners, within
eight weeks from closing date of submission of applications. He said that
the concerned Senior Town Planner would scrutinize applications vis-à-vis
approved building plans, within a maximum period of eight weeks and shall take
action as the case might be. He said that if some applications were incomplete
in terms of minor deficiencies like
Signatures, BPL
proof, the colonizer would give chance to them by writing a letter and
giving advertisement in same leading newspapers in special circumstances. However, these
applicants might be included in the draw of lots and if such applicants
become successful in draw, 15 days time period might be granted to them to
remove the said shortcomings, failing which their claim would stand
forfeited.
He said that the
draw of lots would be conducted by a committee consisting of Deputy
Commissioner or his representative, at least of the cadre of Haryana
Civil Services, Senior Town Planner of the Circle or concerned District
Town Planner. He said that the date of draw would be fixed by concerned Senior
Town Planner within four weeks after scrutiny of applications. The
colonizer would advertise the same in same newspapers as mentioned above. He
said that the list of successful allottees alongwith waiting list of 25 per
cent of total number of flats would also be published in newspaper as
specified.
The spokesman
maintained that in case, the successful applicants did not remove the
deficiencies in their applications within the prescribed period of 15 days or
do not respond to the terms and conditions of allotment, the plots could
be offered to the applicants under waiting list as per the seniority in the
waiting list. However, the entire process of allotment after this period of
15 days would be completed within three months, he added.
He said that for unsuccessful candidates, refund of registration or earnest
money without interest or compensation would be made within two months from
date of draw. Further, the earnest money of the applicants in the waiting list
might be retained by the colonizer till the process of allotment of successful
applicants is completed. He said that thereafter the earnest money would be
refunded within one month period. However in case any applicant in waiting list
requests for refund of earnest money even during the process of
allotment, the licensee would refund the same within a period of one month from
receipt of the request without making any deductions, he added. He said in case
a candidate surrenders the flat, entire amount would be refunded
without any deduction.
He said that if the candidate fails to deposit the installments, he might be
given 15 days time period from date of Show Cause Notice and further 15 days
from the issuance of publication of such list in one leading Hindi
newspaper, failing which allotment shall stand cancelled. He
said that for avoiding duplication, the colonizer would put a rubber stamp of
his Company on the BPL card of the allottee till the time UID cards were
not made compulsory and thereafter the entry of the number of UID card of
BPL candidates would be compulsory in the application Form. The BPL
verification would be carried out in case of successful allottees only, he
further added.
He said that the licensee would refund the earnest money to unsuccessful
candidates alongwith normal interest of saving bank account in State Bank of
India as applicable from time to time. However, no interest would be paid for a
period of six months from the date of submission of application alongwith
earnest money. He said that the licensee might adjust the interest amount for
the delayed period towards amount to be paid against balance installments
in case of successful allottees.
He said that the allottees of such flats would not be allowed to
further transfer the flats to any other person within a period of five
years after getting the possession. The breach of this condition would
attract penalty equivalent to 100 per cent of selling price of the
allotted unit to be paid by the purchaser. Execution of irrevocable power
of attorney in favour of any person other than blood relation alongwith
irrevocable would and for consideration passed on to the executor of
irrevocable power of attorney or to anybody on his behalf, would be construed
as sale of property for this purpose. He said that this penalty is meant
for misuse of such plot and allotment of plot would also be liable for
cancellation.
He said that the allotment of these plots or flats could also be
made with the approval of the Government to specific category of people in
public interest on the recommendations of the committee headed by the
Divisional Commissioner consisting of Deputy Commissioner, Administrator HUDA,
State Town Planner and District Town Planner. He said that
this category might include slum-dwellers, occupiers of precious
Government land or persons who were living in constructed houses on the
acquired land and were eligible for rehabilitation as per Government decision
or court orders or the persons who have to be allotted oustees quota plots
but the same were not readily available with HUDA or Government.
