&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;At a time when the property prices have skyrocketed in the urban areas, affordable housing may well be within the reach of the &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039; in Haryana. In fact, with a view to attract the private builders to go in for affordable housing, the Hooda Government is set to launch its ambitious &amp;quot;Affordable Housing Policy-2013&amp;quot; to provide housing to the lower strata of society with an eye on the forthcoming parliamentary and the state Assembly elections next year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Under the policy, which is aimed at making real impact in making housing affordable in the urban centres of Haryana, the builders have been assured sops, including waiver of applicable fee such as licence fee, conversion charges and the internal development charges (IDC). Similarly, in order to minimise the impact of the external development charges (EDC) on the viability of such projects, the rates of the EDC applicable on plotted colonies shall be levied on such projects. &amp;quot;However scrutiny fees will continue to be levied to discourage non-serious applicant,&amp;quot; the draft policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The main focus of the new policy, which will replace the 2009 policy announced by the state government, would focus on the development of affordable mass housing projects for general public by relaxing the norms pertaining to density, floor area ratio (FAR) and siting norms.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Moreover, any project for which licence is granted under the present policy cannot be converted back to a normal group housing colony. &amp;quot;All such projects shall be required to be necessarily completed within four years from the approval of building plans or grant of environmental clearance so that the housing can be provided to the intended beneficiaries within fixed time frame,&amp;quot; the policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Affordability will be major criteria for the launching of the residential projects under the policy. While the allotment rates for major cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula Extension (Pinjore-Kalka urban complex) will be Rs 4,000 per square feet (Rs 43,000 per square metre), the allotment rates have been pegged at Rs 3,600 per square feet (Rs 38,750 per square feet) in other cities.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These projects will be allowed on a maximum area of 300 acres in the development plans of Gurgaon, Faridabad and Panchkula while in Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Dharuhera, Bahadurgarh and Sohna, the maximum area earmarked for these projects will be 150 acres. In the rest of the development plans 75 acres each have earmarked for the housing projects. A minimum of 5 acres and a maximum of 15 acres will be the area required for development affordable housing projects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In fact, the Town and Country Planning Department has relaxed certain planning parameters for these residential complexes as compared to the group housing colonies to ensure the viability of such projects. While the maximum permitted population density 900 persons per acres, the maximum FAR allowed is 225.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The maximum ground coverage will be 50 per cent while the maximum area under commercial use will be 4 per cent of the net planned area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The carpet area of the apartments will vary from 28 square metre to 60 square metre.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Focus on housing for &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
    Ahead of the 2014 elections, the Hooda govt is set to unveil an affordable housing policy&lt;br /&gt;
    Builders assured sops to make housing affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Planning norms relaxed to make housing viable, affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Four years maximum time frame to complete the projects&lt;br /&gt;
    Apartments ranging from 28 sqm to 60 sqm planned for the lower strata

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;At a time when the property prices have skyrocketed in the urban areas, affordable housing may well be within the reach of the &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039; in Haryana. In fact, with a view to attract the private builders to go in for affordable housing, the Hooda Government is set to launch its ambitious &amp;quot;Affordable Housing Policy-2013&amp;quot; to provide housing to the lower strata of society with an eye on the forthcoming parliamentary and the state Assembly elections next year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Under the policy, which is aimed at making real impact in making housing affordable in the urban centres of Haryana, the builders have been assured sops, including waiver of applicable fee such as licence fee, conversion charges and the internal development charges (IDC). Similarly, in order to minimise the impact of the external development charges (EDC) on the viability of such projects, the rates of the EDC applicable on plotted colonies shall be levied on such projects. &amp;quot;However scrutiny fees will continue to be levied to discourage non-serious applicant,&amp;quot; the draft policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The main focus of the new policy, which will replace the 2009 policy announced by the state government, would focus on the development of affordable mass housing projects for general public by relaxing the norms pertaining to density, floor area ratio (FAR) and siting norms.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Moreover, any project for which licence is granted under the present policy cannot be converted back to a normal group housing colony. &amp;quot;All such projects shall be required to be necessarily completed within four years from the approval of building plans or grant of environmental clearance so that the housing can be provided to the intended beneficiaries within fixed time frame,&amp;quot; the policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Affordability will be major criteria for the launching of the residential projects under the policy. While the allotment rates for major cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula Extension (Pinjore-Kalka urban complex) will be Rs 4,000 per square feet (Rs 43,000 per square metre), the allotment rates have been pegged at Rs 3,600 per square feet (Rs 38,750 per square feet) in other cities.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These projects will be allowed on a maximum area of 300 acres in the development plans of Gurgaon, Faridabad and Panchkula while in Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Dharuhera, Bahadurgarh and Sohna, the maximum area earmarked for these projects will be 150 acres. In the rest of the development plans 75 acres each have earmarked for the housing projects. A minimum of 5 acres and a maximum of 15 acres will be the area required for development affordable housing projects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In fact, the Town and Country Planning Department has relaxed certain planning parameters for these residential complexes as compared to the group housing colonies to ensure the viability of such projects. While the maximum permitted population density 900 persons per acres, the maximum FAR allowed is 225.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The maximum ground coverage will be 50 per cent while the maximum area under commercial use will be 4 per cent of the net planned area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The carpet area of the apartments will vary from 28 square metre to 60 square metre.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Focus on housing for &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
    Ahead of the 2014 elections, the Hooda govt is set to unveil an affordable housing policy&lt;br /&gt;
    Builders assured sops to make housing affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Planning norms relaxed to make housing viable, affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Four years maximum time frame to complete the projects&lt;br /&gt;
    Apartments ranging from 28 sqm to 60 sqm planned for the lower strata

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;At a time when the property prices have skyrocketed in the urban areas, affordable housing may well be within the reach of the &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039; in Haryana. In fact, with a view to attract the private builders to go in for affordable housing, the Hooda Government is set to launch its ambitious &amp;quot;Affordable Housing Policy-2013&amp;quot; to provide housing to the lower strata of society with an eye on the forthcoming parliamentary and the state Assembly elections next year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Under the policy, which is aimed at making real impact in making housing affordable in the urban centres of Haryana, the builders have been assured sops, including waiver of applicable fee such as licence fee, conversion charges and the internal development charges (IDC). Similarly, in order to minimise the impact of the external development charges (EDC) on the viability of such projects, the rates of the EDC applicable on plotted colonies shall be levied on such projects. &amp;quot;However scrutiny fees will continue to be levied to discourage non-serious applicant,&amp;quot; the draft policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The main focus of the new policy, which will replace the 2009 policy announced by the state government, would focus on the development of affordable mass housing projects for general public by relaxing the norms pertaining to density, floor area ratio (FAR) and siting norms.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Moreover, any project for which licence is granted under the present policy cannot be converted back to a normal group housing colony. &amp;quot;All such projects shall be required to be necessarily completed within four years from the approval of building plans or grant of environmental clearance so that the housing can be provided to the intended beneficiaries within fixed time frame,&amp;quot; the policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Affordability will be major criteria for the launching of the residential projects under the policy. While the allotment rates for major cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula Extension (Pinjore-Kalka urban complex) will be Rs 4,000 per square feet (Rs 43,000 per square metre), the allotment rates have been pegged at Rs 3,600 per square feet (Rs 38,750 per square feet) in other cities.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These projects will be allowed on a maximum area of 300 acres in the development plans of Gurgaon, Faridabad and Panchkula while in Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Dharuhera, Bahadurgarh and Sohna, the maximum area earmarked for these projects will be 150 acres. In the rest of the development plans 75 acres each have earmarked for the housing projects. A minimum of 5 acres and a maximum of 15 acres will be the area required for development affordable housing projects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In fact, the Town and Country Planning Department has relaxed certain planning parameters for these residential complexes as compared to the group housing colonies to ensure the viability of such projects. While the maximum permitted population density 900 persons per acres, the maximum FAR allowed is 225.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The maximum ground coverage will be 50 per cent while the maximum area under commercial use will be 4 per cent of the net planned area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The carpet area of the apartments will vary from 28 square metre to 60 square metre.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Focus on housing for &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
    Ahead of the 2014 elections, the Hooda govt is set to unveil an affordable housing policy&lt;br /&gt;
    Builders assured sops to make housing affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Planning norms relaxed to make housing viable, affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Four years maximum time frame to complete the projects&lt;br /&gt;
    Apartments ranging from 28 sqm to 60 sqm planned for the lower strata

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;At a time when the property prices have skyrocketed in the urban areas, affordable housing may well be within the reach of the &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039; in Haryana. In fact, with a view to attract the private builders to go in for affordable housing, the Hooda Government is set to launch its ambitious &amp;quot;Affordable Housing Policy-2013&amp;quot; to provide housing to the lower strata of society with an eye on the forthcoming parliamentary and the state Assembly elections next year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Under the policy, which is aimed at making real impact in making housing affordable in the urban centres of Haryana, the builders have been assured sops, including waiver of applicable fee such as licence fee, conversion charges and the internal development charges (IDC). Similarly, in order to minimise the impact of the external development charges (EDC) on the viability of such projects, the rates of the EDC applicable on plotted colonies shall be levied on such projects. &amp;quot;However scrutiny fees will continue to be levied to discourage non-serious applicant,&amp;quot; the draft policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The main focus of the new policy, which will replace the 2009 policy announced by the state government, would focus on the development of affordable mass housing projects for general public by relaxing the norms pertaining to density, floor area ratio (FAR) and siting norms.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Moreover, any project for which licence is granted under the present policy cannot be converted back to a normal group housing colony. &amp;quot;All such projects shall be required to be necessarily completed within four years from the approval of building plans or grant of environmental clearance so that the housing can be provided to the intended beneficiaries within fixed time frame,&amp;quot; the policy said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Affordability will be major criteria for the launching of the residential projects under the policy. While the allotment rates for major cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula Extension (Pinjore-Kalka urban complex) will be Rs 4,000 per square feet (Rs 43,000 per square metre), the allotment rates have been pegged at Rs 3,600 per square feet (Rs 38,750 per square feet) in other cities.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
These projects will be allowed on a maximum area of 300 acres in the development plans of Gurgaon, Faridabad and Panchkula while in Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Dharuhera, Bahadurgarh and Sohna, the maximum area earmarked for these projects will be 150 acres. In the rest of the development plans 75 acres each have earmarked for the housing projects. A minimum of 5 acres and a maximum of 15 acres will be the area required for development affordable housing projects.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
In fact, the Town and Country Planning Department has relaxed certain planning parameters for these residential complexes as compared to the group housing colonies to ensure the viability of such projects. While the maximum permitted population density 900 persons per acres, the maximum FAR allowed is 225.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The maximum ground coverage will be 50 per cent while the maximum area under commercial use will be 4 per cent of the net planned area.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The carpet area of the apartments will vary from 28 square metre to 60 square metre.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Focus on housing for &amp;lsquo;aam aadmi&#039;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
    Ahead of the 2014 elections, the Hooda govt is set to unveil an affordable housing policy&lt;br /&gt;
    Builders assured sops to make housing affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Planning norms relaxed to make housing viable, affordable&lt;br /&gt;
    Four years maximum time frame to complete the projects&lt;br /&gt;
    Apartments ranging from 28 sqm to 60 sqm planned for the lower strata

<em>Chandigarh: </em>At a time when the property prices have skyrocketed in the urban areas, affordable housing may well be within the reach of the &lsquo;aam aadmi' in Haryana. In fact, with a view to attract the private builders to go in for affordable housing, the Hooda Government is set to launch its ambitious &quot;Affordable Housing Policy-2013&quot; to provide housing to the lower strata of society with an eye on the forthcoming parliamentary and the state Assembly elections next year.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Under the policy, which is aimed at making real impact in making housing affordable in the urban centres of Haryana, the builders have been assured sops, including waiver of applicable fee such as licence fee, conversion charges and the internal development charges (IDC). Similarly, in order to minimise the impact of the external development charges (EDC) on the viability of such projects, the rates of the EDC applicable on plotted colonies shall be levied on such projects. &quot;However scrutiny fees will continue to be levied to discourage non-serious applicant,&quot; the draft policy said.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The main focus of the new policy, which will replace the 2009 policy announced by the state government, would focus on the development of affordable mass housing projects for general public by relaxing the norms pertaining to density, floor area ratio (FAR) and siting norms.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Moreover, any project for which licence is granted under the present policy cannot be converted back to a normal group housing colony. &quot;All such projects shall be required to be necessarily completed within four years from the approval of building plans or grant of environmental clearance so that the housing can be provided to the intended beneficiaries within fixed time frame,&quot; the policy said.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Affordability will be major criteria for the launching of the residential projects under the policy. While the allotment rates for major cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula Extension (Pinjore-Kalka urban complex) will be Rs 4,000 per square feet (Rs 43,000 per square metre), the allotment rates have been pegged at Rs 3,600 per square feet (Rs 38,750 per square feet) in other cities.
</p>
<p align="justify">
These projects will be allowed on a maximum area of 300 acres in the development plans of Gurgaon, Faridabad and Panchkula while in Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Dharuhera, Bahadurgarh and Sohna, the maximum area earmarked for these projects will be 150 acres. In the rest of the development plans 75 acres each have earmarked for the housing projects. A minimum of 5 acres and a maximum of 15 acres will be the area required for development affordable housing projects.
</p>
<p align="justify">
In fact, the Town and Country Planning Department has relaxed certain planning parameters for these residential complexes as compared to the group housing colonies to ensure the viability of such projects. While the maximum permitted population density 900 persons per acres, the maximum FAR allowed is 225.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The maximum ground coverage will be 50 per cent while the maximum area under commercial use will be 4 per cent of the net planned area.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The carpet area of the apartments will vary from 28 square metre to 60 square metre.

Govt to unveil housing policy for urban poor

-The Tribune Chandigarh: At a time when the property prices have skyrocketed in the urban areas, affordable housing may well be within the reach of the ‘aam aadmi' in Haryana. In fact, with a view to attract the private builders to go in for affordable housing, the Hooda Government is set to launch its ambitious "Affordable Housing Policy-2013" to provide housing to the lower strata of society with an eye on the forthcoming parliamentary and the state Assembly elections next year. Under the policy, which is aimed at making real impact in making housing affordable in the urban centres of Haryana, the builders have been assured sops, including waiver of applicable fee such as licence fee, conversion charges and the internal development charges (IDC). Similarly, in order to minimise the impact of the external development charges (EDC) on the viability of such projects, the rates of the EDC applicable on plotted colonies shall be levied on such projects. "However scrutiny fees will continue to be levied to discourage non-serious applicant," the draft policy said. The main focus of the new policy, which will replace the 2009 policy announced by the state government, would focus on the development of affordable mass housing projects for general public by relaxing the norms pertaining to density, floor area ratio (FAR) and siting norms. Moreover, any project for which licence is granted under the present policy cannot be converted back to a normal group housing colony. "All such projects shall be required to be necessarily completed within four years from the approval of building plans or grant of environmental clearance so that the housing can be provided to the intended beneficiaries within fixed time frame," the policy said. Affordability will be major criteria for the launching of the residential projects under the policy. While the allotment rates for major cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panchkula Extension (Pinjore-Kalka urban complex) will be Rs 4,000 per square feet (Rs 43,000 per square metre), the allotment rates have been pegged at Rs 3,600 per square feet (Rs 38,750 per square feet) in other cities. These projects will be allowed on a maximum area of 300 acres in the development plans of Gurgaon, Faridabad and Panchkula while in Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Dharuhera, Bahadurgarh and Sohna, the maximum area earmarked for these projects will be 150 acres. In the rest of the development plans 75 acres each have earmarked for the housing projects. A minimum of 5 acres and a maximum of 15 acres will be the area required for development affordable housing projects. In fact, the Town and Country Planning Department has relaxed certain planning parameters for these residential complexes as compared to the group housing colonies to ensure the viability of such projects. While the maximum permitted population density 900 persons per acres, the maximum FAR allowed is 225. The maximum ground coverage will be 50 per cent while the maximum area under commercial use will be 4 per cent of the net planned area. The carpet area of the apartments will vary from 28 square metre to 60 square metre. Focus on housing for ‘aam aadmi' Ahead of the 2014 elections, the Hooda govt is set to unveil an affordable housing policy Builders assured sops to make housing affordable Planning norms relaxed to make housing viable, affordable Four years maximum time frame to complete the projects Apartments ranging from 28 sqm to 60 sqm planned for the lower strata
