Chandigarh has always been regarded as one of the best cities to live in India. And why shouldn’t it? It’s clean, systematic, and has the best people around. But what if we tell you there is something else as well?
Yes, the Housing Scheme of Chandigarh launched in 2021 will make buying flats and plots a lot cheaper and easier than before. Through this blog, we shall dive deep into the scheme and essential details. Read on!
Chandigarh Housing Board Scheme
The Chandigarh Housing Board launched a scheme in Rajiv Gandhi IT Park in Chandigarh, implemented since April 2021. There are about 800 flats distributed through this scheme, including 2 BHK, 3 BHK, and 4 BHK flats.
The purchase of flats will be largely based on your income and buying power. Most of these flats will be on the city’s outskirts since the core of the city is already highly populated.
The best part is that these quality homes will be provided to the citizens at very cost-effective prices.
All interested individuals will have to provide an application to the Chandigarh Housing Board directly and apply online.
The Haryana Housing Board Act, 1971 applies to the Chandigarh Housing Board Scheme as well. The Chandigarh Housing Board has developed more than 60,000 houses in and around the city and has various categories to its functioning.
Moreover, the Housing Board mentions that about 25% of city dwellers reside in the housing options given by the Government of Chandigarh under this scheme.
Prices of Flats
According to the Chandigarh Housing Board, flats will be available at very affordable prices for the general public. People from the weaker sections will be allowed to purchase these flats at even lower prices.
The cost of 1 BHK is around INR 90 lakhs, which is a little costly. Although, if you come from the weaker sections of the society, you can avail this flat for INR 50 lakhs.
Next, in the case of 2 BHK, you can expect a cost of INR 1.36 crores, while buying a 3 BHK would cost around INR 1.63 crores.
