Deposit Rs 50k and get Housing Board site : U T Khader
Karnataka Housing Board relaxes norms
Bengaluru, June 12: Housing Minister UT Khader said that now, people could get the Housing Board sites immediately by depositing Rs 50,000 as the Karnataka Housing Board has changed the norms imposed earlier to get the flats.
After holding a progress review meeting of his department here on Tuesday, Khader said that there is a wrong notion that there are no buyers for the sites developed by the Karnataka Housing Board. In order to beat such wrong notion, the KHB has relaxed various norms it had imposed to get the sites. As per the earlier norms, the person who wants to purchase KHB site should have stayed in Bengaluru for five years, deposit Rs 90,000 and come under the income limit. Now all these norms were relaxed. Moreover, the KHB officials were directed to develop the layouts better than the private layouts, he said.
For the beneficiaries selected under the Rajiv Gandhi Rural Housing Scheme, the government was not giving financial assistance in the beginning to construct the houses. So, beneficiaries were finding it difficult to construct the houses. In order avoid this inconvenience, the beneficiaries were allowed to get housing loans from local cooperative banks and construct the houses. The government would repay the loan amount out of the grants being given to the beneficiaries, he said.
Till now, the KHB has been constructing G+3 apartments. But now, it was decided to construct G+14 flats and such flats would accommodate more beneficiaries. Such multi-storied buildings would be constructed in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru and other big cities, he said.
In order to implement the central government’s Smart City Project effectively, preparations were being made. A commissioner would be appointed separately to look into the execution of the project in the state, the Minister said.
Karnataka Housing Board, Bengaluru Development Authority and private real estate companies should come under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act- 2016 (RERA). Those companies and institutions which are out of the ambit of the Act would be blacklisted and legal action would be taken against them.
