Chandigarh, February 12

The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has decided not to take action in respect of complaints of the violations in cases where the penalty charges have been deposited by allottees.

Further, no action will be taken for the show-cause notices and the appeal cases, for the period for which the penalty charges are deposited by the allottees.

The board has allowed its allottees to retain additional constructions or encroachments not covered under the approved need-based changes, for a period of one year on payment of penalty charges to be paid annually.

The allottees are also required to submit a certificate of structural stability to the Chandigarh Housing Board from a qualified structural engineer registered with the Chandigarh Administration in the interest of safety of the occupants and in the interest of public safety.

The Chandigarh Housing Board has also started the work relating to the physical verification of the ‘beneficiary-led construction’ vertical under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna.

Officials of the board will be visiting dwelling units of the applicants for the physical survey soon.
