Chandigarh, July 29

The Haryana Government today removed the provision of freezing 50 per cent of the saleable area under the Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojana — affordable plotted housing policy launched in 2016.

The state Cabinet, which met under Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, today accorded approval to a proposal regarding the same. As a matter of security against any possible delinquencies in the completion of the project, now the coloniser will be required to mortgage residential plots covering a saleable area of 10 per cent each against the bank guarantee needed on the account of Internal Development Works as well as External Development Charges in favour of the director.

AS PER THE AMENDEMENT…

• The developers will get an additional option to construct a need-based community site on their own cost for the use of the colony residents at large
• They will not be allowed to earn any profit such as membership charges from such community building
• They are required to get occupation certificate of the site before granting the final completion certificate

Meanwhile, the Cabinet also approved the Haryana Land Pooling Policy-2022.

As the landowners will be partners in the development process, the policy aims at offering maximum benefit to them by linking the allotment of land with the cost of raw land.

The policy prescribed timelines to be followed at various stages so that the interests of landowners are protected and the objective of land development in a time-bound manner is achieved.

The objective of the policy is to achieve the purpose

of planned development, including that of infrastructure, and for the purpose to obtain land through voluntary participation of owners, interested to become partners in the said development.

It is aimed at evolving a fair and transparent mechanism for the pooling of land for the development of a sector or part thereof within the conforming zone of the development plan published by the state government under the provisions of the Haryana Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963.

The Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikarn will have the mandate under this policy for the development of residential, commercial, institutional and infrastructure purposes in case of the areas situated within the urbanisable area in any published development plans under this policy.

Besides this, Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited will have the mandate for the development of industrial, infrastructure or institutional purposes anywhere in Haryana under this policy.

It will also be applicable to the owner offering land for the project for the specified development purpose and to the aggregator who collects land under several owners in agreement with them for offering land for the specified development purpose.
