Survey for Housing For All beneficiaries begins in Nagpur


NAGPUR: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has started the process to provide flats and subsidized housing loans under the central government's Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana or Housing For All scheme. Citizens with total family income up to Rs6 lakh per annum can apply online and avail the scheme that will continue up to 2022. However, the scheme is a subsidized housing project and not a free housing project that was implemented by the UPA government in the past.

Mayor Pravin Datke in a press conference said that a survey to know exact requirement of flats and subsidized housing loans began on Monday. "Three types of persons are eligible for the scheme slum dwellers, economic weaker sections (EWS) citizens with income up to Rs3 lakh/annum and lower income group (LIG) citizens with income up to Rs6 lakh/annum. EWS and LIG citizens will have to fill application provided online on NMC's website nmcnagpur.gov.in within one month. Survey followed by filling up of applications will be conducted in 178 of total 289 notified slums for three months. Process to denotify 111 slums is going on so they will be excluded from the scheme," he said.

Datke added that a detailed project report seeking funds will be submitted to the government after the survey ends. "Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) and MHADA will also plan housing projects under the scheme," he said.

Deputy municipal commissioner Sanjay Kakade said applicants will have to submit a printout of the filled-out form and submit it at counters opened at all ten zone offices. "Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) is going to execute the scheme. Applicants will have to submit copies of voting card, aadhar card, property tax receipt, power bill, domicile certificate, ration card and income certificate along with application form and pay registration fees of Rs100. The applicant should not have availed any other housing scheme of the government. Also, applicants should not have own house in his name in the nation. Citizens can contact on 0712-2570023 or 09326371449 for further details," he said.

The scheme will be implemented in four different categories. First category is for slum-dwellers from notified slums. NMC will construct pucca houses in which Rs2 lakh will come from the central and state governments and remaining would be borne by beneficiaries. The NMC will try to keep the beneficiaries' share very low in redevelopment schemes.

In the second category, those EWS and LIG citizens who own a piece of land will be given housing loan up to Rs6 lakh at interest of 6.5% from nationalized banks. EWS citizens will have to construct up to 30 sqmt house while 60 sqmt for LIG citizens.

In the third category, the NMC or NIT or MHADA will construct housing projects with 250 flats in association with private builders. Size of each flat will be 30 sq mt. The central and state governments to provide funds of Rs2.50 lakh per flat and remaining will be borne by beneficiaries that will be brought down to minimal by the NMC's initiatives.

In the fourth category, EWS citizens will be given financial assistance of Rs2.50 lakh from the central and state governments for converting their temporary houses into pucca or even for expansion.
