There have been made various amendments in this scheme since in past few fiscals. The latest ones are:
Extending period within which housing project is to be completed to five years from the date of approval.
Substituting references to “built-up area” with “carpet area” as defined in the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
A project situated in the outskirts of metro cities (i.e. located within 25 KM periphery of municipal limits of metro cities), which were earlier required to comply with conditions applicable for housing project located in metro cities, now need to comply with less restrictive conditions as applicable to housing project located in any other place in India.
Now that the scheme is made available for one more year, this comes as a boost for affordable housing in India.
