ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Affordable Housing in Gurgaon
The much talked about segment of real estate has gained momentum speedily. As part of the initiative initiated by the Prime Minister to provide affordable housing to all, affordable housing projects have been a motive by the government to provide an own house to all the sections of the society so that nobody remains homeless. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana was launched in June.  Affordable housing refers to the housing units that affordable by the section of society whose income is below the median household income. The price related to affordable housing will vary depending upon the regions. The affordable housing units for the metropolitan regions should have a capping area of 30 square meters and for non-metropolitans, the area should be 60 square meters.  Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, etc. fall under the metropolitan region and rest of the areas would lie under the later one.
The affordable housing projects have a high rate of absorption as there is a lot of demand for the low-cost units. The affordable housing factor is going to benefit as the land cost is going to be lower in the areas where affordable housing has to take place. The developers should bring projects according to the need of buyers and investors.  It’s quite clear that there are people who are still aspiring for own houses so the developers should work in the same direction to maintain a consistency in the market.  According to the reports, 1.77 million people are still homeless in India and most of them are relying on the rented properties.  The statistics clearly show that there is a high demand for housing units and preferably these housing units should be easily affordable by the majority. The demand for affordable housing projects is rapid says the industry experts. Approximately, 12,000 applications belonging to the middle and low-middle income home buyers have been processed by different banks for interest subsidy in just two months. This number may reach 50,000 by August says the Housing Ministry. The various initiatives taken by the financial institutions in the form of interest reduction on home loans are paving way for the aspirants striving to buy their first home. The enactment of GST has not only made the taxation process easier but has also introduced transparency. These enactments are altogether fostering the market and also encouraging people to invest.
