Deen Dayal Jan AwasYojna is an initiative of Haryana government to encourage the development of ”high density plotted colonies” in Low and Medium Potential towns of Haryana through a liberal policy framework. This policy aims to put a check on mushrooming of unauthorized colonies in these townsand simultaneously achieve the target of ‘Housing For All -2022’
To encourage the development of such colonies by private colonizers, the rates of licence fee and external development charges have been substantially reduced, while the conversion (CLU) charges and infrastructure development charges have been waived off
Even though prices have not been fixed by the government for the plots to be sold under this scheme, the authorities plan to ensure regular and adequate supply of high density plotted colonies which will ensure that the rate of plots are affordable in such colonies.
Unlike Affordable Housing Scheme where draw of lots is conducted, allotment under this scheme shall be done on first cum first serve basis.
The most attractive feature of DDJAY for benefit of prospective buyers is availability of loan up to 80% of property value from all leading institutions. Currently there is a significant cash component involved in land transactions and maximum loan of 60% of cheque value is available. This scheme makes it possible for buyers to purchase freehold, litigation free and loanable plots. First time buyers can avail interest benefits upto 2.35 lacs under Credit Linked Interest Subsidy Scheme of the government.
