CHANDIGARH:Chandigarh Housing Board has allotted about 17000 flats under Rehabilitation
Scheme/Small Flat Scheme/Affordable Rental Housing Scheme. These flats have been allotted for
the occupation of the allottee and their families.
There is also a condition in the allotment letters that such flats cannot be sold/transferred/handed over to other persons. However, the board has
received complaints that some of the allottee have sold/transferred their flats unauthorizedly/illegally. Since such flats cannot be sold/transferred, these instance may be the clear cases of violation of Terms and Conditions and it may also attract criminal case for committing
fraud/cheating etc.
In next few days, the CHB will start a survey of all such flats. Teams of officers of CHB will
visit each of such flat and the survey may include the following aspects:
i. Whether the Flat is occupied by the allottee and his family only.
ii. Whether Monthly rent/licence fee/installments is being paid regularly and presently
dues are not pending against such flat.
Here it is mentioned that:
i. At the time of survey, the occupant of the flat is required to establish his/her identity and being
family member of the allottee. The term family member includes Parent, Brother, Sister, Spouse,
Son, Daughter, Daughter-in Law and Grand Children of the allottee.
ii. Friends, cousins, relatives may reside with the allottee for a shorter duration but they cannot be
permanent resident of the flat. Occupation of the flat by relatives, cousins, friends or other person,
in absence of the Allotee or his/her family members will be treated as violation and the allottee will
be required to explain the same. If it is found that the allottee or his family members are not residing
in the flat, then it will be treated as violation of Terms & Conditions of allotment.
