GHAZIABAD: The Ghaziabad Development Authority took exception to delays in the construction of EWS and LIG flats by developers for the economically disadvantaged group of the society.
In the meeting held on Friday with integrated township developers, the department asked developers about the delay and asked them to complete the allotments within two weeks, failing which GDA would refuse a completion certificate to the developers.
“The GDA has taken exception to such a low percentage of allotment rates of EWS and LIG flats, which are meant for the economically disadvantaged group section of society. They have been given some more time, and if the allotment is not made, then GDA will refuse CC to the developers,” said a GDA official.
According to data, 4,860 EWS flats were to be constructed by integrated township developers, out of which 1,717 were developed and 1,455 allotted. Likewise, out of 4,860 LIG flats, 1,255 were developed, but only 1385 were allotted.
It is compulsory for group housing developers to construct 10% of total flats under the EWS category and 10% under the LIG category. The map sanction by GDA is given only when a developer comes with a plan for 10% EWS and LIG flat categories, and these flats are to be constructed within a stipulated time.
The cost of flats under the LIG category should be about Rs 9 lakh and Rs 6 lakh for EWS flats, and the area of such flats should be between 24 sqm and 36 sqm for the EWS category and between 40 sqm and 60 sqm under the LIG category. However, many developers fail to comply with it, even though, norms say, the flats should be constructed within three years from the date of map sanction by development authorities.
