NEW DELHI: The Haryana government has updated its Affordable Housing Policy, 2013, adjusting parking requirements and increasing allotment rates for residential units in cities like Gurugram and Faridabad.
According to the updated policy, developers are now required to provide one equivalent car space (ECS) for each dwelling unit. The cost for this parking will be limited to 10% of the flat’s purchase price. Additional parking can be allocated for visitors or two-wheelers, with designated slots to be specified during building plan approvals.
For ongoing projects lacking these parking provisions, developers must secure consent from at least two-thirds of the allottees for any changes to the building plans. This requirement does not apply to projects that have already obtained occupation certificates for all towers.
The government has also modified the maximum allotment prices for affordable housing units. In Gurugram, the new cap is set at ₹5,575 per sq ft of carpet area, while Faridabad and Sohna rates are capped at ₹5,450 per sq ft. Towns with higher potential will have a cap of ₹5,050 per sq ft, whereas lower potential towns will be capped at ₹4,250 per sq ft.
Additionally, developers are allowed to charge up to ₹1,300 per sq ft for balconies, with a maximum limit of 100 sq ft per unit and a total cap of ₹1.3 lakh per flat.
The updated rates will apply to projects where allotments have yet to be made. For projects where applications have already been initiated, developers may request the difference from successful applicants. Those who do not wish to proceed under the new terms will be able to withdraw with a full refund.
