## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## (SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

(a) &  (b):  Yes,  Sir.    Delhi  Development  Authority  (DDA)  has informed that keeping in view area, number of rooms and higher specifications of the flat,  it was decided to treat these flats as One Bed Room/Lower Income Group (LIG) flat and the cost was accordingly  charged  on  the  basis  of  weighted  average  of  Plinth Area Rates.  In majority of cases the applicants have not provided any specific reasons for surrender of the flats. However, some of the reasons as reported are as under:

- (i) Applicants did not like the location of the allotted flats; and
- (ii) Size of the allotted flats was small. DDA has taken following corrective steps:
- DDA has decided to refund 50% of the 'Maintenance Fund' charged for undertaking maintenance works for 30 years from  the  allottees  of  one  bedroom/LIG  flats  of  Housing
- (i) Scheme 2014/ Awasiya Yojana 2017.
- (ii) DDA has started shuttle bus service from the nearest Bus Terminal and Metro Station from the 1 st Week of December, 2018 at Narela, Siraspur and Rohini Sector 34 & 35, free of cost to the residents of these DDA flats.
- (iii) DDA has  allotted  23  shops  for  daily  needs  to  NAFED  at Dwarka Sector-23B, Rohini Sector-34 and Narela G-2 and G-8.
- (iv) DDA has handed over Porta Cabins to Mother Dairy  and Safal for starting sales outlets at Narela.
- (c) &  (d):  DDA  has  informed  that  the  Authority  has  approved execution  of  Conveyance  Deed  for  allottees  of  Housing Scheme 2014 after payment of balance 10% cost of the flat (since only 90% of the cost of the flat has been deposited at the time of possession) along with simple interest @ 10% per annum  as  per  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  scheme. However,  no  such  interest is being charged  from the allottees  of  Housing  Scheme  2017,  as  they  have  already deposited the full cost of the flat.
- (e): DDA has informed that no relaxation has been granted/approved by the Authority.
