Karnataka Government is all set to Distribute 20k Homes to Economically Weaker Section in March'24

Karnataka Govt is going to handover more than twenty thousand units of homes under the Bengaluru CM’s Multi-Storey Housing Scheme to beneficiaries of the urban poor and those falling under SC categories by March 2024 through Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation Limited. Such act of generosity is definitely going to be the best Ugadi Gift from the state government.

Managing Director of Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation Limited, Susheelamma N, quoted, “The work for ground plus 3 and stilt plus 14 floors format is going on at a fast pace in 29 different survey numbers in Bengaluru Urban district. By Jan, 20,000 houses will be almost ready. The project had started in 2017.”  

Susheelamma further added that a 1BHK unit will be spread over 500 sqft including common area. Each unit will cost Rs. 10.60 lakhs only. Out of the total subsidy of Rs. 2.70 lakh, Rs. 1.5 lakh will come from the union government under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and Rs. 1.20 lakh from the state for beneficiaries falling in the general category. For the SC community, the union government would give Rs. 1.5 lakh and the state government would give Rs. 2 lakh as subsidy.

Each of the units will be enjoying uninterrupted services like power, water and amenities including a Sewage Treatment Plant approved by RERA.

Susheelamma mentioned that, RGHCL has already initiated E-Khata process and about 5,600 units are pending before Panchayat Development Officers for approvals. There is a software issue to generate the Property Identification details, it is yet to reflect on ‘E-Swathu’ platform. The concerned department has to rectify and hopefully by March, 20,000 houses will be successfully handed over to the beneficiaries.
