CHB – Chandigarh Housing Board was established in 1976 by extension of the Haryana Housing Board Act of 1971. The union territory of Chandigarh was included under the act and CHB Chandigarh was formed as a Chandigarh Administration undertaking. Enjoying the status of twin capital, Chandigarh’s basic requirement was of decent and adequate housing facilities. The challenge before Chandigarh Housing Board India was to provide affordable and sound housing shelters to the residents.
Chandigarh Administration allots land and plots in Chandigarh to the CHB at reserve prices on timely intervals. On careful study of the requirements of the general real estate market in the city, Chandigarh Housing Board new scheme is announced and applications invited from general public. The final allotments of Chandigarh Housing Board new schemes are done through a draw of lots and immediate refunds for unsuccessful applications are made. Even for allotment of house numbers before possession, a general draw is conducted by the CHB Officials.
Chandigarh Housing Board CHB Functions:
Chandigarh Housing Board Scheme focuses on large-scale construction of houses and allotments of the Chandigarh Housing Board new schemes to the economically weaker sections of the society on hire and purchase basis. Special attention is devoted to building the strength of each foundation and designing the housing complex with all basic infrastructure facilities in Chandigarh Housing Board flats.
The project is undertaken in the most efficient manner and is processed with remarkable optimality to bring the overall cost of construction down thereby pricing the Chandigarh Housing Board flats quite reasonably when compared to ongoing market prices.
