The owners of small flats given under slum rehabilitation schemes, flats given under affordable rental housing scheme and commercial and residential flats in different sectors and colonies concluded the list from where the dues were recovered.
The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has recovered Rs 8 crore from people who have failed to clear their pending dues but there are still about 24,000 defaulters who owe more than Rs 75 crore to the board.
In a bid to recover the dues the CHB had recently started issuing eviction and cancellation notices to defaulters. The defaulters included owners of small flats given under slum rehabilitation schemes, flats given under affordable rental housing scheme and commercial and residential flats in different sectors and colonies
The cancellation notices were being issues to 11,641 allottees of small flats and ARHC flats. The CHB had also started serving the evictions notices, but since some of the defaulters approached and sought more time, the board on Thursday gave five more days to the defaulters.
Initially, notices were sent to only those defaulters who owe more than Rs 10,000 to the CHB. All the allottees were asked to clear their dues by March 25. Those who failed to do so started receiving eviction notices. The CHB has made arrangements for defaulters to pay their pending dues through online payment or through e-sampark centres.
“Once a unit is cancelled, the allottee is required to vacate it and if the appellate authority allows its restoration then the allottee is required to pay all the pending dues, interest and revival charges also,” said a senior board official.
Recently, the CHB had carried out exercise like list of dues were uploaded on the board’s website, public notices were issued, special collection counters put up at Dhanas, Mauli Jagran, Maloya and CHB office complex, started online payment facility and payment facility at all e-sampark centres.
