CHB Cancels 29 Flats Over Licence Fee Defaults

The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has intensified its enforcement against allottees defaulting on outstanding licence fees. Following the revocation of 126 small flats in December, the CHB nullified the allocation of 29 additional dwellings in the first week of the new year.

These cancellations pertain to houses under the Small Flats Scheme in Sector-49 and other areas. The 29 flats have pending licence fees ranging from Rs 40,000 to ?1.50 lakh per unit. Defaulters have been directed to vacate the properties within a month and surrender possession to the board.

The CHB recently published a list of rent defaulters, urging allottees to settle dues or risk losing their allotments. Initially allotted at a baseline licence fee of ?800 per month, subsequent revisions failed to ensure payments, leaving crores of rupees unpaid.

Despite the allotment of over 18,000 houses under the scheme, more than 13,500 allottees remain in default, causing significant financial strain on the board.
