BDD Chawl Redevelopment: MHADA to Provide 11 Months' Rent

19 Jun 2024 CW Team

In the BDD Chawl Redevelopment Project, eligible tenants, who have not opted for transit camp accommodations provided by MHADA, will receive this rent. Initially, tenants were given 11 months' rent in advance and it was decided that after this instalment they will be given rent on monthly basis. However, tenants requested that the rent be given in a lump sum for the next 11 months as well. Responding positively to this demand, Sanjeev Jaiswal, Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, MHADA, approved this proposal.

According to this decision, this policy will continue until tenants are relocated to the new rehabilitation units. Eligible tenants, verified by the concerned Executive Engineer, will receive 11 months' rent in one installment. If the stay extends beyond 11 months, tenants will receive the corresponding rent for the duration of their stay. Rent will be provided based on the actual duration of stay, not just a blanket 11 months.

Eligible residential tenants, who do not prefer transit accommodations are given ₹25,000 per month as rent by MHADA.
