The government is sympathetic towards the housing needs of mill workers, and we are willing to consider concessions in registration and stamp duty to boost affordable housing, Save said. NAREDCO Maharashtra has requested further concessions in stamp duty and registration of housing properties to boost housing sales.
The state government has already given a one percent reduction on registration to women who want to buy a residential property. We will also think of what other concessions for registration could we extend, Save said. The government will consider major suggestions coming from the NAREDCO's forum in the new housing policy.
MHADA has a stock of 2000 houses, and we have received 30,000 applications. We have announced a reduction in the cost of MHADA houses on declared price with respect to the surplus tenements received under Sections 33(5) and 33(7) only, Save informed.
