Indiramma House allotment to be cancelled if work did not begin; affordable flats’ construction in Hyderabad by Bonalu

Telangana Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced on Monday (September 21) that a decision was taken to cancel the allotment of Indiramma Houses if construction did not begin and allot the same to people who are eligible.

The government provides a subsidy of ₹5 lakh per house in installments. Beneficiaries have to use their own money, at least initially, to begin the construction. The first instalment is released after completion of the basement. However, some of the beneficiaries could not roll out the construction since they had difficulty in raising the initial amount needed.

The issue was raised in the recently held monsoon session of the State Assembly. In response, the Housing Minister said that an advance amount of ₹1 lakh is provided by Self Help Groups (SHG) if beneficiaries are its members.
