About the Seminar
Affordable housing for all is the need of the hour to build an inclusive society in 21st century India. Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi launched the ‘Housing for All by 2023’ program, with a primary goal of providing affordable housing for the weaker sections of society. Additionally, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a Government of India initiative focused on delivering affordable housing to the urban poor by 2024. The government has sanctioned eight billion rupees in the present year as a subsidy. In the EWS and LIG categories, beneficiaries can have an annual income of up to six lakh rupees and a maximum subsidy of 6.5 per cent interest subvention can be granted to them.. The working of the above programme is not free from challenges. Therefore, the objective of this seminar is to address the legal and policy challenges in implementing affordable housing for all.
The seminar will begin with examining the jurisprudence of ‘property’ to build a normative framework for the seminar, followed by a detailed discussion of the constitutional history of property rights in the Indian context, furthering into a discussion on the analysis of Property rights in India. It is crucial that laws directly affecting the purchase, construction and sale or transfer of ownership of residential units are being constantly for their impact on major section of society. The challenges faced by Real Estate Industry will be discussed in extensive detail. Issues of land sufficiency, subsidized housing, and middle-class budgeting will be the fulcrum of these discussions. Easy home loans with subsidized interest rates are the primary requirement for housing for all. Home loan departments in both national and private banks have requirements that makes the process very cumbersome. Ease in Compliances enables the idea of “housing for all” to flourish, thereby seminar will discuss banking rules and regulations affecting affordable Housing. The present framework is to be examined for handling complex Real Estate related disputes, especially big-ticket projects. There is no ‘one’ place to solve all disputes related to housing, and therefore, the person in distress finds confusion as to the authority or court to approach. Consumer Protection Act, 2019 covers disputes related to deficiency in services to consumers, but a victim can also approach the civil court in this regard. Owing to their relevance, sub-themes circling these subject-matters have been created to give creative liberty to the authors for identifying critical areas of research.
