Introduction Affordable Housing Defined as: • There is no clear-cut definition of the term ‘affordable’, as it is a relative concept and could have several implied meanings in different contexts. • According to the RICS Report on Making Urban Housing Work in India, affordability in the context of urban housing means provision of ‘adequate shelter’ on a sustained basis, ensuring security of tenure within the means of the common urban household. • According to the Task Force on Affordable Housing set up by the MHUPA in 2008, affordable housing for various segments is defined by size of the dwelling and housing affordability derived by the household income of the population. • Jones Lang LaSalle’s Definition of Affordable Housing. – Minimum volume of habitation. – Provision of basic amenities. – Cost of the house. – Location of the House.

Needs of Affordable Housing Urbanisation and Housing Shortage in India. • As per 2011 census, the country had a population of 1,210.98 million, out of which, 377.10 million (31.16%) lived in urban areas. • During 2001-2011, the urban population of India grew at a CAGR of 2.8%, resulting in the increase in level of urbanisation from 27.81% to 31.16%. • This growing concentration of people in urban areas has led to problems of land shortage, housing shortfall and congested transit and has also severely stressed the existing basic amenities such as water, power and open spaces of the towns and cities. • According to the 2011 census, the housing stock in urban India stood at 78.48 million for 78.86 million urban households. • Urbanisation has resulted in people increasingly living in slums and squatter settlements and has deteriorated the housing conditions of the economically weaker sections of the society. • According to estimates of the Technical Group constituted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA), the urban housing shortage in the country at the end of the 10th Five-Year Plan was estimated to be 24.71 million for 66.30 million households.

Some of the factors that affect the supply and demand of housing stock • Demographic and behavioural factors • Migration (to cities and potential employment) • Increased life expectancy • Building codes • A greater propensity for people to live alone • Young adults delaying forming their own household (in advanced economies). • Exclusionary zoning
- 10. Critical issues in the affordable housing • Scarcity of Land • Scarcity of marketable land parcels • Tilting issues • Rising costs • Regulatory Constraints Others, • Developing affordable housing in Indian cities faces significant challenges due to several economic, regulatory and urban issues. • Excessive Control on Development of Land Creates Artificial Shortage. • Lack of Marketable Land Parcels. • Titling Issues and Lack of Information. • Rising Threshold Costs of Construction. • Lack of Access to Home Finance for Low-Income Groups. • Lengthy Approval and Land Use Conversion Process

The developers will get 100% tax exemption for affordable Housing projects approved between June 2016 & March 2019 and completed within 5 years from the date of approval. However, MAT is applicable which they can adjust in later year profits. The service taxis also exempted for affordable Housing. ii. Developers can access FDI which will be cheaper
- 12. POLICY FRAMEWORK AND REGULATION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING Central Level Schemes • National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy (NUHHP), 2007 • Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) • Basic Services for the Urban Poor (BSUP) • Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme. • Interest Subsidy Scheme for Housing the Urban Poor (ISHUP). • Rajiv Awas Yojana
- 13. Concluding Remark • Historically, housing for the poor and the economically weaker sections of the society ( EWS) has been provided by the government under various welfare schemes. • The main reasons for rise in shortage in affordable housing on the supply side is lack of availability of urban land, rising construction costs and regulatory issues while lack of access to home finance for low income groups are constraints on the demand side.
