Chandigarh Housing Board Revives GPA Transfer Policy and Approves Interest Waiver
The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has reintroduced its General Power of Attorney (GPA) transfer policy as a one-time exception for six months, allowing property owners with GPAs executed before October 11, 2011, to regularise ownership. The CHB also approved a one-time interest waiver for around 14,000 beneficiaries of the Small Flats Scheme-2006 and Affordable Rental Housing Complexes, aiming to ease financial burdens. These decisions, made under CHB chairman H Rajesh Prasad, await final approval from the city administrator.
