NEW DELHI, Mar 19:
A Parliamentary panel has asked Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (HUPA) Ministry to immediately get thoroughly investigated the alleged cases of fraud in its housing scheme PMAY (Urban).
“The Committee is perturbed to note cases of fraud and cheating taking place in many cities including NCR of Delhi for allocation of houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) with fake propaganda that a house could be booked by just paying Rs 150 by unscrupulous elements and fraud NGOs etc,” the panel said.
The ‘standing committee on urban development’, in its reports ‘Demands for Grants (2017-18)’ for HUPA Ministry, noted that a lot of bogus builders/developers are apparently registering and enlisting a lot of consumers for allotment of economic weaker section/ lower income group house in the name of affordable housing scheme under the mission of ‘Housing for All by 2022’. “The committee strongly caution and recommend that HUPA Ministry should immediately swing into action and get such complaints thoroughly investigated in all states and UTs as one of their prime scheme, named PMAY (U) is being misused for illegal money-making by some corrupt-minded anti-social elements,” the panel, headed by Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Pinaki Misra, said.
