The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has initiated a demand survey for its upcoming self-financing general housing scheme in Sector 53, Chandigarh. This survey aims to assess interest levels among potential applicants before the official launch of the scheme.

Scheme Overview:

• Total Units: 372 flats
  • 192 three-bedroom High-Income Group (HIG) units
  • 100 two-bedroom Middle-Income Group (MIG) units
  • 80 two-bedroom Economically Weaker Section (EWS) flats

Participation Details:

• Survey Fee: ₹10,000 for HIG and MIG units; ₹5,000 for EWS units

  • This fee will be adjusted against the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) upon the scheme's launch.
  • If an applicant chooses not to proceed after the scheme's launch, the deposited amount will be forfeited.

• Submission Period: February 22 to March 3, 2025

• Submission Location: CHB office, Sector 9-D, Chandigarh

Interested individuals can apply online and access the necessary forms and terms on the CHB's official website:

This initiative follows directives from UT Chief Secretary Rajeev Verma, who, in his capacity as CHB Chairman, emphasized the need for a fresh demand survey to gauge current housing requirements. A previous survey conducted in 2018 was followed by the scheme's suspension in August 2023 due to perceived lack of demand. However, renewed interest in November 2024 has prompted the CHB to revisit and potentially relaunch the project.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to participate in the survey within the specified dates to express their interest in the Sector 53 housing scheme.
