One of the key reasons for shortage is that citizens in the HIG and a few MIG strata have multiple houses, which are used mostly for investment purposes rather than actual staying. The govt should encourage people to buy the first house by way of tax sops and better interest rates. This should be linked to a PAN number so that misuse is prevented.

Affordable low cost Housing for the Urban poor is an essential requirement for building Smart Cities. The Slums have to be removed but the people living in them must also be provided Alternate houses . Thousands of Acres of Unused P.W.D and Railway Land are lying vacant in almost all Urban Areas , Buildings with 2 BHK flats can be built in these lands and provided as alternate housing for the Slum Dwellers. Low cost Housing Loans with a certain % of government subsidy should also be provided.

The cost of the carpet area is very high it should be transparent just like other product eg. cost of the land plus construction plus interest plus margin and that should be charged to the customers. Second thing that whatever housing development is planned that should always take care of transportation, basic amenities, education, etc. which make sure the customer that their investment is worthy. The other facilities like gym, swimming pool, clubhouse etc should be separate and depend on need

Most of builders in our country load 35% of carpet area in the saleable area. Also the per sqft rate is way higher than reckoner rates of the local municipality. Builders also charge around 5-7 Lac for covered car park & other facilities like gym, clubhouse & swimming pool. All this has inflated the flat cost so high, that it is impossible for a normal middle class person to buy his own flat. Why don't we have a real estate regulator with prosecution powers&authority to curb all malpractices?
