CREDAI should clarify on 1 BHK flat for rupees 5 lakh

Maple Shelters who recently offered  1 BHK flat only for rupees 5 lakh under Pradhan Mantra Awas Yojana (PMAY). But recently Maple has sold 30 square meter flats at whopping cost of around 19 lakhs . There was a lot of chaos after advertisment regarding this appeared in media. Fact is, it is almost impossible to provide 1 BHK flat in 5 Lakh rupees in or around pune . However Credai pune metro has made rival argument supporting Maple shelters.Hence the responsibility to clarify on , how come these flats worth around 19 lakhs rupees will be made available in just 5 lakh rupees is on credai only

No doubt Credai has full right to support its members. But the way it presented its stand on claims made by Maple shelters that may not be acceptable to all. Because aims of credai are to perpetuate self-imposed and mandatory for all the member an ethical code of conduct. But it seems that credai has devited from it.

Credai has claimed that , it is possible for a developer to deliver homes at  a cost of Rs. 7.2 lakhs as advertised by the Maple shelters. Credai also confirmed that at the cost of Rs. 2200 psf, in the fringe areas where land costs are low, homes are possible to be constructed and delivered. With the subsidy of Rs. 2.2 lakhs under the PMAY CLSS scheme, it is very possible to deliver homes to the affordable segment at a cost of Rs. 5 lakhs as envisaged by the Government.

Now let us have a look at two sale deeds registered in March 2016. Both sale deed are of same maple shelters who is claiming to provide 1 BHK flat in just 5  lakhs. One is of what they call moshi annex of Kharabwadi and other is of Nanekarwadi.

At kharabwadi they have  sold a flat of area 29.17 square metres ( exactly the carpet area equivalent to scheme under PMAY) at rupees 18,38,942 /- ( Rupees eighteen lakh thirty eight thousand nine hudred and fourty two ) that comes to around 6,129 rupees per square foot. Even as per ready reckoner rate comes to around 4,350/-
