Guidelines for Interest Subsidy Scheme for Housing the Urban Poor (ISHUP)
|
Affordable Housing for All’ is an
important policy agenda of the Government of India. The Government has sought to
create an enabling and a supportive environment for expanding credit flow to the
housing sector and increasing home ownership in the country. Various national
policy pronouncements have reinforced the primacy of the housing sector and the
need to provide shelter opportunities to all. A major initiative has
beenlaunched for provision of housing for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)
and Low Income Groups (LIG) through the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal
Mission (JNNURM).
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MH&UPA), Government of India has designed an Interest Subsidy Scheme as an additional instrument for addressing the housing needs of the EWS/LIG segments in urban areas. The Scheme envisages the provision of interest subsidy to EWS and LIG segments to enable them to buy or construct houses.
