GURGAON : Haryana govt on Tuesday introduced a policy to facilitate organised and secure housing projects for senior citizens in the state.h
According to the policy released by additional chief secretary of the town and country planning department (DTCP) Arun Gupta, such housing projects will be allowed only in residential zones and their area can span between 0.5 acre and 10 acres.
The policy for dedicated housing projects was developed in response to a growing trend of smaller family units and an ageing population. It is supposed to benefit those who live alone or in nuclear families.
Each project must include a dining hall of at least 100sqm, a medical room and a recreation room of 500sqm. This should include space for a gym, indoor games and community activities.
Among services that will be mandatory are 24-hour ambulance service, physiotherapy and nursing facilities. The project management should have a tie-up with a nearby hospital in case of emergency.
CCTV surveillance and trained security guards are a must. So is power backup for each apartment, and uninterrupted supply for critical zones such as medical room.
Each project site, according to the policy, must be located along a 12-metre road. The permitted maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is 225, and ground coverage should not exceed 40%. Up to 4% of the total FAR can be dedicated to shops catering to daily needs.
The policy states that district-level monitoring committees will be established to carry out regular inspections to ensure that standards and amenities are complied with.
An online portal will be set up to allow residents to register complaints and access information, and their grievances must be addressed by the deputy commissioner or municipal commissioner.
A tripartite agreement among residents, developers and service providers is required to clearly outline rights and responsibilities. The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, and the Haryana Apartment Act, 1983, will apply to these projects to ensure transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What taxes apply when I sell property in Gurgaon and NCR?
You pay capital gains tax on the profit, lower if you hold beyond the long-term period, with reliefs if you reinvest in another home. Take advice before you sell.
Is it a good time to buy in Gurgaon and NCR?
Timing matters less than buying the right property at a fair price with clean papers. If a home fits your budget and needs, waiting for a perfect market rarely pays.
How do I verify a property title in Gurgaon and NCR?
Check the chain of ownership, the latest record, any loan or lien and pending dues, and match the seller identity to the title. A local lawyer can vet the deed.
What should I check during a site visit in Gurgaon and NCR?
Construction quality, water and power backup, the neighbourhood, road access, and how the actual unit compares to the brochure. Visit at different times of day if you can.
Can I negotiate the price in Gurgaon and NCR?
Resale and ready inventory are usually negotiable, while fresh launches have fixed rates but may waive some charges. Compare recent deals nearby to judge a fair price.
What is the difference between carpet area and super area?
Carpet area is the usable space inside your walls; super area adds a share of common areas. Always confirm the carpet area you actually get before comparing prices.
What extra costs come beyond the price in Gurgaon and NCR?
Budget for stamp duty and registration, GST on under-construction homes, parking, club and maintenance deposits, and loan fees. Ask for a full cost sheet upfront.

Should I buy ready-to-move or under-construction in Gurgaon and NCR?
Ready homes have no wait, no GST and no build risk but cost more; under-construction is cheaper with a longer wait. Choose by your timeline and risk appetite.
How do I book a property in Gurgaon and NCR?
Shortlist, visit, check the papers and RERA, then pay the booking amount and sign the agreement. Read the payment plan and cancellation terms before you commit.
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
For anything beyond a simple, clean deal it helps. A lawyer vets the title, the agreement and the approvals, which is cheap insurance against a costly mistake.
What is a builder-buyer agreement?
It is the core contract between you and the developer, setting the price, payment plan, area, specifications and possession date. Read it fully before signing.
What is an occupancy certificate and why does it matter?
It certifies a building is legally fit to occupy. Never take possession of a completed home without it, since it affects loans, utilities and resale.
What is mutation and why is it important?
Mutation updates the ownership in municipal and revenue records after a sale. Without it the property tax and records still point to the old owner, so get it done.
What credit score do I need for a home loan?
Lenders prefer a healthy score, usually in the mid-700s and above, for the best rates. A lower score can still get a loan but often at a higher rate.
Can I claim tax benefits on a home loan?
Yes, home-loan principal and interest carry deductions under the income tax rules, subject to limits and conditions. Confirm the current rules or ask a tax adviser.
