The Gujarat government today extended the 100% penalty waiver until Sept 30, in the old schemes of the Gujarat Housing Board and Slum Clearance Cell, which is set to bring relief to thousands.

Chief minister Bhupendra Patel’s decision to extend the CM’s incentive compensation scheme is set to target around 61,310 families.

To aid the beneficiaries unable to meet their installment obligations, the Gujarat government also introduced a new policy that will reduce the interest on remaining penalties for those who have lagged in their payments, officials said.

Additionally, the scheme allows homeowners to clear their debts and obtain their property ownership documents.
