What this is

The scheme aims to encourage affordable rental housing development. Through this scheme, Floor Space Index benefits and regulatory relaxations are provided to eligible housing projects.

In detail

The scheme “Scheme for Promotion of Affordable Rental Smart Housing (SPARSH 2.0)” implemented through verticals "Incentivising the development or redevelopment of housing complexes and residential spaces for urban poor as SPARSH 2.0 housing complexes by relaxing construction norms for such complexes" by the Labour & Employment Department, UT Administration of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu aims to encourage development and redevelopment of affordable rental housing infrastructure. Through this scheme, additional Floor Space Index benefits, additional ground coverage, commercial utilisation relaxations, and regulatory relaxations are provided to eligible housing complex developers and owners. It also mandates the reservation of dwelling units for beneficiaries of the Economically Weaker Section. Housing complexes registered under the scheme become eligible for further scheme incentives and benefits. The registration process also ensures annual monitoring and compliance verification. SPARSH 2.0 is applicable across Daman, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Diu for the period from 2022 to 2027.
