In a major push towards administrative reforms and citizen-centric governance, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini chaired the 128th meeting of the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), where he made a series of landmark announcements aimed at improving urban development, easing compliance for allottees, and accelerating infrastructure upgrades across key urban estates of the state.
One of the most significant declarations of the meeting was the launch of an Amnesty Scheme for residential plots that were cancelled after being auctioned via e-auctions post July 6, 2020. This scheme is expected to bring relief to thousands of property allottees who had failed to deposit the full payment within the stipulated period, leading to the cancellation of their plots. The Chief Minister emphasized that the initiative is aimed at giving these individuals another chance to reclaim their allotted plots by clearing their dues along with interest, thereby restoring their property rights and easing financial distress.
Chief Minister Saini clarified that the amnesty scheme will be applicable exclusively to residential category plots (excluding group housing societies) that were auctioned via e-mode between July 6, 2020, and the date of the scheme’s announcement. Allottees who had deposited at least 15% of the total cost but failed to pay the remaining amount on time will now be eligible to regularize their plots. They will need to pay their outstanding balance with an annual interest of 18%, calculated from the due date to the actual date of payment. For those who had earlier missed the opportunity to benefit from a previous amnesty scheme, the interest applicable under this fresh policy will be 24% annually.
The scheme, however, comes with strict timelines. All dues, including interest, must be paid within 60 days of the scheme’s notification. There will be no option for instalments or extensions, reinforcing the government’s intent to ensure quick and efficient regularization.
The meeting also marked a significant administrative boost for the Faridabad urban estate, as the Chief Minister approved the creation of a new post for an Estate Officer-II. The need for this post has been long felt due to the immense workload in Faridabad, which currently manages 62,606 properties across residential, commercial, and institutional categories—the highest among all urban estates in Haryana. By comparison, both Gurgaon estates together manage a lesser volume of 55,735 properties.
The Faridabad jurisdiction, spread across 70 sectors and covering extended areas such as Palwal, Hathin, Nuh, Roz-ka-Meo, and Taoru, has been facing severe administrative pressure. The new appointment is expected to bring balance to the division of responsibilities, simplify processes, and fast-track ongoing development initiatives. The move is also projected to significantly improve service delivery to citizens through more responsive estate management.
Adding further momentum to Haryana’s digital governance vision, Chief Minister Saini also launched three key digital initiatives under HSVP. These include the HSVP e-Awas Portal, which will fully digitize the allotment process of staff quarters for government employees. Integrated with the HRMS system, the portal will enable employees to apply online and upload necessary documents, ensuring automated eligibility verification and enhancing procedural transparency.
Another innovation is the online Ex-Gratia Policy Application Portal, specially designed to assist the families of deceased HSVP employees. The system will allow online applications and document submissions, such as death certificates and affidavits, making the process compassionate, streamlined, and less burdensome for bereaved families.
The third digital reform involves the integration of the water billing database with HSVP’s Plot and Property Management (PPM) system. This integration ensures automatic verification of water bill dues during property transfers and other plot-related activities, eliminating procedural bottlenecks and enhancing operational efficiency.
In an additional development, the HSVP board approved the transfer of five acres of land in Sector 23, Ballabgarh, to the Higher Education Department for the construction of a new government college, a move that will open new avenues for quality education in the region.
Addressing the issue of urban infrastructure upkeep, Chief Minister Saini directed that all road repair works under HSVP must be completed before June 15. He also emphasized proper maintenance of public parks, instructing officials to ensure cleanliness, lighting, proper walkways, and seating arrangements across all HSVP-maintained areas.
The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Rajesh Khullar, Additional Chief Secretary of Town and Country Planning and Urban Estates A.K. Singh, Principal Secretary to CM Arun Gupta, Principal Secretary of Industries and Commerce Department D. Suresh, and OSD to CM B.B. Bharti, among other senior officials.
These multi-faceted decisions and initiatives reflect a proactive and reform-oriented approach by the Haryana government, aimed at streamlining urban development, supporting distressed allottees, and leveraging digital platforms for transparent and accountable governance.
