Chandigarh, 15 th June 2017: It has been noticed that certain allotments pertaining to the Discretionary Quota had been cancelled by Chandigarh Housing Board as the allottees had sold/transferred the allotments on Discretionary Quota as the dwelling units under Discretionary Quota were not transferable under the GPA Policy when it was enacted. Later, the Board relaxed this provision on 11-12.08.2000 & allowed the Discretionary Quota houses to be transferred in favour of the buyers who had bought such Discretionary Quota allotted houses. Before the relaxation, however, certain cases have surfaced where the Discretionary Quota houses were cancelled due to having being sold by the allottees. Since the Board has framed a policy for regularizing cancellations made on the basis of false affidavits, similarly it is hereby ordered that such Discretionary Quota cancellations will also be regularized henceforth.
