Pawan Kumar Dhoot, Managing Director of Dhoot Group, said, “This is expected to boost the real estate growth in the country. Thanks to the prime minister as Housing for All will set a dawn of growth. Construction of houses for all, and more specifically poor, will also generate employment opportunities in the nation.”

In a written reply, Babul Supriyo, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, said housing loans so far disbursed by banks benefited about 1,200 people with a total interest subsidy of about Rs 27 crore.

Under Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme, 6.50 per cent interest subsidy is given to urban beneficiaries belonging to the Economically Weaker Section and Low Income Group on a loan of up to Rs 6 lakh for tenure of 15 years for acquisition, construction and extension of house.
