Providing benefit to the owners, the board in its meeting decided to do away with the requirement of sureties for transfer of all categories of flats under all its housing schemes. Officials said, Chandigarh Housing Board had a policy taking two sureties under the transfer policy of flats since 2009, including GPA transfers. As per the transfer policy, one surety was to be of a regular employee of a Board, Corporation or undertaking of the Govt. or other statutory autonomous bodies or scheduled banks, having 10 year of service still to be rendered.
In addition, the second surety was to be of an allottee or owner of the same category of CHB dwelling units of the same or higher value.
