We plan to provide 30 sq m flat on RS8-9 Lakh.
on The private sector, this will cost RS13-15 lakh.
“The Head of Civic added that the meeting had been held with officials of various banks for financial closure.
“We will send proposals to the government who are looking for RS2.5 Lakh subsidies.
The recipient must bear RS1.5-2.5 lakh.
The remaining RS4 Lakh will be in the form of a loan.
It is very important for the success of the project.
We will get beneficiaries and it will be convenient for They if we facilitate loans before the beginning of construction.

There is a head known as the ‘addutt’ budget.
Work cannot be planned on budget provisions in the head.
There is a system indicating disbursement from ‘addutt’ to work if there is no money left On each other’s heads.
This creates an obligation and triggers the financial crisis.
I made it obliged to propose works according to the money available on their respective heads.
I also ensure the naming works for the amount available in ‘Addutt’.
These steps tend to improve NMC finance, “he said.
NMC has been able to clean down obstacles and restart the construction of Metro Mall.
