CHB home loan and credit camp in Bilaspur

Our team in Chhattisgarh recently took part in another credit camp held by the Chhattisgarh Housing Board (CHB) in Bilaspur. MHFC is currently financing several CHB projects across the state - we are more than willing to sanction loans to low-income informal sector customers who lack proper income documentation / salary slips etc. Our competitive interest rates, simple home loan process and effective service have resulted in a successful track record in Chhattisgarh, and we hope to build on this success over the coming years. 

At credit camps, our loan officers sit with customers and explain loan terms and conditions, the loan application process and documentation requirements amongst other things. A few pictures of the camp can be found below:

Pune-based Vastushodh Projects unveils 'Anandgram' project

Vastushodh Projects has recently announced the launch of India's largest affordable housing project by a private developer - AnandGram - located at Bhandgaon on the Pune - Solapur highway. The Pune-based realty company has successfully completed several affordable housing projects, and its most recent announcement should appeal to potential customers. 

The project will come up on a 22 acres picturesque plot at Bhandgaon near Yavat and will have over 2,000 affordable homes spread across 31 modern buildings. 

Some of the amenities at ‘AnandGram - Bhandgaon’ include lifts, community halls, a multipurpose playground, a school, shopping area, solar water heater, solar powered street lights, internal concrete roads and generator backup. Sizes of the homes will range from 249 square feet to 857 square feet, with multiple options that include 1 RK, 1 BHK and 2 BHK flats. More information about the project announcement can be found here. 

MHFC is one of the housing finance companies that has tied up with Vastushodh to provide home loans to customers who are planning on buying flats in this project. MHFC requires minimal documentation / income proof and will be more than willing to support informal sector customers who want to buy a house of their own. For more information regarding home loans for this project, please contact our manager in Pune - Mr. Suraj Pawar - on 8879543963.

Affordable Housing in Rajasthan

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ms Vasundhara Raje has recently launched a new scheme that aims to provide 20% cheaper homes to people from lower income group (LIG) and economically weaker sections (EWS). This is under the Rajasthan Housing for All project of the Rajasthan Housing Board that aims to build ten lakh homes by 2022 - 85% of which would be EWS and LIG. Under the scheme, 10% of land in both, government and private housing schemes would be reserved for LIG and EWS housing. In townships, developers would have to reserve 7% of the land for the same with the government offering a relaxation in the floor - area ratio conditions to private builders.

The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) had under the scheme announced and then scrapped a scheme called the JDA New Flat Scheme 2015. The scheme that invited applications for 621 flats - 337 in EWS category, 219 in LIG category and 65 in MIG category - was scrapped in between after finding irregularities with allottee applications. However, the JDA has recently announced reinvitation of applications for EWS, LIG and MIG (medium income group) allotments under the same scheme.

The JDA has invited online applications for these flats from November 4 to 18 and will upload the list of allottees on their website on December 11, 2015 after documents of all allottees have been verified on December 9, 2015. A lottery of these houses would then be drawn on December 16, 2015.

MHFC has sanctioned over 1000 loans for allottees buying at these schemes in Jaipur and other districts in the state like Jhunjhunu, Jodhpur etc. and looks forward to helping out even more allottees needing loans to buy houses under these schemes.

Home loans for SMC / AMC / GHB customers

MHFC has already sanctioned hundreds of loans for informal sector families who are buying flats in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (“AMC”), Surat Municipal Corporation (“SMC”) & Gujarat Housing Board (“GHB”) projects. We plan to continue supporting customers who have little or no income documentation by helping them buy EWS / LIG / MIG flats in approved affordable housing projects throughout Gujarat. 

Below are some pictures of MHFC representatives and loan officers at credit camps in Ahmedabad and Surat 

MHFC would be very willing to support successful AMC / SMC / GHB allottees who require a loan and are from our segment (financially excluded lower income families) subject to terms and conditions. For more details on loans available, please call our branch manager in Surat (Jignesh Patel on 9016507947) or our branch manager in Ahmedabad (Kashyap Patel – 9925045276).

Shukhobrishti - MHFC financing of 1 BHK and 3 BHK flats

Shukhobrishti - a PPP between Shapoorji Pallonji & the state government of West Bengal - is an affordable housing project located at Rajarhat Newtown, Kolkata. 

The Shukhobrishti Phase 4 draw of lots for Spandan (1 BHK) & Spriha (3 BHK) took place on 12th May 2015 & 13th May 2015 respectively. MHFC had set up a stall during the event to provide housing finance information to customers who had been allotted a flat in the project. 

This is an approved project for MHFC - and we will finance buyers from our segment (subject to our terms and conditions). For more details, please see MHFC website or call our officer in Kolkatta - Mr. Subrata Biswas (9831433440) - or email him on subrata.biswas@mhfcindia.com.  

Surat Municipal Corporation - EWS and LIG homes

Per this TOI article (link below), the Surat Municipal Corporation ("SMC") which is building 11,000 EWS and LIG homes across 37 locations in Surat, has threatened to withdraw Rs. 359 crore worth of fixed deposits from a host of commercial banks unless they provide housing finance to economically weaker section (“EWS”) and low income group (“LIG”) families. Unfortunately, the banks have been refusing to grant low-income people housing loans on account of a lack of proper documentation.

Times of India article

This lack of financial support from mainstream banks and HFCs is precisely why MHFC was actually set up. We have already financed hundreds of informal sector families in Surat who do not have any income proof documents and would be very willing to support successful SMC allottees who require a loan and are from our segment (financially excluded lower income families) subject to terms and conditions. 

Thus, for more details on loans available, please call our branch manager in Surat - Jignesh Patel on 9016507947 - or email us on contact@mhfcindia.com.

MHFC nominated for Financial Times 'Boldness in Business' Award

The beginning of this year has come with fantastic news for MHFC. We were recently given a 5 star impact rating by the world’s leading impact rating agency, GIIRS. Further, we had a full page story on our work and processes along with a customer story in the world’s leading business newspaper - the Financial Times, London.

We are now happy to share some more lovely news! MHFC has been nominated for the prestigious FT Arcelor Mittal ‘Boldness in Business’ award - which will be given out in London on March 19, 2015 (past nominees for the award include amazing companies like Google, Uber and Twitter).

While these are fantastic external recognitions and a strong endorsement of the work being done at MHFC in financial inclusion, we believe that even more exciting and promising this year is that on the supply side, we see several projects coming up - both in the private and public sector - which would mean increased activity at MHFC and greater opportunities to help many more financially excluded families get a home of their own.

MHFC partners with Playtor Lifespaces for three affordable housing projects in Pune

Even though various numbers and studies for Q3 2014 show a relative dip in affordable housing nationally, the city of Pune has fared relatively better owing to its demand for affordable houses. The year 2015 however, promises to be a good year for affordable housing (read here).

Specifically, Pune based Sangam Realty who have projects in low cost housing have announced a partnership with Brick Eagle (a financial services company), to launch Playtor Childspaces - with three projects in the outskirts of Pune namely, Rajgurunagar, Ranjangaon and Paud. The projects have already opened for applications and given the pricing of Rs 10 lakhs (for a 1 BHK flat of 367 sq ft), we believe that this should be of keen interest to our segment, and hence we are excited to partner with the developer.  

For info, bookings have already started at all three projects and MHFC has already started sanctioning loans to customers on the projects. But to reiterate, buyers who are from the informal sector (those lacking salary slips or any other formal income documents) or the financially excluded (who cannot get loans from other housing finance companies easily) and who need help with financing, may contact our local Pune representative - Mr Suraj Pawar - on 8879543963 - or email him on suraj.pawar@mhfcindia.com or of course may also contact our Head Office (Mumbai) on contact@mhfcindia.com (website www.mhfcindia.com).
