Synopsis The housing sector in India is governed by hundreds of laws, most of which have been enacted several decades ago. In the present era of deregulation, corporate sector participation and community involvement, most of these laws have come under serious scrutiny. This book provides many insights into the myriad laws related to housing in India and highlights the problems, issues and in some cases, possible solutions. This book aims to provide a capsule on housing legislation in India, perhaps for the very first time. The presentation in this book is simple and succinct, keeping technical jargon to the minimum. This book is of great value to the academics as well as the practicing professionals, the administrators, the law makers, housing finance institutions, corporate developers, students of housing and urban affairs and the millions of Indian citizens.
