Chandigarh Housing Board

What Chandigarh Housing Board does

Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) is a statutory housing authority under the Union Territory of Chandigarh Administration, established in 1976 to plan, construct, allot, and manage residential and commercial housing stock for residents of Chandigarh. It operates multiple housing schemes including Small Flats (across Sectors 49, 56, 38-W, Dhanas, Industrial Area Phase-I, Maulijagran, Maloya, Ramdarbar), Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs), Self-Financing Housing Schemes (200 Two-Bed-Room SFS 2016 in Sector 51-A, 160 flats under SFS-2010), and 628 Duplex Flats in Sector 41, serving economically weaker sections, low-income groups, and middle-to-higher-income residents of the UT. CHB also manages commercial properties, a stock of rental housing, and an e-auction pipeline for assets such as porta cabins.

The organisation runs an integrated web-based service platform anchored by its official site (chbonline.in) and e-Services Portal, with dedicated sub-portals for residential payments (payonline.chb.gov.in), commercial property allotments (commercial.chbonline.in), and RERA compliance (rera.chbonline.in). The technology stack is described as standard government IT infrastructure, with the website and portals designed, developed, and hosted by Webkraft Solutions. Procurement is conducted via the GeM (Government e-Marketplace) Portal, and an internal "zero tolerance against corruption" policy is enforced through a dedicated vigilance helpline.

CHB's revenue mechanics are a mix of one-time allotment payments, recurring monthly license fees (Small Flats, ARHCs), rental income from CHB-owned residential and commercial properties, processing fees for transfers/mutations, and proceeds from e-auctions and tenders. Pricing is set administratively under affordable-housing scheme structures rather than market-based, and the GTM motion is direct-to-citizen via draw-based allotments, the e-Services Portal, and help-desk support. Financial results are not publicly disclosed, consistent with its status as a government entity under the Chandigarh Administration rather than a private or publicly listed company.
