Government Residential schemes vs Builder provided houses?

Question

Most of the residential house/plot schemes launched by Govt state as follows:

The applicant should be an Indian citizen and competent to contract. He/she should not own any residential plot or house, in full or in part, on lease hold or free hold basis or under HPTA (Hire Purchase Tenancy Agreement), License Agreement in his name.

I want to know if I Can still apply to such schemes if i have not got any plot/house from the specific authority, but instead have purchased a apartment from a third party(e.g builder or some person who wants to sell his property).

Can you please provide any reliable links too, if possible?

Answer 1

Your ownership of an apartment from a builder or any other person willing to sell his property to you contravenes the implicit condition that you should not own any residential plot or house, in full or in part, on lease hold or free hold basis or under HPTA (Hire Purchase Tenancy Agreement), License Agreement in your name if you desire to own a property built or sold by the government.

The aim of the government is to provide houses to individuals who desperately need one at a reasonable price. If an owner of a government housing project property becomes the owner of multiple properties, purchased from the government and/or private property dealers, then the aim of the government is defeated.
