It has come to the notice of the government that 285 out of 2,832 Indiramma houses are being constructed by beneficiaries on plot sizes measuring above 600 sq ft.

Keeping this in view, Telangana Housing Corporation Limited (TGHCL) has recently written to all district collectors to inquire into the eligibility (BPL) status of these 285 beneficiaries.

Sources said that even after clear instructions from the government and the housing corporation to the field level officials to ensure that the houses are constructed within the minimum 100-500 sq ft area, some of the beneficiaries are found violating the rules.
