Nearly 2,417 mill workers who were allotted homes at Kon in Panvel have received relief after the government decided to waive their service charges for three years.
The service charges for the period from April 2024 to March 2027, amounting to around ₹11.95 crore, will be waived, according to the report.
The decision is expected to ease the financial burden on mill workers who had already paid the full cost of their allotted homes but were facing additional service-charge demands.
The Kon-Panvel housing project is part of the government’s efforts to provide homes to former Mumbai mill workers and their families through housing schemes. MHADA continues to handle various aspects of the mill workers’ housing process.
The waiver is expected to provide significant financial relief to the affected beneficiaries, many of whom have been waiting for affordable housing for years.
