MUMBAI: A dwelling unit not more than 60 square metres (645 square feet carpet area) is now officially an affordable house.
Last month, the Union ministry of finance, department of economic affairs, issued a notification that includes affordable housing as a new sub-sector within the social and commercial infrastructure category.
The notification states: "Affordable housing is defined as a housing project that uses at least 50% of the floor space index (FSI) for dwelling units with a carpet area of not more than 60 sq m."
