Held that— we would reiterate that since Part-B of Sector-4 of township cannot be considered as a standalone housing project since it shares common land, common facilities and common entrance with Part-A of Sector-4 of the township and since 50% of FAR/FSI of the entire housing project of Sector-4 (of Amba townshippvt.ltd.) comprising of Part-A and Part-B has not been used for construction of dwelling units with carpet area of not more than 60 sq.meters (as per the requirement in Notification No.13/06/2009 dated 30.03.2017 of the Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs), the said housing project cannot be considered as an ‘affordable housing project’.
