Overview

The Bihar State Housing Board (BSHB) periodically launches housing schemes targeting Low Income Group (LIG), Middle Income Group (MIG) and High Income Group (HIG) beneficiaries. These schemes provide developed residential plots and ready‑to‑occupy flats equipped with essential civic amenities such as water supply, road networks, drainage, street lighting, parks and proximity to schools and healthcare facilities.

Key Features

• Land parcels and flats are developed on government‑approved layouts with clear title.
• Infrastructure includes internal roads, water pipelines, sewerage, and street lighting.
• Social amenities such as parks, playgrounds, and nearby educational institutions are integrated.
• Allotment is conducted through transparent online lotteries during active scheme windows.
• Long‑term leasehold options (typically 99 years) are available for plot holders.
