| Member Services |
NCHF on behalf of its member federations frequently takes up all those issues and problems which are of a uniform nature and causing concern to the cooperative housing sector, like finance, land, legal, etc. with the appropriate authorities for amicable solutions. As a result, a number of issues have been settled which have facilitated the housing cooperatives to run their activities smoothly.
NCHF also maintains proper liaison with Insurance Companies for undertaking the general insurance business of housing cooperatives. NCHF has made arrangements with the United India Insurance Company and Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company for undertaking general insurance of the properties of housing cooperatives across the country under which a uniform cover is provided to housing cooperatives at reduced premium rates against the magnitude and spread of the risk to cooperative projects. |

Accordingly, NCHF has been making arrangements for the training of Cooperators, Directors, Staff and Office bearers of apex cooperative housing federations and their housing cooperatives on technical and other aspects of cooperative housing like finance, leadership development, organization and management, low cost housing technology, accounts keeping, legal issues, computer application, general insurance etc. |
