New Delhi: As per Economic Survey 2013, delay in project-clearances is one of the main reasons which cause the hike of property prices. The survey had suggested the government to look into the matter and take out suitable steps. This might have prompted housing ministry to move in that way.

The builders had claimed that they had to spend a lot of money for preserving their land and properties during the period taken for approval.
