Housing subsidies for cultural sector representatives: regulations approved

The procedure for allocating subsidies for the purchase of housing on the basis of mortgage loans to representatives of the field of culture, art and literature has been established in Uzbekistan. In this case, the subsidy is provided for the purchase of an apartment from the primary housing market. By government decision, the regulation "On the procedure for allocating subsidies for the purchase of housing on the basis of mortgage loans to representatives of the fields of culture, art and literature" was approved.

 

According to it, the subsidy is allocated within the framework of mortgage loans refinanced by the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The funds are directed toward the purchase of an apartment built in the area where the applicant's main place of work is located.

 

To receive the subsidy, an application may be submitted through Public Service Centers or the Unified Interactive Public Services Portal (my.gov.uz).

 

The combined incomes of the applicant and his/her spouse, the absence of residential property registered in their name in all regions of the republic over the last two years, as well as work experience in the field are automatically verified through information systems.

 

In addition, the applicant is required to have at least three years of work experience in the fields of culture, art and literature. In cases where a license is required to carry out the activity, it is also verified that he/she has held a license within the last three years. The subsidy is allocated to one family only once.

 

An applicant who has received notification of the subsidy concludes a contract with a construction organization or developer for the purchase of an apartment from the primary housing market.

 

If the subsidy allocated to cover part of the initial down payment is not used within 30 days from the date of its transfer, the bank returns the funds to the republican budget of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
