The Ministry of Construction submitted a dossier to appraise the Decree amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 100/2024/ND-CP dated July 26, 2024 of the Government detailing a number of articles of the Housing Law on the development and management of social housing.
One of the notable points stipulated in Article 30 on income conditions is as follows:
For subjects specified in Clauses 5, 6 and 8, Article 76 of the Housing Law, the following income conditions must be ensured:
In case the petitioner is unmarried or confirmed single, the average monthly income actually received shall not exceed 20 million VND according to the Salary and Salary Table confirmed by the agency, unit, or enterprise where the subject works.
In case the subject is unmarried or confirmed to be single and raising a minor child, the actual average monthly income received shall not exceed 30 million VND as calculated in the Salary Table, confirmed by the agency, unit, or enterprise where the subject works.
In case the plaintiff is married according to the provisions of law, the plaintiff and his/her husband (husband) with a total average monthly income shall receive no more than 40 million VND in salary according to the Salary and Salary Table confirmed by the agency, unit, or enterprise where the subject works.
The time to determine income conditions as prescribed in Point a, Point b of this Clause is within 12 consecutive months, calculated from the time the competent authority implements the confirmation.
Thus, according to the new draft, in the case of a petitioner who is not married or confirmed to be single and raising a child under the age of majority (for example, a single mother), the actual average monthly income of no more than 30 million VND will be considered for social housing purchase.
