(a) a house accommodation scheme with special emphasis for the scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other economically backward classes;
(b) a rebuilding scheme;
(c) a rehousing or rehabilitation scheme;

The Rajasthan Housing Board Act, 1969, was enacted to address housing needs in the state of Rajasthan. Section 27 specifically deals with the prohibition of new constructions or modifications in areas designated for proposed housing schemes, aiming to regulate urban development and ensure orderly planning.
Section 27 imposes a ban on new constructions, additions, or alterations within areas that have been earmarked for proposed housing schemes by the Rajasthan Housing Board. This ban is effective as soon as the Board frames and decides on a housing scheme.
The scope of Section 27 is broad, covering all forms of construction activities, including new buildings, extensions, and alterations within the specified areas. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of planned housing developments and preventing unauthorized constructions that could disrupt urban planning.
While the specific penalties for contravening Section 27 are not detailed in the section itself, it is implied that violations may lead to penalties as outlined in other sections of the Act, such as Section 55, which deals with penalties for contraventions of bye-laws.

(a) the acquisition by purchase, exchange or otherwise of any property necessary for or affected by the execution of the scheme;
(b) the laying or re-laying out of any land comprised in the scheme;
(c) the distribution or redistribution of site belonging to owners of property comprised in the scheme;
(d) the closure or demolition of dwellings or portions of dwellings unfit for human habitation;
(e) the demolition of obstructive buildings or portions of buildings;
(f) the construction and reconstruction

(2) Where a budget is returned to the Board by the State Government for making any modifications therein, the Board shall forthwith make such modifications and submit the budget as so modified to the State Government, which may then approve it.
The Chairman may, at any time during the year for which a budget has been approved by the State Government, lay before the Board a supplementary budget and the provisions of sections 28, 29, 30 and 31 shall apply to such supplementary budget.
After the budget is approved by the State Government, the Board shall cause the housing schemes, in respect of which, provision is made in the budget, to be published in the Official Gazette if 1[and in such other manner] as may be prescribed and proceed to execute the schemes.
