Muscat: The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning on Thursday hailed the social security initiatives by His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik to exempt all citizens whose total monthly income is less than RO350 from the debts of the housing loans schemes with effect from April 9, 2021.



The Ministry said in an online statement that in implementation of the Royal Initiatives, the ministry requested the concerned category to visit the nearest Directorates of Housing and Urban Planning in their governorates, bringing with them the following documents:



A recent salary certificate from the employer has been issued with a month's validity.



 The total income for craftsmen and professions according to a letter from their area's Sheikh approved by the wali.



A proof of non-work for the unemployed and retired persons.



Meanwhile, the ministry stressed that documents should be submitted within two months from the date of issuing the announcement so the Ministry could enforce the Royal Initiative.
