"In comparison, only about 40 per cent of Chinese first-timer applicants were invited to select a flat because of the Chinese EIP limit."
"Further, the EIP applies not just at the point of purchase of flats at HDB’s sales exercises, but also at point of resale. This ensures that no ethnic group is excluded from any public housing neighbourhood, even over time." It noted that there are measures implemented by HDB to help EIP-constrained flat owners, such as giving them more time to sell their existing flat if they have purchased another one and waiving the EIP limits in"exceptional circumstances".Called the EIP Buyback Assistance Scheme, it provides flat owners who are genuinely constrained by EIP limits with the fallback option of selling their flats to HDB at a fair price, based on prevailing market conditions.
