Delhi: Last chance to go for 18,335 flats on offer under special DDA scheme

NEW DELHI: If you want to apply for a flat under Delhi Development Authority (DDA) ‘Special’
Housing Scheme, Monday is your last chance. Sources, however, said that the last date might
be extended.
The authority had launched the scheme on December 24, 2021, with 18,335 flats on offer. Of
these, 11,452 were one-bedroom flats in the lower income group (LIG) category, with cost
ranging between Rs 14.1 lakh and Rs 41.1 lakh. More than 8,000 of these flats are in Narela,
while the rest are located in Rohini, Dwarka, Siraspur, Ramgarh, Lok Nayak Puram, etc.
The last date to apply for the scheme is Monday. The registration amount is Rs 25,000 for EWS
flats, Rs 1 lakh for LIG flats, and Rs 2 lakh for MIG and HIG flats

The total number of applications received for the scheme till Sunday wasn’t readily available.
However, senior DDA officials said an assessment of the number of applications will be done on
Monday and the last date will be extended if a need is felt to provide more time to applicants.
One can apply for the scheme through the DDA website.
The flats offered under the scheme are those that remained unsold in previous housing
schemes and DDA is offering them at the old rates through relaxation of its costing policy. The
entire process from application to allotment and possession is being done online. The allottee
will have to visit the DDA office only for execution of conveyance deed.
DDA had launched a housing scheme earlier in 2021 with 1,354 flats. The flats under the
special scheme are those that were returned in its previous housing schemes in 2014, 2017,
2019 and 2021. There are many DDA flats at different stages of construction, including premium
three-bedroom flats and penthouses in Dwarka, but these would be offered in later housing
schemes, an official said.
DDA officials said that its flats at Narela sub-city have been offered after taking several remedial
measures like improvement of infrastructure, security and connectivity on the basis of
suggestions, and feedback of allottees and residents of the area.
