The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada), Mumbai board, is planning to print as many as 10 lakh forms for its next lottery. The board is also planning to outsource the post-lottery procedure, which promises to expedite the whole process.
Mhada has published advertisements inviting tenders for the printing of the forms. Similarly, tenders for banks which will be part of the lottery process have also been invited. The last date of tender submission is November 30.
“We are also thinking about taking the outsourcing a little further. It is evident that the more we outsource, the faster will the procedure be. Hence we may even outsource the post-lottery procedure,” said Mhada chief executive officer and vice president Gautam Chatterjee.
A top Mhada official said that though the tender is for 4 to 6 lakh forms, the board has kept an option open to print more forms. “One must understand that out of the total 3,357 tenements up for sale, the maximum (2,762 houses) are for the economically weaker class. This may mean that the amount of forms sold may not reach a figure more than 6 lakh. However, we do have a provision to increase the forms up to 10 lakh,” he said.
