DDA scheme with 13K flats on offer to roll out on June 30

The Delhi Development Authority’s (DDA) 2017 housing scheme, which has 13,000 flats on offer, is all set to roll out on June 30. On Tuesday, the authority respresentatives said they were ready with the brochure details, and all other modalities have been finalised. 

“It must launch by mid-June as things seem to be in order. The scheme, which is linked to the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna, now has every logical detail in place, from brochure printing to bank partnering,” a senior official said.

Most flats on offer are in Dwarka in southwest, Rohini and Pitampura in northwest, Vasant Kunj, Jasola, and Sarita Vihar in south Delhi, Dilshad Garden in northeast, Mukherjee Nagar in north and Narela in outer Delhi. As many as 13,148 flats will be made available in all categories, with the highest number being LIG and Janta flats. Most of these flats have remained unoccupied after the 2014 scheme, while over 2,000 others are those that have been vacated by people. 

DDA has tied up with 10 banks for the sale of forms and other details. These banks include Axis, Yes, IDBI, Bank of Baroda, Central, SBI, Kotak Mahindra, HDFC, ICICI, and Canara Bank. Registration fee is Rs one lakh for the LIG category and Rs two lakh for MIG and HIGs.

The scheme, which was initially set to be launched on January 26, had been delayed due to multiple factors, including demonetisation, lack of connectivity to areas where the flats were located, and MCD elections. 

Application forms are available online, along with refund details, to prevent long queues.
