There’s some sweet news for those hunting for a new home in Delhi: the DDA Housing Scheme 2024 offers a wide range of houses across different income groups, that too, at the prices of last year. Dispersed over approximately 40,000 flats, this can be your opportunity to buy an inexpensive home in the capital.
What’s on Offer?
Sasta Ghar Housing Scheme: The DDA formulated a number of schemes under its 2024 housing initiative. First among them is the Sasta Ghar Housing Scheme, which has been chalked up for the lower-income groups and economically weaker sections.
The scheme caters to almost 34,000 flats, priced from just Rs 11.5 lakh, making them affordable homes.
These affordable homes are spread across a number of locations, like Ramgarh Colony, Siraspur, Loknayakpuram, Rohini, and Narela.
As a matter of fact, there are around 5,400 units available for the MIG or HIG categories under the General Housing Scheme. These flats are in already established spots like Jasola, Lok Nayak Puram, and Narela.
The last mentioned flats go at around a starting price of Rs 29 lakh. The DDA is also offering 173 premium flats as part of a bigger initiative that offers 40,000 units.
A First-Come, First-Served Opportunity
One of the important features of this year’s DDA housing schemes is that it would be on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you act briskly, you may get a chance to book the flat of your choice without having to wait too much for lottery draws.
It is an attempt to hasten the process and provide the discerning homebuyer more leverage to be able to choose the home of their choice.
Key Dates and How to Apply
First, log on to the official DDA website to view details of the flats offered in terms of layouts, locations, and price tags.
You can apply online if you find a flat of your choice.
But the catch is that you have to pay a hefty amount as registration fee for booking your candidature.
The EWS applicants have been charged a registration amount of Rs 10,000 and LIG applicants Rs 15,000, which will be adjusted against the cost of the flat if you are allotted one. However, be prepared for the fact that it’s non-refundable if you decide to back out.
After selecting your flat and having paid the fee, you will be given 30 minutes to make your application. During this time, that flat will be temporarily reserved for you—assured that no other person can be issued with the same.
Documents and Payment Process
To apply for a flat under DDA’s Housing Scheme 2024, you will need to provide several key documents: self-attested copies of your PAN card, identity proof (passport or Aadhaar card), and proof of residence (electricity or water bill). Applicants in the EWS category must provide their income certificate.
The DDA also made payment easier for all its clients. You are now able to make an e-challan on the official DDA payment portal and complete it online through the net banking, RTGS, or NEFT.
If you’re interested, you may even apply for a housing loan through a DDA-recognized institution. Only be sure to make payment within 90 days from the receipt of the allotment or demand letter, otherwise forfeiting your reservation.
In Summary
The DDA Housing Scheme 2024 is an opportunity for the people of Delhi to own a house for different income categories.
Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option within the Sasta Ghar Housing Scheme, or you aim for something more premium within the General Housing Scheme, the first-come, first-serve allocation process means acting quickly could be the key to landing your dream home. With flats now being priced at last year’s rates, it should be the right time to invest in your future.
