NEW DELHI: The DDA today
announced its much- awaited 'Housing Scheme 2014' - offering over 25,000 flats
across various categories while scrapping the proposed plan to reserve 80 per
cent flats for the city-dwellers in it.
The new scheme offers flats ranging
from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore across categories, viz - EWS, LIG, MIG, HIG,
Janta flats and one-room apartments and would be rolled out from September 1.
"We are offering 25,034
flats in the 2014 scheme out of which 22,627 would be one-bed room apartments.
Among others, 896 flats are constructed after 2010, with green
technology," said Balvinder Kumar, Vice-chairman, DDA.
"The 'DDA
Housing Scheme 2014' would be open to applicants from September 1 and
the last date to receive the application is October 9. The draw of lots would
preferably be taken out within 20 days of the close of the scheme," a
senior DDA official said, adding, applicants can also apply online.
DDA for the first time has also
introduced a five-year lock-in period for ownership of the flats, to cut out
the middleman and reduce the scope of speculative buying.
"After five years, the DDA
will formally execute a conveyance deed in their favour," the official
said.
The registration fee for all
other categories is Rs 1 lakh, and Rs 10,000 for EWS (Economically Weaker
Section) category, the official said, adding a ceiling of Rs 1 lakh of annual
income has been prescribed for those applying under the EWS category.
The one-bedroom apartment flats
are in Dwarka, Rohini, Narela and Siraspur areas, priced above 14 lakh onwards,
depending on the location and plinth area, the DDA said.
Out of 896 newly-built flats, 512
are MIG flats and 384 Janta flats, located in Mukherjee Nagar, Narela, Rohini
and Kalyan Vihar areas. The MIG flats would range from Rs 41.30 lakh and Rs
69.90 lakh and the Janta flats - one room tenement with a kitchentte - would
cost a little over Rs 10 lakh, it said.
"The DDA had for the first
time proposed a 80-20 quota in this scheme, but that proposal which sought to
offer 80 per cent flats to Delhi residents has been scrapped, the official
added.
DDA is offering 700 flats for EWS
category, which are part of the housing complex at Swatantra Bharat Mills
premises at Rohtak Road. The flats have been developed by a private builder as
part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the DDA and the
builder.
