The much-delayed draw for the
Delhi Development Authority’s (DDA) housing scheme 2014 could finally take
place on Monday, November 24.
The Delhi Development Authority
had initially announced the tentative day for holding the draw as November 5
but it was postponed to November 17.
Earlier, the Delhi Development
Authority had failed to hold the draw on November 17 too after its trial runs
were not found successful in wrapping up the whole process within two hours.
The enormous data, with a record
number of 10,08,700 applications for the scheme, resulted in mock draws taking
up nearly eight to nine hours.
“We have finally managed to
complete the process within two hours. We will hold a demonstration on Saturday
and the draw is most likely to be held on November 24,” said a senior DDA
official who did not wish to be identified.
“The number of applications
received, number of flats, categories and different parameters are resulting in
the cycle of draw taking too much time to complete,” the official said.
“The banks also sent us the application
data very late because of which we did not get much time to prepare for the
draw and the whole process was delayed,” he added.
“We have been working 24x7 to ‘tune’
the database so that the process of DDA Draw Result 2014 can be held within
two hours,” he said.
The Delhi Development Authority
had earlier said that the trial for the draw was taking inordinately long and
the process needed more time for optimization of data.
It had also called in technical
experts to check the process and give their opinion so that during the final
draw, there are no technical problems.
The Delhi Development Authority’s
DDA housing
scheme 2014 is the land development agency’s biggest scheme ever with
25,034 flats on offer. The scheme was launched on September 1 and closed on
October 15, after an extension.
While initially, the Delhi
Development Authority had not received many applications, the extension of the
date resulted in the number of applications touching a record high.
