DDA's dream home draw results
DDA’s dream home draw results to be out today
New Delhi: The fate of 5.67 lakh applicants, all hoping to win the opportunity to own a DDA flat, will be decided on Tuesday. The draw of lots for the 5,010 flats up for grabs will be held at noon.
In an attempt at transparency, the computerized random draw of lots will be carried out before a jury comprising senior bureaucrats, professors from IIT and experts from the media. The results will be available on the DDA website from 3 pm onwards and the results will also be published in some newspapers.
In a mad rush to own a home, the DDA offer of 5010 flats had attracted over 7.5 lakh buyers of application forms. About 5.67 lakh forms came back to DDA at the final count. Further, not too many forms were rejected after scrutiny.
Out of the 5,010 flats, 352 are three-bedroom units, 889 are two-bedroom ones, 3,231 are one bedroom flats, while 286 are expandable. In space-starved Delhi and amidst skyrocketing property prices, these flats will be available in areas like Vasant Kunj, Rohini, Dilshad Garden, Paschim Vihar, Motia Khan, Dwarka and Pitampura.
At a time when property prices and escalating EMIs have made the dream of owning a house in the Capital a distant one, these flats would cost anything between Rs 7.2 lakh and Rs 77 lakh.
According to DDA, 60% of these flats are new constructions. The rest include flats that were either allotted to the government and have now been vacated or the ones which have been surrendered owning to non-payment by the allottee. There are also those which were under construction for some time.
DDA Housing Scheme 2008 is the 43rd such scheme by the authority. The first housing scheme was launched by DDA in 1968. Then it was an open ended general scheme where the applicants were registered and as and when the flats were available, the DDA alloted them through a manual draw of lots. This general pattern continued till 1999 when the first one time scheme was launched wherein one time allotments were done and the unsuccessful registrants were returned their deposit.
According to senior DDA officials in the housing department, the general scheme was discontinued as it was creating a backlog of pending registrants who were awaiting allotment for long. Since 1999, DDA has been following the first one time allotment scheme. DDA has allotted 3,71,215 flats in all categories under the 42 schemes launched till 2007.
