The reservation of SC/ST is provided at prescribed rate in the flats offered in each housing scheme launched from time to time. The flats, that were earmarked/reserved for SC/ST categories but remained unallotted due to inadequate number of applicants of those categories, stood allotted to the applicants of unreserved category of the respective Housing Scheme. DDA has further informed that 44,865 flats were allotted to the applicants who applied under SC/ST Category.
