Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) board sets July 10 to take part in lottery for houses

Till 6pm on June 24, the Mumbai Board received 80,578 applications while 55,874 applicants made the deposit payment confirming their participation in the lottery draw. In the previous lottery draw held by Mumbai Board, it had received over a lakh applications from interested homebuyers. However, this time despite having over 4,000 houses, the housing authority has received less participation so far. Therefore, the authority has extended the time for participation in the lottery. It is also the first time that MHADA has adopted a complete online procedure for lottery application eliminating human interference in the system.

According to the officials of MHADA Mumbai Board, interested homebuyers can make online submission of their application till 6pm on July 10 and can make online deposit payment by 11:59pm as per the revised timeline. Whereas on July 17, the board will disclose the list of names of applicants on its website https://housing. mhada. gov.in and till 3pm on July 19, suggestions and objections can be filed, if any. Thereafter on July 24, the final list will be disclosed of lottery participants. However, the lottery draw date and time will be disclosed later by MHADA. Previous lottery draw was to be held on July 18.

In the 4,072 houses called for lottery this time, houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme have also been included. The cost of the houses have been fixed after deducting a subsidy of Rs 2.5 lakh. Houses under various other redevelopment schemes of MHADA are also part of the lottery.

The lottery houses are available in Pahadi-Goregaon West, Antop Hill, Kannamwar Nagar, Lokmanya Nagar-Dadar, Antop Hill-Wadala, Siddharth Nagar-Goregaon West, D N Nagar-Andheri West, etc.
