DDA plans to increase size of existing LIG flats

The proposed solution would require statutory clearances for which the DDA will take urgent action.

20,000 applications for DDA’s housing scheme

The 2017 housing scheme, which offers 12,000 flats for four income categories, was launched on June 30.

Earlier, according to the rules of the scheme, there was a penalty of 25 per cent if buyers surrendered the house after allotment.

Meagre applications also cause of rate corrections in realty sector.

The urban body has tied up with 10 banks for sale of application forms and scheme-related transactions.

Members will be able to make down payment and pay EMIs from their EPF accounts to buy homes.
