The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on February 13 said the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has approved its previously proposed relaxations in house regulations, which allows any person having a plot measuring less than 67 square meters in the city to apply for the allotment of newly constructed flats offered by the urban body.
“The main Regulations didn’t allow any person to apply for the allotment of DDA flats, if he/she or family members were having any flat/plot irrespective of its area,” the DDA’s official statement read.
“The objective of modifications/relaxations was to enable general public to buy DDA flats without much restrictions/hassles,” the statement said.
“Any person having less than 67 sqm of flat or plot in Delhi has become eligible to apply for allotment of newly-constructed flats offered by DDA for the first time. The main regulations did not allow any person to apply for allotment of DDA flats, if he/she or family members were having any flat/plot irrespective of the area of the flat/plot,” it said.
If more than 25% flats remain unsold in any area or locality where they were offered for the first time, such a locality shall be deemed to be a “developing area”, it added.
No restriction in terms of having flats or plots of land in Delhi shall be applied to the applicants as and when such unsold flats in a developing area are offered under the subsequent housing scheme, the DDA said.
Apart from individuals, the Centre, the State government, local bodies, autonomous bodies of the Centre or the State government shall be eligible for allotment of flats, the statement said.
