Wait over: DDA draw underway

Date:

New Delhi: The fate of over 10 lakh applicants of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) Housing Scheme 2014 will be decided on Tuesday. The DDA Housing Scheme 2014 offers over 25,000 flats across various categories, ranging from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore.
 

The draw is being held in two stages. In the first phase, called randomisation process, the applicants form numbers and the flat numbers were assigned random numbers. This process started around 9 am and was completed in around 1 hour 50 minutes, DDA said.

The final process of draw of lots (picking of lucky numbers and the mapping of applicants and the flats) started at around 12 noon and is likely to be completed in less than two hours. An expert panel consisting of former Delhi High Court Justice Manju Goel, Mahesh Chandra of National Informatics Centre and Delhi IIT professor A Kumar are the judges for the draw process.
 

Launched on September 1, the housing scheme drew a strong response. DDA received over 10 lakh applications for the flagship ‘Housing Scheme 2014 and about 17 lakh application forms were sold. The last date for the scheme was October 9 initially but was extended till October 15. In other words, there are 40 applicants for each flat on offer.

The housing authority has been conducting dry runs since November 10 to check its preparedness. DDA had decided to hold the draw on November 5 but later postponed it to November 17. Technical glitches also forced DDA to postpone the draw further.
 

DDA will refund the registration fee (Rs 1 lakh) to unsuccessful applicants who had paid on their own through the bank branch wherein they had deposited the application form. The bank will dispatch refund cheques to the applicants.

Successful applicants have the option to surrender the flat before the issue of possession letter from the DDA. Allotment will be automatically cancelled in case the payment is not made within the prescribed period. And the amount deposited will be get refunded without interest.
