DDA receives central approval for revised housing regulations

According to the DDA, anyone with a flat or a plot of land measuring less than 67 square metres in Delhi is now eligible to apply for the first time for the allotment of newly-constructed flats.

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) announced in a statement that the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has "approved modifications/relaxations" proposed by the DDA in the Housing Regulations, 1968, issued under Section 57 of the DDA Act, 1957. It did not specify when the modifications or relaxations were approved by the central ministry.

"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.

The waitlisted applicants will be assigned the surrendered or cancelled flats via a mini-draw, according to the statement.

If more than 25 per cent 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.

The DDA stated that no restriction on having flats or plots of land in Delhi will be imposed on applicants as and when such unsold flats in a developing area are offered under the subsequent housing scheme.

Apart from individuals, the statement stated that the Centre, the state government, local bodies, autonomous bodies of the Centre or the state government will be eligible for flat allocation.

Apart from the disposal of flats through the launch of the regular housing scheme, the unsold flats in the developing areas may be offered online on a "first-come-first-serve" basis under the relaxed norms, it said.

"The above modifications/relaxations on the one hand will enable those individuals to buy DDA flats who were not eligible due to having land/flat in Delhi either in his/her own name or in the name of his/her family members. On the other hand, it will adequately generate demand for DDA flats," the statement said.
