Since 1957, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has dedicated itself to the development of Delhi and fulfilling the needs of its residents. DDA looks after the matter of planning, development, construction of housing projects, commercial lands, land disposal, land costing, etc.

Delhi offers residence to more than 11 million people, and the number is still rising. To provide self-owned housing or flats to its residents, this authority has come up with the DDA housing scheme.

Wondering what DDA Housing Scheme 2022 is and how to apply for it? Read on!

As the name suggests, DDA Housing Scheme is a special scheme launched by the Delhi Development Authority that aims to provide flats at low prices to all the economic sections of the society. 

This special scheme intends to offer 18,355 flats that allottees of the previous housing scheme have returned. Under this scheme, people with a high-income bracket can purchase flats at cheaper rates.

Here, individuals belonging to the high-income group (HIG) will get 205 flats, and the middle-income group (MIG) will get 976 flats. Further, the lower-income group (LIG) will get 11,452 flats., In addition, 5,702 flats are reserved for the EWS/Janata flats category.

These flats are available in diverse locations such as Rohini, Dwarka, Jasola, Paschim Vihar, Vasant Kunj and Narela.

The price list for DDA Housing Scheme 2022 includes flats worth a minimum of ₹ 10 lakh to a maximum of ₹ 2.14 crore.

DDA offers the flats based on a draw. The DDA Housing Scheme 2022 draw for the special housing schemes introduced in 2021 is on 18th April 2022.

Flat allotments under DDA Housing Schemes occur on the basis of a computerised draw that follows the Random Number Indicated Technique. The DDA allotment procedure has the following three stages.

Randomisation of Applicants and Flats

Here, random numbers are set for each flat and applicant, which are then printed. These numbers are now called Cross Reference of Flats and Cross Reference of Applicants, respectively. Judges at first shuffle these numbers, check and provide their initials as proof of the process. 

Picking Lucky Number

In this stage, boxes with ‘0’ to ‘9’ numbered coins are used and placed before judges, which they pick up. Each box has a digit. Here, the number of boxes primarily depends on the applicants and the flat number. The starting number of flats and applicants are referred to as Lucky Number of Flats and Lucky Number of Applicants, respectively. Lucky numbers are those numbers that judges form by picking up flats and applicants from boxes.

Mapping of Applicants and Flat

Judges list these lucky numbers on paper and sign them. These are stored in a computer that maps applicants and flats to complete the allotment process.

Note: The allotment of the ground floor occurs at first as physically handicapped persons get it at the beginning.
