The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will soon launch three housing schemes offering a variety of flats located at different places across the city catering to income groups of all categories. Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena approved the housing scheme projects, beside a new policy for management and use of Community Halls and extension of time for completing construction on the residential, commercial, industrial and institutional plots. The proposal was approved at the Authority meeting at Raj Niwas on Tuesday.
According to proposals, DDA Sasta Ghar Housing Scheme 2024 will offer lower income group (LIG) and economically weaker sections (EWS) flats at discounted rates in Ramgarh Colony, Siraspur, Loknayakpuram, Rohini, and Narela through first come first serve (FCFS) mode, making housing more accessible and enabling a common man to their own houses in Delhi. Under the scheme, around 34000 flats are to be offered, with starting price as low as approximately `11.5 lakh.
Under the General Housing scheme, flats of all categories including high income group (HIG), middle income group (MIG), LIG and EWS at different localities like Jasola, Loknayakpuram and Narela will be offered at 2023 prices without any price escalation. The starting price of flats is approximately `29 lakh and around 5400 flats are to be offered under this scheme.
DDA’s Dwarka Housing Scheme will offer MIG, HIG and higher category flats in Sector 14, 16B and 19B of Dwarka through an e-auction process. This will provide an opportunity to people to own a house in the upscale area of Dwarka.
About 173 flats are being offered under the scheme, with starting price of `128 lakh.
To provide ease of living to the residents of Delhi, the Authority has also approved a new Policy for Management and Use of Community Halls including relaxed rental structure and operationalization of ancillary facilities in Multi-Purpose Community Halls.
The Authority took an important decision whereby an Amnesty Scheme has been given nod to renewal-cum-freehold conversion of Expired Term Leases (90 years) in 23 Nazul Estates.
The scheme is proposed to be introduced, initially for a period of six months from the date of commencement.
The renewal charges are proposed to be different in case of Residential and Mixed-Land use properties and shall further vary as per the size of the plot. The charges shall increase in a progressive manner, if in case the scheme is extended beyond the initial period of six months.
Further, renewal-cum-freehold conversion applications under this scheme shall be disposed of, on payment on prevalent conversion charges, ground rent and other pending dues.
Also an Amnesty Scheme for waiver of interest component calculated on damage charges was approved. In a decision which is very relevant to the sanitation and hygiene maintenance of the city, the Authority approved the change of land use for land provided by DDA to MCD for construction of a Bio Methanization Plant at Gazipur. The Authority has approved extension of time till December 31, 2025 for completing construction on the Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Plots allotted by DDA. It will provide an opportunity to the allottees, who have deposited the premium of land, to avail the extension of time after payment of the Composition Fee, for construction activities and issuance of the Completion Certificate (CC).
