Following the direction of Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar, Saxena, Delhi Development Authority  (DDA) has issued orders for all 10 Processing Centres under PM-UDAY to remain open and functional on all seven days of the week including Saturdays and Sundays, from October 1.  “This step is aimed at expediting the processing of applications and ensuring timely delivery of ownership rights to the residents of PM-UDAY (Pradhan Mantri-Unauthorized Colonies in Delhi AwasAdhikarYojana) colonies.  The Lt. Governor has received several representations from residents of PM-UDAY Unauthorized colonies to this effect,” DDA said in a statement.

PM-UDAY Scheme is aimed at granting ownership rights to the residents of 1731 unauthorized colonies in Delhi. The primary objective of this Scheme is to provide legal recognition to residents’ properties, by conferring ownership rights. 

“By extending operations to weekends, these Centers will have increased capacity to process applications and clear pending cases, leading to faster disposal of applications. This initiative will provide enhanced opportunities for residents and especially benefit those residents of PM-UDAY colonies who face challenges in submitting documents and following up their applications during weekdays,” it said

  The DDA aims for this measure to significantly enhance accessibility to PM-UDAY centers for the residents of the 1731 unauthorized colonies covered under PM-UDAY and improve overall application-processing effectiveness and disposal of applications for issuance of Authorisation Slips/ Conveyance Deeds.
