DDA Housing Scheme 2010 draw on 18 April

Trusted sources have confirmed that Delhi Development Authority (DDA) Housing Scheme 2010 draw would held on 18 April behind the closed doors where no outsider will be allowed. While the draw is taking place inside, a big screen TV would be placed outside for the applicants who want to keep an eye on the proceedings. Unlike its previous housing scheme, the draw will not take place at Vikas Sadan this time which is the head quarter of DDA, however the location has been changed to CDAC, located in Noida where all the activities will take place.

An DDA official who didn't wish to be named said, "We are trying bring in as much transparency as we can and overcome the difficulties we had in the housing scheme of 2008".

On the contrary, things do not look going their way as things have not gone as promised by DDA so far. A senior DDA official confirmed couple of months back that DDA would be publishing the name of eligible candidates (around 7 Lakhs) on its website and in major newspapers. Applicants could check the status of their forms on the DDA site but for couple of days only, those who could not check it during those days are now struggling to confirm their eligibility where as there was list of applicants to be seen in the newspapers.

The result of the computerized draw will be published on the DDA website, while letters will be dispatched to the allottees through speed post. The allottees would have to make the payment of the allotted flat within 90 days from the date of issue of demand letter without interest, if there is any delay, 15% interest would also have to be incurred by the allottees within 180 days. Failure to the payment in the mentioned time will mean that the allotment stands cancelled. Allotment would be transferred to the applicants from the waiting list which would be of 600 candidates.
