DDA housing scheme receives over 500 bookings on first day

The booking amount varies depending on the size and category of the flat. The booking fee for a 1BHK EWS flat is Rs 50,000 and for a 1BHK LIG flat, it is Rs 1 lakh. Similarly, the booking amount for a 2BHK MIG flat is Rs 4 lakh and Rs 10 lakh for a 3BHK HIG flat.

The website faced heavy traffic, and reached more than 11 lakh hits since the bookings opened, officials said. Since people faced difficulties accessing the website, the DDA is increasing the capacity of their servers to handle traffic, officials added.

The fourth phase of the FCFS scheme was launched by the DDA on June 30 by announcing the intention to sell over 5,600 flats across Narela, Jasola, Loknayak Puram, Rohini, Dwarka and Siraspur.

The flats were divided into categories based on income groups and their prices were set accordingly.

The 3BHK flats in Jasola have been priced the highest, at Rs 2.08-2.18 crore whereas the 1BHK EWS flats in Narela are priced the lowest, at Rs 9.89 lakh. According to the scheme, applicants will have only a window of 90 days to deposit the entire sum.

After the first 60 days, an interest rate of 11% per annum will be charged. If an applicant is unable to pay within 90 days of allotment, the purchase will stand cancelled.
