DDA holds successful trial runs of the draw
The applicants of the Delhi Development Authority’s
Housing Scheme, 2014 will have to wait some more time for the draw of
lots, which was earlier tentatively scheduled for Monday.
The
DDA on Monday held successful trial runs of the draw and they will
continue “as an effort is being made to compress the time being taken
for the draw”.
Meanwhile, the uncertainty over the
date of the draw also continues. It is not likely to happen on November
12, which was the tentative date, as the DDA gave another chance to
applicants to get corrections made in their forms.
This time around, the applicants can directly report the corrections to the director (systems) DDA.
“…initially
the data was taking more time for the draw and now it is being reduced
to the minimum possible. Secondly, the data received from Punjab
National Bank, one of the designated banks, is incomplete and
corrections are still being received from the banks,” the DDA said.
“Considering
this scenario, it has been decided to give/provide another opportunity
to the applicants by the DDA so that they can check discrepancies in
application filed by them and the data displayed on its website and
report the same directly to the director (systems) at 24694157 for
corrections. The applicants can check the data on November 11 and 12 and
report the same to director (systems). This has been necessitated as
till date corrections are being received and data from Punjab National
Bank is still incomplete,” the civic body said.
This
is a step taken by the land agency among other measures to make the
process of applying in the scheme easy. The DDA has also made
arrangements for the applicants to see the draw of lots live on YouTube.
The
agency has received a total of 10,08,700 applications for the scheme,
which is offering 25,034 flats making it the biggest housing scheme
launched by the DDA till date.
