Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: The Delhi Development Authority's 2010 Housing Scheme offering nearly 16,000 flats in various localities in the Capital was launched on Thursday.
A large number of people visited the DDA headquarters at Vikas Sadan to purchase application forms from the Central Bank of India and the State Bank of India branches based there.
The forms are also available at most branches of IDBI Bank, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank in the city. The form is available for download from the DDA website.
Among the flats on offer are furnished flats at Vasant Kunj including 1,285 one-bedroom flats in the Rs.34-37 lakh price range, 546 two-bedroom flats costing between Rs.51 lakh and Rs. 96 lakh and 876 three-bedroom flats between Rs.1.1 crore and Rs.1.2 crore.
There are 2,311 three-bedroom flats on offer at Mukherjee Nagar, Motia Khan, Jasola Sector 9A, Dwarka Sector 18-B and Rohini Sector 29 costing between Rs.54 lakh and Rs. 81 lakh.
Only 51 two-bedroom flats are available at a price range of Rs.26-37 lakh. A total of 10,125 flats are available in the one-bedroom segment costing between Rs.10 lakh and Rs. 19 lakh of which 4,260 are located at Rohini Sector 28 and 29. There are 378 expandable flats between Rs.6 lakh and Rs.48 lakh and 666 Janata/one-room tenement flats priced between Rs.3 lakh and Rs.6 lakh.
Many people could be seen purchasing multiple sets of application booklets. A person can purchase up to 10 application forms at a time. One applicant, Anu Gupta, said she was hopeful of getting an allotment in the one or two-bedroom segments but disappointed that there were very few two-bedroom and expandable flats on offer.
Another person S. Raveendran said that while the price range for one-bedroom flats was quite suitable for him, he found their floor area insufficient for his requirements.
