Launched on March 25, the DDA Housing Scheme 2019 offers nearly as many as 17,922 flats across four categories - that are HIG, MIG, LIG and EWS. The number flats available in four categories are - 488 (HIG), 1,555 (MIG), 8,383 (LIG) and 7,496 (EWS). All the flats have been newly built in Delhi's Vasant Kunj and Narela residential areas.

While people from the economic weaker section (EWS) category had to pay Rs 25,000 for the DDA application form, the amount fixed for the LIG and MIG category were Rs 1 lakh and Rs 2 lakh respectively. The application fee for HIG flats was the same as MIG category.

In the view of poor response from applicants to the bulk of flats being located in Narela, the DDA has also approved a proposal to reduce the cost of EWS flats in the area, "by up to 40 per cent of the construction cost".

The modified rates would apply to allottees of the current scheme. In case of leftover flats, it would be re-advertised soon at reduced rates. This will make these flats available at concessional rates to the economically weaker section.

Following the draw of lots for the scheme, the authority is expected to start allotting the flats from late July. Under the scheme, the DDA had also facilitated shuttle bus service from Jahangirpuri Metro Station to Narela every Saturday, Sunday and on public holidays. However, these arrangements were valid until the scheme was operational.
