Get SMS alerts of lottery results for affordable houses in Mumbai

SMS alertFrom May, it will be easy to know whether you have won the lottery for affordable houses in Mumbai.

Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) is planning to send SMS alerts and emails to those who have won after minutes of the lottery draw.

Currently, the procedure is very tedious. This move will bring relief to applicants and prevent the Mhada website from crashing on the day of the lottery. Also, applicants need not visit the local lottery centre or website if they get emails or SMS alerts.

Apart from this initiative, people will also know when their applications got accepted through SMS and emails.

This is the second initiative taken by Mhada after making the online applications compulsory. Few other initiatives have also been planned and its IT cell is conducting trials so that they can be implemented for its next lottery, which is to be conducted this May where 4200 houses will be put on board.

With the increasing prices of properties in Mumbai, more and more citizens are opting for these affordable houses provided by Mhada which are sold at half the market price.

Mhada also has plans on improving the earnest money deposit (EMD) payment which will be made online so that applicants don’t need to queue up to submit it. Currently, the applicants after filling the online form, have to download the form, take a printout and submit it to the bank along with the EMD.
