People owing a small share in a joint property can’t apply for housing scheme
Even if you own a small share in a joint property in Delhi, you would not be eligible to apply for a flat in the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) latest housing scheme 2014. According to the DDA’s housing regulations, an applicant must not own any residential flat or plot in full or in part in Delhi, New Delhi or Delhi Cantonment area in his or her name or in the name of their spouse or dependent children.
The DDA had earlier announced in a press meet that those who had a share in a joint property in Delhi less than 66 square metres would be eligible to apply for the housing scheme. However, senior DDA officials now say anybody who jointly owns a property in Delhi, even if the share is less than 66 square metres; will not be eligible to apply.
This decision has been taken by the DDA authorities only to ensure that the people who would get the flats would be only the ones who do not own a house in the region of Delhi yet. This scheme is being done only to ensure houses to people not having one before.
