Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has removed the
application forms for its new housing scheme from its official website. DDA's
website had crashed repeatedly due to a massive response to its housing scheme.
Now the online forms would be available on the sites of the authorised banks,
DDA said.
The forms for the housing scheme went on sale from
Monday.
"Application brochure/form can be collected
from the branches of the following banks. Also brochure/form can be downloaded
from the websites of these banks. Applicants can also apply online through the
websites of these banks," DDA said on its website. (Also read: DDA Housing

According to DDA, its website received a total of 11
lakh hits on the day of the launch and 18.25 lakh hits in total in the first
two days (Monday and Tuesday).
"Since, our server cannot handle the extremely
heavy online traffic, we are redirecting the services to banks. Our homepage
has a new link 'DDA
Housing Scheme 2014' lower down the website, which directs the online
users to our 13 empanelled banks and URLs," said VS Tomar, director of
systems at DDA. (Read: DDA Housing Scheme 2014 Opens: 10 Things to Know)
