The
Delhi Development Authority (DDA) received over 10 lakh applications for the
flagship ‘Housing Scheme 2014′. The much delayed housing scheme had scheduled
the tentative date for holding the draw of the lots for the new scheme on
November 10, later it was shifted to November 14. And now the DDA Draw
Result 2014 could finally take place on November 24.
The
enormous data, with a record number of 10, 08,700 applications for the scheme,
resulted in mock draws taking up nearly eight to nine hours. The scheme was
launched on September 1 and received tremendous response from people. This also
resulted in crashing of the official website on the opening day.
The
authority had said earlier blamed the bank for sending them the data late. They
said that the trial for draw was taking long time as the process needs more
time for the optimization of the abundant amount of the data. Considering
different parameters such as the huge number of applications received, number
of flats, categories resulted in the draw to take too much time for the
completion of the process. Also, the extension of dates has resulted in
considerably more number of applicants.
The
housing scheme offers over 25,000 flats across various categories, ranging from
Rs 7 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore. Although about 17 lakh brochures were sold
through DDA
counters and the branches of its various empanelled banks, officials ascribed
the “lukewarm response” to the scheme to the lock-in period and the nature of
flats on offer.The scheme offers 25,034 flats across various categories, viz. –
EWS, LIG, MIG, HIG, Janta flats and one-room apartments. The 22,627
one-bed room apartments was a major draw for the people this year.
