The full process—including online application submission, earnest money deposit, application fee payment, and flat/scheme allotment—will begin on March 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM.

This opportunity covers flats that remained unsold from previous lotteries due to various reasons. MHADA is urging eligible citizens to register promptly on the website to grab this chance.

  3. Select and allot a flat (one per earnest money deposit).
  4. Pay 10% of the flat’s sale price within 48 hours of allotment via NEFT/RTGS/Net Banking/UPI/Debit or Credit Card. Failure to do so cancels the claim, and earnest money is forfeited.
  5. Receive a provisional allotment letter.
  6. Pay the remaining amount within 90 days (extendable with interest). Non-payment leads to cancellation.
  7. Upload Pre-Sanctioned Letter from a bank if seeking a home loan for No Objection Certificate.
