In a major relief to thousands of displaced residents, the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board under MHADA has started accepting online applications for the allotment of permanent tenements. The opportunity is open to original tenants or their legal heirs who have been living in transit camps for years—waiting for their chance at a permanent home.
The application window closes on May 20, 2025 at 11:59 PM. Eligible applicants can register and apply through masterlist.mhada.gov.in.
This step is specifically for those who were issued vacation notices and forced to vacate their homes due to dangerous conditions or redevelopment challenges. Many of these old cess buildings could not be rebuilt due to narrow plots, land reservations, or road-widening issues, leaving families in limbo for years.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Be original tenants or legal heirs who received official vacation notices.
- Currently reside in MHADA transit camps.
- Have not been permanently allotted homes in redeveloped or reconstructed buildings by MHADA.
