The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) conducted an online lottery for 426 residential units under the Development Control and Promotion Regulations 2034, with 373 applicants selected and 362 placed on a waiting list. Successful applicants are being notified through email, followed by official letters for document verification. BMC also plans another draw for 296 units across the city. This move reinforces the civic body's efforts to make affordable housing accessible to Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Low-Income Group (LIG) applicants, addressing the long-standing demand for inclusive homes in Mumbai.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation recently completed an online lottery draw for 426 homes offered under the Development Control and Promotion Regulations 2034. Out of the total units, 373 applicants were successful in securing housing, while 362 applicants were placed on a waiting list for potential future allotments.
The civic body is notifying the selected applicants through email, and official letters will follow with instructions for document verification. This verification process is mandatory to confirm eligibility and proceed with formal allotment procedures.
These units are aimed at Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Low-Income Group (LIG) categories, reflecting the city's ongoing focus on expanding affordable housing options amid rising property prices. Earlier application rounds received over 2,000 submissions, demonstrating substantial interest relative to the number of available homes.
The BMC has also announced that another lottery for 296 residential units across various locations in the city will be conducted soon. The upcoming draw will follow the same regulations and procedures, ensuring transparency and fair allocation of affordable housing.
This approach is part of BMC's broader strategy to manage housing distribution internally rather than relying solely on external housing boards, aiming to make the process more streamlined, transparent, and efficient for eligible applicants.
