The highly-anticipated DDA housing scheme was launched on March 10, 2021. By the end of the application window, over 30,000 people had applied to be the scheme beneficiaries. The scheme, which was announced on January 2, 2021, provides several luxury flats and penthouses with state-of-the-art furnishing.
The lottery draw was held for 1,354 flats that were majorly meant for people belonging to the middle-income group (MIG) in Delhi. The prices of the flats that were on offer started from ₹8 Lakhs and went all the way up to ₹1.73 crore. Out of the 30,000 applications, 21,000 were paid for, of which 6,000 came from the High-Income Group and the Middle-Income Group categories.
On August 25, 2021, at 3 pm, a draw was conducted for the allotment of the DDA flats in the presence of a retired judge and two senior officers from the office of the government of India. Owing to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the last date for making interest-free payments for such homes was revised from June 29, 2021, to August 31, 2021.
One can check the DDA draw result by following the below-mentioned steps:
Step 1: Visit the DDA official website.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Online Public Service’ section.
Step 3: Click on the link that reads ‘DDA Flats Draw Result 2022’.

DDA conducts a draw every year for the allocation of homes to Delhi residents from all walks of life. It is a computerised process that happens in three stages, namely:
Randomisation of applicants and flats
Picking lucky numbers, and
Mapping of applicants to flats
Note: The lucky draw is entirely random in nature; hence, one should always be wary of people who promise assured homes in the lucky draw.
To surrender a DDA flat, one will have to fill up a ‘Cancellation Form’ either online or offline by visiting the DDA office. The applicant must submit a cancelled cheque, the original allotment letter, and the acknowledgement slip if he/she wants to get their allotment cancelled. One must note that the DDA will charge a penalty on cancellation, which will vary depending upon when the flat is being surrendered.

Once the results of the lucky draw are out, the DDA publishes them immediately on their website as well as in leading publications.
As per the rules, only the people in the waiting list can partake in DDA’s draw of surrendered flats.

Through the DDA housing scheme, the Delhi Development Authority provides homes to the residents coming from all walks of life through an online lottery.
The Delhi Development Authority cautioned the general public regarding a fake outfit that was running operations pretending to be the official call centre of the housing body. As per a statement released by the DDA dated September 19, 2019, the call centre was reaching out to unsuccessful applicants with an allotment of a flat provided they deposit the registration money into a bank account. The statement also said that no such call centre has been commissioned by the authority and the general public must be wary of individuals reaching out to them claiming that they work with the DDA.
The benefits that a beneficiary of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) can avail while participating in the DDA housing scheme are as follows:
People belonging to the EWS and LIG category can get an upfront subsidy of 6.5% p.a. on interest on a home loan of up to ₹6 Lakhs
