A DDA housing scheme is a sale of flats by the Delhi Development Authority, and in 2025–26 almost all of them run online on eservices.dda.org.in (the DDA Awaas portal) on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis, not by lottery. You pay a one-time ₹2,500 registration fee, pick a flat online and pay a booking amount to reserve it. The latest offer, the Awas Nivesh Yojana 2026, opened in October 2026 with LIG flats in Narela at about ₹15 lakh after a 25% discount. This guide covers recent schemes, prices, eligibility, applying, payment and freehold.

The second lot opened on 29 October 2026. Schemes are often extended or topped up, so check the current status on dda.gov.in under Housing.

Who can apply

Any Indian citizen aged 18 or above who can enter into a contract can apply in recent FCFS schemes.
You need a PAN card, a mobile number and a bank account for payments and refunds.
Some schemes are for a defined group. The Karmajeevi Awaas Yojana 2026, for example, was aimed at serving and retired government employees and working professionals, who upload proof of employment or qualification at booking.
Rules on owning other property in Delhi, income limits for EWS flats and the number of flats one person may book differ by scheme. Older DDA schemes barred people who already owned a home in Delhi, while the 2025 premium e-auction scheme allowed them. Read the brochure of the scheme you apply in.
Reserved quotas apply where the brochure says so.

How to apply on the DDA Awaas portal

Open eservices.dda.org.in by typing the address yourself, or go there from dda.gov.in.
Download the scheme brochure and read the flat list, prices and terms.
Register with your PAN, mobile number and other details asked for, and pay the ₹2,500 registration fee online. Skip this if you are already registered.
When booking opens (usually at 12 noon on the announced date), log in and select the scheme.
Choose your flat by locality, category, tower and floor from those still available.
Pay the booking amount online within the time allowed. The flat is held for you only once the payment succeeds.
Download the demand-cum-allotment letter, which DDA usually issues within about a day of booking.

Booking amounts in 2026 schemes were ₹50,000 for EWS and 1 BHK, ₹1,00,000 for LIG, ₹4,00,000 for MIG and 2 BHK, and ₹10,00,000 for HIG and 3 BHK. The booking amount is adjusted in the final price but is generally forfeited if you do not complete payment.

Payment, possession and documents

Balance payment: the demand letter states the amount and time limit, commonly 60 days, with a short extension on interest in some schemes. Miss it and the allotment can be cancelled.
Home loan: banks lend on DDA flats against the demand letter. See our home loan guide and EMI calculator.
Documents: PAN, ID and address proof, photo, bank details, loan sanction letter if any, and category certificates where needed.
Extra charges: GST where applicable, maintenance, water connection and conversion charges are demanded separately.
Possession: after full payment and documents, DDA issues the possession letter. If you pay in full but do not complete the formalities within the time set, watch and ward charges may apply.

Leasehold, freehold and the conveyance deed

Many recent DDA flats, such as those in the Karmajeevi scheme, are offered on a freehold basis. After full payment and possession, a conveyance deed is executed in the allottee’s name and registered at the sub-registrar office, with stamp duty paid by the buyer. See stamp duty in Delhi.

Owners of older leasehold DDA flats can apply online to convert them to freehold. You register on DDA’s conversion service, upload documents such as the allotment and possession letters, lease deed, affidavit and indemnity bond, pay the conversion charges for your flat category and zone, and track the application. After approval, the conveyance deed is stamped and registered. Charges and forms change, so check them on dda.gov.in.

Beware of fake DDA websites and touts

Apply only on eservices.dda.org.in and read notices on dda.gov.in. DDA has publicly warned against fake websites using its name.
Allotment in FCFS schemes depends only on who books first online. No one can “reserve” a flat for you for a fee.
Pay only through the portal’s payment gateway. Never send money to a personal bank account or UPI ID.
