The Pune Housing and Area Development Board, a regional unit of MHADA, has recently opened the registration and application process for the sale of 6,294 housing units. These units are spread across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Solapur, Kolhapur, and Sangli districts, including locations under the jurisdiction of the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA).
The Pune Board's lottery is organised into five segments. A total of 2,340 units are available under the first-come, first-served (FCFS) scheme, which allows for immediate allotment. Additionally, 93 units fall under the MHADA housing scheme, while 418 units are offered through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), also accessible under the FCFS scheme. Furthermore, 3,312 units are part of the 20% comprehensive housing scheme, which covers areas within Pune Municipal Corporation, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, and PMRDA. Lastly, 131 units are allocated under the 15% social housing scheme. The online lottery for these units is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks.
Shivajirao Adhalrao Patil from the Pune Board stated that the government is actively working to expand affordable housing through upcoming projects in areas like Alandi and Shirur, where land has already been acquired. He also mentioned that the redevelopment of old MHADA colonies in Pune would provide further housing options.
Starting earlier this week, applicants can now register and submit their applications online. The registration and application process will remain open until next month, with submissions closing in the evening. Applicants can make their EMD payments up until the night of the closing date. The provisional list of eligible applicants will be published later in the coming weeks on MHADA's official website. Applicants will have a few days after the list is released to submit any objections or claims. The final list of eligible participants will be published shortly after that.
To sum up, the Pune Housing and Area Development Board's offering of 6,294 housing units across various districts is a notable effort to enhance affordable housing options in the region. With different schemes catering to various income groups, including immediate allotments, the initiative aims to meet the diverse housing demands of the population. Moreover, the government's plans to extend affordable housing to areas like Alandi and Shirur, coupled with the redevelopment of MHADA colonies, further demonstrate its dedication to improving housing accessibility in Pune and nearby areas.
