The Delhi government has fixed October 31, 2026, as the final date for residents of 1,511 unauthorised colonies to apply for conveyance deeds and authorisation slips under the Pradhan Mantri Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana (PM-UDAY). The decision follows a lower-than-expected response since the application process resumed earlier this year, with only around 2,000 applications received. The deadline is intended to encourage eligible property owners to complete the regularisation process and secure legal ownership documents required for property registration. The Revenue Department has also established dedicated PM-UDAY Cells across all district magistrate offices to facilitate applications and document issuance.
The Delhi government has prescribed October 31, 2026, as the cut-off date for property owners in 1,511 unauthorised colonies to submit applications for conveyance deeds and authorisation slips under the Pradhan Mantri Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana (PM-UDAY). The Revenue Department announced the deadline in the past week after receiving a limited number of applications since the revised regularisation process began earlier this year. Officials said no fresh applications would be accepted after the deadline.
According to the department, the conveyance deeds are issued for built-up properties situated on government land, while authorisation slips apply to properties located on private land within the notified unauthorised colonies. These documents are essential for obtaining regularisation certificates from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), enabling owners to complete the legal registration of their properties.
The decision comes after the Revenue Department recorded only around 2,000 applications from residents despite the scheme covering 1,511 unauthorised colonies across the National Capital. Officials said the introduction of a fixed deadline is expected to encourage greater participation from eligible property owners who have yet to complete the regularisation process. A senior government official indicated that some residents remain hesitant because of infrastructure deficiencies in these colonies and limited willingness among banks to extend loans even for registered properties.
The latest application window follows changes introduced by the Centre earlier this year, when it approved the regularisation of 1,511 unauthorised colonies on an "as-is, where-is" basis without requiring approved layout plans. The revised framework allows eligible residents to seek ownership rights and complete property documentation through a simplified procedure. The application process under the updated system commenced in April after the responsibility for implementing the scheme was transferred to the Delhi government's Revenue Department.
To support implementation, the Revenue Department has established PM-UDAY Cells in every district magistrate's office to process applications and issue conveyance deeds and authorisation slips. Properties in unauthorised colonies are subsequently registered through sub-registrar offices based on these documents. The department has also integrated the application process with the MCD's Swagam portal to streamline submissions and reduce procedural delays.
The PM-UDAY scheme, launched in 2019, aims to confer ownership and transfer rights on eligible residents living in unauthorised colonies in Delhi. By securing conveyance deeds or authorisation slips, property owners can register their assets, undertake lawful property transactions, obtain institutional finance against their properties and seek approval for building plans under the applicable regulations.
