A lottery will be held in March by the Mumbai Housing and Area Development Board (MHADB) to sell about 4,000 dwellings.

The housing department's representatives presented the specifics of the lottery draw on Friday. About 2,200 residences will make up the Pahadi neighbourhood of Goregaon West on the Link Road, and the remaining units will be spread out among Powai, Sion, Borivali, etc.

All four income tiers—Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Low Income Group (LIG), Middle Income Group (MIG), and High Income Group—will have access to the residences (HIG).

60% of 4,000 homes for economically weak and low income section

Sixty percent of the 4,000 homes that will be sold will fall into the EWS and LIG categories. The MIG and HIG will receive the remaining 40%.

The cost of the apartments in the EWS and LIG groups will be approximately ₹ 35 lakh and ₹ 45 lakh. Prices for MIG and HIG apartments have not yet been determined.

The sale of homes offered by private developers is expected to experience a temporary snag as a result of the lottery.

The applicant must present all required paperwork when applying for the residence, unlike in the past. A programme has been created to screen out applications that are ineligible and provide a final list of candidates. In the past, such documentation happened after the lottery results were made public.

After winning the lottery, the home winners must take possession of the flat and make the payment within 30-45 days. Earlier, it used to take at least 4-5 months to complete the payment and possession processes.

INCOME GROUP CLASSIFICATION

Economically Weaker Section: Up to ₹ 6 lakh per annum
