Delhi Development Authority’s New Approach to Property Documentation

Posted on by

However, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is making a groundbreaking shift in how it handles property documentation. Starting in September 2024, buyers will receive their flat documents in a sophisticated, customized folder. This change comes after concerns raised by Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena about the inefficiencies and issues with the current documentation process.

What’s Changing?

The DDA is upgrading its document delivery system to provide a more organized and user-friendly experience for property buyers. Previously, buyers received their possession letters on loose paper, which often led to lost or disputed documents. Now, they will receive a polished folder that includes all essential documents. The new folder will contain:

Demand-Cum-Allotment Letter (DAL)

Payment Receipt

Possession Letter (PL)

NOC for Water and Electricity

Possession Slip

RERA Registration Certificate

Layout Plan

On the other hand, this change aims to gather all necessary documents in one place, reducing the hassle of navigating various departments.

Why This Change is Significant

Addressing Document Issues: Whenever The Lieutenant Governor identified document loss and disputes as major issues. The new system is designed to mitigate these problems by consolidating documents into a single folder.

Enhancing the Buyer Experience: As a result, buying a home is a significant event. By providing a comprehensive folder, the DDA makes this milestone more special and memorable.

Improving Security: Similarly The new possession slip includes a photo of the buyer, ensuring that the possession is handed over to the correct person and reducing the risk of fraud.

Impact on Recent Housing Schemes

Additionally, The new documentation process was first rolled out with the recent housing schemes at Golf View Apartments, Sector-19B, Dwarka. The DDA has also launched several other schemes across various locations, including Narela, Dwarka, Siraspur, Ramgarh, Rohini, Loknayakpuram, and Jasola. Going forward, this improved documentation process will be the standard for all new flat possessions.

In the same way as the New Property Documentation Process & Benefits of Customized Document Folders.

In a meeting held on Tuesday, Delhi Development Authority passed its DDA budget for the year 2013-14. The budget is passed with a special focus on affordable houses. Besides the focus on the affordable houses, the budget includes special provision for the maintenance of green areas in the city.

Low-income housing or affordable houses will be boosted. However the development authority plans to develop the affordable houses in the outskirts of the city. Infrastructure projects also are likely to be boosted by the newly launched DDA budget.

DDA chairman Tejinder Khanna said that a chart will be prepared before the next meeting of the authority. The chart will include each project’s timeline and expected date of completion.

Once the chart is prepared, it will be easier for DDA to monitor the development of all projects and its delay. This will help the Authority accelerate the slow moving projects in the city. Continue reading →

Recently Disaster Management Authority conducted a survey on unsafe buildings in the National Capital. Using the survey a team of experts have focused five areas of the city where many buildings are identified as dangerous and unsafe. The team proposed to the DDA that the buildings in these areas have to be renovated or totally reconstructed.

The proposal has already been approved, though only in-principle, by an LG – headed DDA meeting. However the financial matters are to be worked out. Fatehpur Beri, Gandhi Nagar, Kondli, Lal Kuan and Lalita Park are the five areas which have been selected for the reconstruction of unsafe houses. These areas have witnessed a number of building collapses recently. Continue reading →

Commonwealth Village: Dream or Nightmare?

Posted on by

As Delhi is gearing up for the Commonwealth Games, all eyes are set on the Commonwealth Village which promises state of the art facilities specially designed to be the home for over 8000 finest athletes of the participating countries.

It’s being built next to the very famous Akshardham temple with easy access to and from south and central part of the capital. The village consists of 34 towers spread around 27 acres of land that have 1168 flats (2-5BHK) with five star amenities. It is full of plush green lawns, a swimming pool which could host competitions as well and that’s saying something, a world class health club with fully equipped gymnasium, tennis court, basketball court, kid’s crèche, play area and what not.

It was said that after the games are over the village will serve as the hostel for the students of Delhi University. The plan looks on hold as of now.

The approximate prices of the houses eyed by the real estate players are:

2 BHK (1443 sq. ft.) – Rs. 13250/- sq. ft. (Approx. Rs. 1.85 cr onwards)*
3 BHK (2092 sq. ft.) – Rs. 13250/- sq. ft. (Approx. Rs. 2.60 cr onwards)*
4 BHK (2535 sq. ft.) – Rs. 14000/- sq. ft. (Approx. Rs. 3.50 cr onwards) *
5 BHK (3278 sq. ft.) – Rs. 15000/- sq .ft. (Approx. Rs. 4.50 cr onwards)*

*Preferential Location Charges as applicable

But the candy of the eye will be the village going green. The building will be certified ‘Green’. On Saturday the Chief Minister inaugurated a 66/11 kV grid sub-station that will provide uninterrupted power supply. The Rs. 40 cr sub-station has been constructed by the power distribution company, BYPL, in a record time of 13 months.

She expressed confidence that the Commonwealth Games would prove to be a “memorable event and will be able to showcase Delhi as a developed, historical, modern and vibrant city.”

But to all this there is a flip side as well, the Environmentalists claim it’s not a smart thing to build these massive buildings on the banks of the Yamuna. They believe that the village will hamper the flow of groundwater that replenishes the seasonal river, effectively choking it which in turn will increase the shortage of water supply in the city.

Anyways amidst all this the excitement and the speed of preparation for the games the nature has been left to the mercy of gods and the babus. The city people can just sit, pray and watch.
