Check Out the Eligibility Criteria for DDA

The DDA has categorically stated the following eligibility criteria for the upcoming housing scheme.

  • An Indian national with an age of 18 years and above is eligible to apply for the scheme.
  • The applicant must not have any residential house/flat/plot in part or full on either a leasehold or freehold basis in his/her name, spouse or even the dependent minors anywhere in Delhi, New Delhi or Delhi Cantonment

What Shall You Do Meanwhile?

The upcoming housing scheme is still a month and a half away from the launch. So, the time is ripe to arrange the down payment required if you are looking to buy a DDA property on a loan. Let me tell you that a home loan is financed to the extent of 75%-90% of the property cost, making you pay the remaining portion.

Also, keep a firm eye on the interest rates charged by banks and choose that’s lowest of all to decrease the EMI and the overall interest outgo. Since it’s a long-term commitment, even a difference of 1%-2% in interest rate can make or break the situation for a borrower.
