After successfully launching the housing project in 2017, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has now announced the mega sale of 21000 flats in June 2018 courtesy its housing scheme. Interestingly, the new scheme is getting launched after a year, much unlike the previous one which happened after 3 years.

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.
