The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has announced the launch of the DDA Housing Scheme 2026, titled “DDA Towering Heights at East Delhi Hub, Karkardooma”, offering two-BHK flats in East Delhi on a First Come First Serve (FCFS) basis. The scheme is open to individual homebuyers as well as government institutions for bulk allotment.

According to the announcement, the registration for the DDA Housing Scheme 2026 will open on January 8, 2026, via the DDA Awaas Portal (https://eservices.dda.org.in). Flat booking under the FCFS mode will also start on January 23, 2026, the day of Basant Panchami.

Under the retail category, the DDA will offer 741 Two-BHK flats at Karkardooma, East Delhi. Allotment will be carried out strictly on an FCFS basis, subject to eligibility and acceptance of scheme conditions.

Applicants must pay a one-time registration fee of Rs 2,500 to register on the Awaas Portal. Those already registered are exempt from paying the fee again. The booking amount has been fixed at Rs 4 lakh per flat, which is non-refundable but adjustable against the final disposal price upon successful booking. There is no cap on the number of flats an individual applicant can book under the scheme.

Tower-wise and flat-wise details, including plinth area, parking provisions and tentative disposal prices, will be provided in the official brochure under Annexure-A.

The flats are currently over 90 per cent complete. At the time of allotment, buyers will be required to pay 75 per cent of the total disposal cost, as mentioned in the Demand-cum-Allotment Letter. The remaining 25 per cent will be payable upon completion, with possession expected by July 2026.

The tentative disposal price does not include GST, maintenance charges, conversion charges or water connection charges. GST will be applicable at the prevailing rate of 5 per cent.

In addition to individual buyers, the DDA has earmarked 107 two-BHK flats in RH-02 Block Towers—Pirpanjal, Vindhya, Shivalik and Satpura for bulk allotment to government institutions. A minimum requirement of 10 flats is mandatory for bulk purchase applications, which will also be processed on an FCFS basis.

The detailed brochure, including eligibility criteria, payment schedule and operational guidelines for the DDA Housing Scheme 2026, will be available for download from January 8, 2026, on (http://www.dda.gov.in) and the DDA Awaas Portal. This scheme forms part of DDA’s ongoing efforts to expand planned housing options in East Delhi.
