The online application registration and acceptance process for the computerized lottery for the sale of 2,640 tenements under various housing schemes in Mumbai, organized by the MHADA Mumbai Board, was inaugurated today through a ‘Go Live’ ceremony by MHADA’s Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, Sanjeev Jaiswal (IAS).

Homes Across Key Mumbai Locations Offered Under Multiple Schemes

Speaking at the event held at MHADA Headquarters, Bandra (East), Jaiswal stated that tenements under the lottery are available across various housing projects in Mumbai, including Kannamwar Nagar–Vikhroli, Patra Chawl Siddharth Nagar–Goregaon, Old Magathane–Borivali, Gorai–Borivali, Subhash Nagar–Chembur, Gandhinagar–Bandra, Pant Nagar–Ghatkopar, Girgaon, Wadala, Kopri–Powai, Mazgaon, Tunga Powai, Lokmanya Nagar–Dadar, Pahadi Goregaon, Antop Hill–Wadala, among others. These tenements are being offered for different income groups, and their prices have been determined as per MHADA’s prevailing policy.

Tenements Sold on ‘As-Is-Where-Is’ Basis with Repairs Assured

He further stated that the tenements received from developers under Development Control Regulations (DCR) 33(5), 33(7), and 58 are being offered for sale on an “as-is-where-is” basis. However, MHADA will carry out necessary repairs before handing over possession. Additionally, if any property tax or society maintenance dues are pending on the allotted tenement, MHADA will clear the same before handing over possession to the successful applicant.

Apply Only via Official MHADA Platforms, Warns CEO

Providing further details about the lottery process, Jaiswal appealed to applicants to participate only through MHADA’s official website https://housing.mhada.gov.in and the IHLMS 2.0 (Integrated MHADA Housing Lottery Management System) mobile application. The mobile app is available on both Android and iOS platforms via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Applicants are advised not to fall prey to middlemen or fraudulent offers claiming to secure a flat.

Fully Online, Transparent Lottery Process with No Office Visits Needed

The entire lottery process including registration, document submission, eligibility verification, application submission, payment of earnest money deposit, and payment after allotment, is completely online. Applicants are not required to visit any MHADA office. The system is fully transparent, faceless, and operates without human intervention, leveraging advanced technology. The registration process will remain open continuously, and a permanent applicant profile will be created upon registration. Applications will be verified promptly through the system, and only eligible applicants will be allowed to participate in the lottery. Jaiswal expressed confidence that, as in previous lotteries, this year’s Mumbai Board lottery will receive an enthusiastic response.

97 Housing Project Sites Included; Location Details to Be Shared

A total of 97 housing project locations are included in this lottery. The Google location details of all these sites will be made available on the official website and mobile app. To facilitate applicants in inspecting the tenements before applying, MHADA will also provide details of contact personnel along with their contact numbers on the official platforms within the next 2–3 days, as directed by Sanjeev Jaiswal.

Category-Wise Allocation: MIG Gets Largest Share

On this occasion, Chief Officer of the Mumbai Board, Milind Borikar, informed that 145 tenements are available for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS), 858 for the Lower Income Group (LIG), 1,408 for the Middle Income Group (MIG), and 229 for the Higher Income Group (HIG).

Breakdown of Housing Stock Across MHADA and Redevelopment Projects

The lottery includes 1,762 tenements under construction by MHADA, 371 tenements received as housing stock from redevelopment projects under DCR 33(5), 188 tenements under DCR 33(7), and 319 tenements from previous lotteries and scattered stock under DCR 33(5), 33(7), and 58.

Existing Applicants Can Update Profiles Without Fresh Registration

Borikar further stated that applicants who have previously registered and uploaded documents in the system need only update any changes in their profile. For example, if the applicant is married and both spouses have income, updated income documents such as Income Tax Returns for the period April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 (Financial Year 2024–25, Assessment Year 2025–26) or a valid income certificate issued by the Tehsildar must be uploaded. There is no need for fresh registration or resubmission of other documents.
