Delhi Development Authority?s 2016 housing scheme, offering 13,000 flats in the Capital, which was expected to roll out around Diwali will now be launched by January 26.The scheme was given the final approval in November but the exact date for its launch has not been disclosed. The date for the launch, which has been delayed by at least two months, was further pushed because of the Centre?s demonetisation drive. A senior DDA official said buyers will get nearly a month to complete the formalities and submit applications. ?The scrutiny of application forms may take another month. So, the draw can be held in the first week of April. The agency may start giving possession around July-September after completing unfinished civil work and services in the colonies,? he said.The official added that the agency has also set up a committee comprising chief engineers of respective districts to look into reports on the lack of infrastructure and poor civil work in flats.Read: DDA finalises housing scheme, launch date on hold due to cash chaosSources in DDA said that during a recent meeting, issues of poor approach roads, non-availability of water, and lack of other services were also discussed after which a panel was appointed to find out solutions to these problems.?It was a matter of concern that at a location, the nearest milk booth was situated around six kilometres away.

This time, the authority has done away with a few rules considering the interest of homebuyers with ?freehold allotment? and ?five-year lock-in?, during which the flat could not be sold by the allottee, being crucial. The lock-in period was one of the main reasons because of which flats offered under the last scheme were surrendered.
