The state government has changed the rules along with the permissible sq.ft area in the income limit of MHADA lottery. The apartments under MIG category will now be spread over up to 968 sq ft as against earlier permitted space of 1,722 sq ft, as per the new guidelines, while for the HIG category, the carpet area has been increased to 968 sq ft from the limit of 2,152 sq ft.
Through the lottery mechanism of the Maharashtra Housing & Area Development, the state government’s nodal agency and statutory housing authority, the government of Maharashtra has revised the guidelines to modify the permitted carpet area of apartments to be built and sold under the High-Income Group (HIG) and Middle-Income Group (MIG).
Now as per the changes, applicants from Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and low-income groups cannot apply for HIG segments apartments which were earlier allowed to apply under any categories.
However, the government has decided to allow applicants from each category to apply either in their respective category or just one category higher than that, to avoid the possibility of no sale of apartments, despite securing the allotment through a lottery, given their income levels and limited loan eligibility for a bigger apartment.
As per the new guidelines, applicants from the EWS category can apply for apartments in the EWS and LIG segment, while LIG applicants can apply for apartments in their category and MIG. Likewise, applicants in the MIG category can apply for MIG and HIG apartments. However, HIG homebuyers can only apply in their category, as per the Government Resolution (GR).
The revised guidelines will be applicable for all apartments that are currently being built or will be built under various schemes of MHADA and on the land parcels allotted by the development authority.
