MHADA lottery 2017 would be offering 35% less homes to the people of Maharashtra as compared to last year’s lottery. There would be 650 affordable homes on offer under the MHADA lottery 2017 compared to 972 homes last year. According to a report in Mid-Day, the officials have confirmed that only 650 flats would be offered under the 2017 housing lottery by the Maharashtra Housing and Urban Development Authority.

MHADA housing lottery 2017 would be launched in the last week of May 2017. As per the Mid-Day report, the advertisement of housing lottery scheme would be published on 31st May and the applications for the scheme would be invited from 1st June.

MHADA try to offer as many affordable homes as possible but this time the number has been decreased by about 35%. One of the possible reasons is that the authority is left with very less vacant land to construct homes because most of its land is encroached upon and vacating those is a very difficult task.

Many of the flats being built by MHADA are still under construction hence can not be included in 2017 housing lottery. Previous MHADA housing lotteries has helped a lot of people belonging to EWS category who were not able to afford homes. However, the authority is not offering even a single home for the economically weaker section of the society.

95% of all the 650 homes being offered in MHADA lottery 2017 would be for the applicants belonging to Lower Income Group (LIG) and Middle Income Group (MIG) category of the society.
