The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has introduced a dedicated housing scheme for government employees, offering residential flats at subsidised rates to ensure wider access to safe and planned housing in the national capital. This initiative is designed to support individuals working in government and allied institutions by reducing the financial burden of homeownership through discounted pricing and transparent allotment mechanisms.
To avoid confusion and ensure fairness, DDA has laid down detailed eligibility criteria, applicant categories, and document verification norms. A thorough understanding of these requirements is essential before applying, as incomplete or incorrect submissions can lead to rejection at the verification stage.
The scheme is open exclusively to employees working in government or government-linked organisations. Eligibility is determined primarily by the nature of employment, income category, and compliance with DDA’s ownership rules.
Employees currently serving under the Central Government of India are eligible to apply. This includes individuals working in various ministries, departments, attached offices, and subordinate offices.
Eligible applicants include:
Applicants must be able to provide official proof of employment, clearly indicating their department, designation, and employment status.
Employees of State Government departments and agencies are also eligible under the scheme. DDA recognises state government service as a qualifying category, provided the applicant meets income and documentation norms.
This category generally covers:
State government applicants must submit valid service certificates or pension-related documents at the time of verification.
The scheme also extends benefits to employees of Public Sector Undertakings and government-owned banks, recognising them as part of the broader public service ecosystem.
Eligible organisations include:
Applicants from this category must submit proof clearly showing the PSU or bank’s government ownership status.
Employees working with autonomous bodies, municipal corporations, development authorities, and statutory organisations funded or controlled by the government are also covered.
Examples include:
Employment certificates issued by the competent authority are mandatory for applicants from this group.
Teaching and non-teaching staff employed in government or government-aided universities and educational institutions are eligible.
This includes:
Applicants must submit official appointment letters or service certificates issued by the institution.
DDA allows retired employees from eligible government categories to apply, ensuring housing security even after retirement.
Key requirements include:
Applicants must select a housing category based on their annual household income, as defined by DDA norms.
Common categories include:
Selection of an incorrect category may lead to disqualification during verification.
Beyond employment and income, applicants must comply with DDA’s general conditions:
Applicants should prepare scanned copies of the following documents before registration:
Employees of the Central Government, State Governments, public sector undertakings (PSUs), public sector banks, autonomous bodies, local bodies, universities, and eligible retired government employees can apply, subject to DDA’s official eligibility norms.
Yes, retired employees from eligible government and government-linked organisations can apply, provided they submit valid retirement documents such as a Pension Payment Order (PPO) and meet other scheme conditions.
Applicants must submit identity proof, address proof, employment or service certificate, income proof, PAN card, bank details, and other supporting documents as prescribed by the Delhi Development Authority.
In most cases, applicants or their spouses should not own a residential property allotted by DDA. Ownership conditions may vary depending on the scheme’s final notification.
Flats are allotted through an online and transparent process based on eligibility, selected income category, availability of flats, and verification by DDA authorities.
