This applies to all localities and all types of flats, it said.

03 , July , 2023

In a move to offer flexibility to the applicants to increase the size of their flats, the DDA has allowed amalgamation of two adjacent flats offered under the recently launched new scheme of the DDA. The DDA recently launched a first-come, first-serve (FCFS) basis housing scheme, that will include 5,500 flats across all categories at various locations in Delhi.  The scheme is receiving "good response" from the general public and around 4,000 registrations have been made so far, officials stated.  

As per this provision, if an applicant happens to buy two adjacent flats on offer in this scheme of FCFS phase-IV, he or she shall have the liberty of amalgamating the two units, by "opening a common door through a common wall between them, subject to necessary structural approvals", the DDA said in a statement. 

This applies to all localities and all types of flats, it said.  If one applicant happens to buy an adjacent flat to a flat that he already owns from an earlier scheme, principles of amalgamation will also be applicable, the DDA said.  Under the scheme, 1-BHK flats are being offered in Narela, Siraspur, Rohini, and Loknayak Puram; 2-BHK flats in Narela and Dwarka; and 3-BHK flats in Jasola.
