The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has started the online sale of 118 residential flats in Mumbai on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis, offering a fresh opportunity for homebuyers. These flats remained unsold in previous lottery rounds and are now being made available through a direct booking process to speed up sales and improve accessibility.
The sale process began online, allowing interested buyers to register and apply through MHADA’s housing portal. Unlike the traditional lottery system, this FCFS model enables applicants to secure a flat by completing the booking formalities quickly. Once a unit is selected, buyers are required to pay 10% of the total cost within a specified time to confirm the booking.
The flats are located across various parts of Mumbai, including suburban and prime areas. The pricing range is broad, catering to different income groups. Entry-level homes are priced from approximately ₹38 lakh, while premium units in prime localities are priced significantly higher.
Applicants must meet certain eligibility criteria, including being an Indian citizen, at least 18 years old and possessing a valid Maharashtra domicile certificate. The authority has outlined clear guidelines regarding documentation, deposits and payment schedules to ensure transparency.
With rising property demand in Mumbai, this move is expected to attract strong interest from aspiring homeowners looking for government-backed housing options in the city.
