To cut down on the paperwork and massive queues to collect applications, MHADA has announced that the forms, for the first time, will have to be downloaded fromwww.mhada.maharashtra.gov.in and should be filled there itself.
The forms can be submitted at any Axis Bank branch till May 19. The lottery will be declared on May 31 at Rangasharda in Bandra.
“Over the years, we have had to reject a lot of applications because the forms were either incomplete or incorrectly filled.
The online application system that we have introduced from this year will take care of that. It will also get rid of long queues.
All those who have a problem with the online system can come to MHADA centres. We are confident that the lottery will be a huge success,” said Amarjit Singh Manhas, chairman, Mumbai board.
