MHADA Lottery : 5000 houses of MHADA in Thane, Kalyan, Vasai-Virar; The whole process is 100% transparent due to the new system

MHADA Lottery : MHADA’s Konkan Mandal has announced its biggest ever housing lottery in 2026, providing 5000 affordable houses. The deposit amount has been reduced for these houses in Thane, Kalyan-Dombivali, Panvel and Vasai-Virar, which will make the common man’s dream of owning a home come true.

Huge reduction in deposit amount and financial relief to common man

MHADA has changed an important rule so that the common man’s dream of a house does not remain insufficient due to lack of money. Earlier, economically weaker section citizens had to pay a huge deposit while applying, which was beyond the budget of many. For this year’s draw, it is very likely that this deposit amount will be directly brought between Rs.10000 and Rs.12500. This will enable low income families to easily apply for a MHADA home without incurring the additional burden of loan or interest. MHADA Lottery

The time frame for the entire process is between August to October 2026

The schedule of this draw is now finalized and the official advertisement will be released by MHADA in the last week of August 2026. Citizens will generally be given 30 to 45 days to submit the online application form, upload the documents and pay the deposit after the advertisement is released. After completing the computerized scrutiny of all the applications, the names of the winners will be announced through a digital draw (sodat) in a transparent manner at the MHADA head office in the first or second week of October 2026.
