The Konkan Housing and Area Development Board – a unit of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) –has initiated the online application process for the sale of 13,395 unsold flats under various housing schemes through a newly developed digital platform – https://bookmyhome.mhada.gov.in. The platform was formally launched on Wednesday by MHADA’s Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer Sanjeev Jaiswal.
Speaking on the occasion, Revati Gaikar, the Chief Officer of the Konkan Board, stated that under the earlier Integrated Land Management System (IHLMS) 2.0 system, applicants in the ‘First Come, First Serve (FCFS)’ process did not have the option to select a specific flat. However, with the introduction of the ‘Book My Home’ portal, applicants now have the option to view the available flats in real time and select a specific unit, including the floor and flat number, as per their eligibility and preference. This digital platform provides detailed scheme-level and flat-level information to enable applicants to make informed decisions.
Flats from MHADA’s housing projects in Bolinj (Virar), Shirdhon (Panvel), and Gotheghar, Khoni, and Bhandarli (Thane district) have been made available on the portal. The process is fully automated and conducted through an online system without any manual intervention. Applicants are required to upload scanned copies of their Aadhaar card, PAN card, and self-declaration at the time of registration. Once the documents are uploaded, the system conducts digital verification without human interference, following which an applicant profile is created.
Upon the completion of verification, eligible applicants can view the list of available flats by location, including flat and floor number, and proceed to reserve the flat of their choice. The selection is confirmed on a first come, first serve basis.
Apart from the flats covered under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the eligibility conditions for other flats have been relaxed. No income-related criteria have been prescribed. These flats have been made available for applicants from the General, Scheduled Caste, and Scheduled Tribe categories.
