The Konkan Housing and Area Development Board (a unit of 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 today by Sanjeev Jaiswal, IAS, vice president and chief executive officer, Mhada.
Revati Gaikar, chief officer, Konkan Board, stated that under the earlier IHLMS 2.0 system, applicants in the First Come, First Serve (FCFS) process did not have the facility to select a specific flat. With the introduction of the ‘Book My Home’ portal, applicants now have the option to view available flats in real time and select a specific unit, including 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 Virar (Bolinj), Khoni, Shirdhon, Gotheghar, and Bhandarli have been made available on the platform. The process is fully automated, 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 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.
In an independent development the Mhada Mumbai Board has announced that it will give away over 5,000 units as part of the Mumbai Mhada Board Diwali Lottery 2025.
