DDA Premium Housing Scheme 2025: How To Apply, Eligibility, Documents Required; A Comprehensive Guide For Homebuyers

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has launched the Premium Housing Scheme 2025, opening from August 26, 2025, through an entirely online e-auction mechanism. The scheme covers a wide range of residential flats, from Low-Income Group (LIG) units priced under Rs 40 lakh to High-Income Group (HIG) apartments in prime localities costing above Rs 2 crore. This is not a casual purchase process; it is an organised, tightly regulated auction where rules must be understood thoroughly before participation. This guide compiles the official scheme details, auction rules, and clarifications provided in the DDA’s published FAQs, so prospective buyers can have a single, authoritative reference.
