Employees across government departments, public sector undertakings, hospitals and other government-linked institutions at the central and state levels will be eligible to apply for the scheme.

Notably, all flats that are offered have completed construction. The registration process is likely to be held online. DDA is currently undertaking the setting up of the registration process which includes publishing brochures and the announcement of an online application system.
