“Applicant must be a resident of Delhi for at least 10 years and the annual income should not exceed Rs.16,000,” Dikshit stated.
The filled application forms would be received at same 54 centres between Aug 18 to Sept 5.
Two-room and one-room dwelling units would respectively cost Rs.200,000 and Rs.175,000 approximately, for which the union government would provide around Rs.60,000 under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).
Rest of the amount would be arranged as soft loan on easy instalment from banks, which would be repayable in 15 to 20 years.
