MMRDA Launches e-Punarvasan, Gives 94 Garib Nagar Families Possession Letters
MMRDA has created a new computer system called e-Punarvasan.
It is designed to help people affected by development projects receive rehabilitation homes.
The system keeps information together instead of using many separate paper and spreadsheet records.
Officials can check identity, electricity bills and other documents online.
Eligible families can be entered into a computerised lottery for available homes.
The system then creates allotment and possession letters digitally.
On October 1, 2026, 94 eligible families from Garib Nagar received possession letters.
Officials said the system should make the process clearer, more traceable and less dependent on intermediaries.
MMRDA operationalised its integrated digital rehabilitation system, e-Punarvasan, on October 1, 2026.
Possession letters were issued to 94 eligible Garib Nagar slum dwellers.
The system connects surveys, Aadhaar verification, electricity-bill checks, eligibility processing and tenement allotment.
Eligible Project Affected Persons will receive tenements through a computerised e-Lottery without human intervention.
MMRDA said digital records, QR-linked documents and dashboards will improve transparency and monitoring.
