Over 35,000 Apply for Telangana's Indiramma LIG Housing Flats
In Hyderabad, a big city in India, many families dream of owning a home.
The government started a special program called Indiramma to help families with less money buy a small flat.
These flats are one-bedroom homes that are 528 square feet.
More than 35,000 families applied for these homes by the deadline on Monday.
But there are only 7,680 flats available.
Because of this, the government will pick who gets a flat using a lucky draw, like a lottery.
Families who are chosen will pay 6 lakh rupees, and the government will pay 5 lakh rupees to help.
The land for the homes is given for free.
To be eligible, a family must earn less than 6 lakh rupees a year and not already own a home.
A huge wave of people applied on the very last day, so the final count may grow even higher.
The Telangana Housing Board received over 35,000 applications for its Indiramma LIG housing scheme as the deadline closed at 5 pm on Monday.
The scheme offers 7,680 one-bedroom ownership flats across 16 Assembly constituencies in Hyderabad's Core Urban Region Economy (CURE) area.
Each 528 sq ft flat involves a beneficiary contribution of ₹6 lakh, with a ₹5 lakh government subsidy and land provided free of cost.
Eligibility requires annual family income of up to ₹6 lakh, residence within the CURE area, and no ownership of a house, flat, or plot within ORR limits.
Allotment will be done through a lottery, and the ₹10,000 earnest money deposit will be adjusted upon allotment or refunded to unsuccessful applicants.
