Effective until June 30, 2025, the scheme opens access to 1BHK, 2BHK, and 3BHK flats in prominent LDA residential zones, such as Shravan, Adra, Sopan Enclave-2, Smriti Apartment, Ratan Lok, and others. These homes, priced between ₹22 lakh and ₹1 crore, are not only positioned in well-connected neighbourhoods but also tailored to appeal to a broad socio-economic spectrum.
The pricing incentive includes a flat ₹1.5 lakh discount for homes priced below ₹45 lakh and up to ₹2 lakh off for those above this threshold. Additionally, the authority is offering further rebates of up to 6% for buyers making full payment within 45 days of allotment. This tiered discount structure is designed to support first-time homebuyers while also encouraging early closures for those with the capacity for upfront investment.
What sets the scheme apart is the flexibility it offers across buyer categories. Government employees are eligible for immediate possession after paying just 25% of the total cost, while general buyers can obtain possession with 35% upfront. This approach allows faster occupancy and supports housing as a utility rather than merely an investment vehicle.
The move also caters to investors, as the LDA has lifted the restriction on purchasing multiple units, opening the door to those looking to expand property portfolios or secure additional homes for family members. This initiative marks a strategic step in the authority’s long-term urban planning roadmap. It reflects an effort to balance affordability, livability, and development equity in one of India’s fastest-growing tier-2 cities. Given Lucknow’s growing status as a cultural, administrative, and business hub, such schemes play a crucial role in shaping its urban form and ensuring residential access remains democratic and opportunity-led.
With limited inventory and growing interest, LDA officials have urged prospective buyers to act promptly. Bookings are ongoing and properties will be allocated strictly on a first-come, first-serve basis.
