MHADA Postpones Online Registration for 120 Mumbai Flats Due to Technical Issues
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has announced a delay in the online registration process for 120 flats in Mumbai, which was originally scheduled to begin on February 5, 2026. According to a statement issued by MHADA on February 4, the postponement is due to technical issues. The flats are being offered under the First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) scheme, which aims to provide affordable housing to eligible applicants.
The online application registration process was initially set to start at 11:00 a.m. on February 5, 2026, on MHADA’s official website. However, due to unforeseen technical difficulties, the detailed advertisement and information brochure will not be uploaded on the website as planned. MHADA has appealed to all aspiring applicants to take note of the changes and await the announcement of the revised date.
An advertisement regarding the sale of 120 tenements under the FCFS scheme was published in various newspapers on February 3, 2026. As per the advertisement, the detailed advertisement and information brochure were supposed to be available on MHADA’s official website from 11:00 a.m. on February 5, 2026. However, this will now be delayed until the technical issues are resolved.
MHADA announced on February 2 that the flats on offer are located in various areas of Mumbai, including Kandivali, Charkop, Shimpoli, Antop Hill, Wadala, Powai, Malad, Mankhurd, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Byculla, Tardeo, Lower Parel, Sion, Juhu, and Andheri. These flats were previously offered through lotteries but remained unsold for various reasons. The FCFS scheme is an effort to make these flats available to the public in a more transparent and efficient manner.
The postponement of the online registration process is expected to cause some inconvenience to potential applicants. However, MHADA has assured that the revised date will be announced soon, and all necessary information will be provided to the public through official channels. Applicants are advised to stay updated by visiting the official MHADA website and following their social media pages for the latest updates.
In addition to the FCFS scheme, MHADA has also announced plans to offer 5,000 affordable homes in Mumbai in the next two months. This initiative is part of the broader efforts to address the housing needs of the city’s growing population and to provide affordable housing options to eligible citizens. The authority is working diligently to ensure that these projects are completed on time and that the homes are made available to those who need them the most.
The FCFS scheme and the upcoming affordable housing projects are significant steps towards addressing the housing crisis in Mumbai. By offering unsold flats through a transparent and fair process, MHADA is taking a proactive approach to make housing more accessible to the city’s residents. The technical issues that led to the postponement of the online registration process are being addressed, and the authority is committed to resolving them as quickly as possible to minimize any inconvenience to the applicants.
