Pune Housing Lottery Deadline Extended to October 22: MHADA

By GeoSquare News Desk · Published 2026-10-16

The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has pushed the Pune housing lottery deadline to October 22. The extension comes in the wake of a backlog in the verification of documents and certificates submitted by applicants.

Why the deadline was extended

According to MHADA officials, the certificate verification process has taken longer than anticipated due to the high volume of applications. The additional time will allow authorities to complete the scrutiny and ensure a fair selection process for all eligible candidates.

What this means for applicants

Applicants who have already submitted their forms need not reapply. However, those with pending document corrections should use the extended window to update their submissions. The revised schedule is expected to be published on the official MHADA portal.

Impact on Pune's housing market

The lottery remains a key avenue for affordable housing in Pune. With the extended timeline, analysts expect a smoother disbursal of units and a positive impact on buyer sentiment in the affordable segment.
