Housing Project / Bhubaneswar: BDA extends Ekamra Residency application deadline to November 30

Bhubaneswar, Oct 31: The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) has extended the deadline for submission of online applications for its Ekamra Residency housing project at Subudhipur till November 30, giving prospective homebuyers an additional month to apply for the residential scheme. The earlier deadline was October 31.

Spread over approximately 7.34 acres, the project offers a mix of 2BHK and 2BHK-plus-study apartments and is aimed at providing modern residential facilities within the city.

496 Flats on Offer

Under the current allotment scheme, BDA has invited applications for 496 apartments across two residential blocks. These include 288 two-bedroom-plus-study units and 208 two-bedroom apartments.

According to BDA, the allotment process will be conducted through a lottery system to ensure transparency and fairness in the selection of eligible applicants.

Financial Benefits

In a move expected to benefit homebuyers, BDA has announced that the Rs 10,000 application fee will be adjusted against the final cost of the apartment. Applicants who do not secure allotment through the lottery process will receive a full refund of their Rs 2.1 lakh deposit.

Successful allottees will also be eligible for a range of financial incentives. These include a complete exemption from Goods and Services Tax (GST) and a 5 per cent exemption on stamp duty, reducing the overall cost burden on buyers.

The apartments are ready for occupation and will be allotted on a freehold basis. Allottees will also receive one year of complimentary maintenance.

Modern Amenities

BDA said the housing complex has been designed with modern infrastructure and safety features. The residential project includes earthquake-resistant reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures, along with amenities such as a swimming pool, gymnasium, sewage treatment plant, water recharge system, and 24-hour CCTV surveillance.

Application Process

Applicants are required to create a Unique Account Number (UAN) before submitting their applications through BDA's Property Allotment System. The authority has made UAN registration mandatory for carrying out transactions related to the housing scheme.

During registration, applicants must provide valid documents as proof of date of birth and residential address.

The extension is expected to provide more time for interested homebuyers to complete the application process and explore the benefits offered under the Ekamra Residency project.
