Help & Information
Plain-language answers about the MHADA housing lottery process. Always verify with the official MHADA portal before applying.
MHADA — the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority — is a state government body that builds and distributes affordable residential units. Rather than selling on a first-come-first-served basis, MHADA uses a computerised lucky draw so that allotments are transparent and free from discretion or middlemen. Eligible applicants pay an application fee and an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), then the computer randomly selects winners from the eligible pool for each scheme. The 2026 Pune lottery (PB-26-Aug) has 168 schemes open for applications until 15 September 2026.
Any Indian citizen who is at least 18 years old, holds a valid Maharashtra domicile certificate, meets the income criteria for at least one scheme, and does not own a completed residential unit within the relevant board's jurisdiction may apply. Joint applications (typically spouses) are permitted under specific conditions set out in the board advertisement. Check the current booklet for the exact eligibility conditions — they can differ between Pune and Nashik boards and between individual schemes.
These are income-based housing categories defined by the Maharashtra government. For urban areas such as Pune (PMRDA region): EWS (Economically Weaker Section) is for families earning up to ₹6 lakh per year; LIG (Low Income Group) up to ₹9 lakh; MIG (Middle Income Group) up to ₹12 lakh; HIG (Higher Income Group) is ₹12 lakh and above. Your income group determines which scheme types you can apply to. An EWS applicant can apply to EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG schemes; a LIG applicant to LIG, MIG and HIG; MIG to MIG and HIG; while an HIG applicant can only apply to HIG schemes.
EMD stands for Earnest Money Deposit. It is a refundable security deposit submitted along with your application through the official payment system. If you are not selected in the draw, your EMD is refunded through the official portal — the process and timeline are described in the board's booklet. If you are selected, the EMD is typically adjusted against the scheme's sale price. Never pay EMD to a broker, agent, or anyone through WhatsApp or UPI links that are not the official MHADA payment gateway.
After the application window closes, MHADA publishes a draft list of applicants for review and then a final eligible list for each scheme. The computerised draw randomly selects winners from the eligible pool. Results are published on the official portal and communicated through the registered mobile and email. The process is designed to be transparent: draws are conducted in the presence of officials and sometimes streamed. Allotment depends entirely on the random draw — no application order, no broker recommendation, and no inside contact can influence it.
A scheme is a specific residential project within a lottery — it has a location, a number of available units, a flat configuration (1 BHK, 2 BHK, etc.), a price, a carpet area, and specific eligibility conditions. The Pune PB-26-Aug lottery for 2026 has 168 such schemes spread across Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and nearby areas. Each scheme runs its own draw, so you can apply to multiple schemes simultaneously (subject to the rules and fees in the current booklet). Use the scheme browser on this page to filter by city, configuration, price and reservation category.
Being selected in the draw is not the same as receiving a home. MHADA's FAQ describes the process as follows: selected applicants receive a Conditional Provisional Offer Letter to their registered profile and email. This letter is conditional on document verification — MHADA will check that all submitted documents are genuine and that eligibility conditions are met. Only after verification is a Final Provisional Offer Letter issued, after which payment schedules begin. Follow all payment instructions strictly through official MHADA channels. Never pay an intermediary who claims to "speed up" possession.
The MHADA FAQ lists the following as typically required: Aadhaar card (applicant and spouse where applicable), PAN card (applicant and spouse where applicable), valid Maharashtra domicile certificate, income-tax-return information, and a Tehsildar income certificate. Caste certificate, caste-validity certificate, and reservation certificates are required where you are claiming a reserved category (SC, ST, NT, PH/Divyang, Defence). Document formats, issuing authorities and file specifications differ between boards and schemes — always check the current booklet and portal instructions before scanning and uploading.
Pune (PB-26-Aug) and Nashik (NB26-01-JUL) are run by separate MHADA boards with independent applications, eligibility rules and timelines. The Nashik lottery's application deadline (31 August 2026) has already passed — new applications are no longer accepted. The Pune lottery deadline is 15 September 2026 (verify in the official advertisement). Whether simultaneous applications across boards were permitted, and on what terms, is detailed in the respective board booklets. Apply only through the official MHADA portal, not third-party sites.
Carpet area is the net usable floor area within the walls of a flat — the area you can literally "carpet." It does not include wall thickness, balconies, or common spaces. Built-up area adds the wall thickness and sometimes the balcony. Super built-up area further adds a proportional share of common areas like staircases and lift lobbies. Since RERA (Real Estate Regulation Act), developers in India are required to disclose carpet area as the primary measurement. MHADA scheme listings on this site show carpet area as published in the official source.

Step-by-step guide for the MHADA Pune and Nashik 2026 online application process.
MHADA lottery 2026 apply kaise kare? The process is online, but the first step is not payment. First check whether the board, scheme, income group and reservation category match your situation. HousingLotteryIndia.lol helps you compare the Pune and Nashik board records, prices, carpet area, configuration and basic eligibility in one place.
Select the relevant board and open the official booklet or advertisement. Check the application opening date, closing date, EMD, application fee, scheme-specific income criteria, location, amenities and payment cut-off. Do not rely on an old screenshot or a forwarded WhatsApp message. A board can have a different deadline or payment method from another board.
MHADA's official guidance directs applicants to housing.mhada.gov.in or the official MHADA Housing Lottery System app. Registration generally asks for PAN, email and mobile details, followed by email OTP. The mobile number used for the account should be linked to Aadhaar so that Aadhaar OTP verification can work. Keep your password and OTP private.
The official FAQ lists Aadhaar for the applicant and spouse where applicable, PAN for the applicant and spouse where applicable, a valid domicile certificate, income-tax-return information, and a Tehsildar income certificate. Caste, caste-validity and reservation certificates are needed when applicable. Scan documents clearly, check names and dates, and follow the portal's file-size and format instructions. Do not upload a document to an unofficial website or send it to an agent.
From the application area, select the MHADA board, open the scheme list and review the scheme code, location, income group, house type, price and area. You may be able to apply to multiple schemes, but each application can have its own fee or EMD. Read the current booklet before confirming. Check whether the scheme is Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Nashik or another location; location affects eligibility and practicality.
The portal will show the application fee and EMD before confirmation. Choose an available payment method such as card, UPI, net banking or NEFT/RTGS, as permitted for that board and scheme. Complete the payment on the official payment flow, save the receipt and note the application number. Do not pay a WhatsApp contact, broker or "lottery expert."
Log in to the official portal or app and check the application list, document status and important dates. MHADA says the draft/final list and draw information are communicated through the official system, SMS/email and the lottery portal. The Pune online closing date is approximately 14 September 2026 and RTGS/NEFT around 16 September 2026 — verify these in the current official advertisement as they are subject to change. Nashik may close earlier. The 2026 draw date is currently to be announced.
Keep screenshots and receipts for your own records. This guide is for general information only. HousingLotteryIndia.lol is not affiliated with MHADA; the official MHADA advertisement, booklet, portal and app control the application.
Plain-language starting point for EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG eligibility — Pune and Nashik boards.
MHADA lottery eligibility income limit 2026 depends on the board, scheme, location and income group. Use this page as a plain-language starting point, then check the current official booklet for the exact scheme you want.
For areas within MMR, PMRDA, NMRDA, NIT and urban areas with a population above 10 lakh (Pune falls under PMRDA):
| Income Group | Annual Family Income |
|---|---|
| EWS | Up to ₹6,00,000 |
| LIG | Up to ₹9,00,000 |
| MIG | Up to ₹12,00,000 |
| HIG | ₹12,00,000 and above |
For areas outside those urban regions: EWS up to ₹4,50,000 · LIG up to ₹7,50,000 · MIG up to ₹12,00,000 · HIG ₹12,00,000 and above. Nashik schemes may follow a different classification — open the scheme's current booklet to confirm.
Per the MHADA FAQ: EWS applicants can apply for EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG; LIG applicants for LIG, MIG and HIG; MIG for MIG and HIG; HIG only for HIG. A particular scheme can have additional conditions.
Aadhaar, PAN, domicile certificate, income-tax-return information, Tehsildar income certificate. Caste certificate and validity certificate where applicable. Reservation categories on this site include GP (General Public/Open), SC, ST, NT, PH/Divyang and DF/Defence. Certificate format and issuing authority differ by category — check the current booklet.
Incorrect income group, unsupported reservation claim, invalid domicile, mismatch in PAN/Aadhaar/profile details, missing document, or property-rule conflict. Do not apply through an unofficial agent who promises a guaranteed allotment. Do not send Aadhaar, PAN, OTP, bank information or login credentials through WhatsApp.
This guide does not decide eligibility. HousingLotteryIndia.lol is not MHADA and this page is for general information only. Before submitting or paying, verify the current board advertisement, scheme booklet and official portal.
This page will be updated when the Pune and Nashik boards publish an official result date.
Result date: To Be Announced
We will update this page when the official draw date is confirmed. Do not rely on social-media posts or broker messages.
The MHADA Pune and Nashik lottery 2026 result date has not been confirmed. Do not treat a social-media post, broker message or old result date as an official announcement. MHADA says applicants should check the Important Dates section in the app, the official advertisement/calendar, SMS or email and the official lottery website.
After the draw, check your application status only through the official MHADA portal or MHADA IHLMS 2.0 app. Winners can be notified by SMS and email, in the application area of the app, and through the winner list published on the official lottery website. Keep your application number accessible and inspect a link's domain before entering any details.
Being selected is not an automatic possession letter. MHADA's FAQ says a selected applicant receives a Conditional Provisional Offer Letter through their profile or registered email, followed by document verification. A final Provisional Offer Letter is issued only after verification. Follow the letter's payment instructions through MHADA official channels; never pay an intermediary who claims inside access.
If your name appears on a waiting list, activation depends on your priority number and whether applicants ahead are found ineligible or surrender. If you are not selected, follow the official EMD refund process via the portal/app — never send bank documents to a WhatsApp contact.
Past housing lottery campaigns have sometimes taken several months between the application close and final result announcements — historically, some results have come in a December–February window. That is only a rough historical pattern, not a 2026 promise. The official board calendar controls.
