Extension Based on Public Requests
Rahul Sakore, Chief Officer of the Pune Board, said the extension follows multiple requests from citizens seeking more time to arrange documents and complete their applications. He urged applicants to use only the official MHADA portals — https://lottery.mhada.gov.in and https://bookmyhome.mhada.gov.in — for FCFS registrations.
A detailed information booklet explaining the registration and payment steps is also available at https://housing.mhada.gov.in.
Helpline and Fraud Advisory
For assistance, applicants can contact the MHADA helpline at 022-69468100.
