However, MHADA has clearly stated that there will be no further extensions for deposit payments.
MHADA’s Pune Division has carefully allocated these 5,863 flats across various schemes to cater to the diverse housing needs of the citizens. These schemes include 403 flats under the Housing Scheme, 431 flats under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 344 flats under the 15% Social Housing Scheme, 2,445 flats under the First Come First Priority Scheme, and an additional 2,445 flats under the 20% Comprehensive Housing Scheme.
