Before you apply

  1. Check eligibility. EWS and LIG categories follow income limits. Confirm the current limits in the official brochure.
  2. Look at the location, not just the price. Visit the node. Check commute, schools and how far the station is.
  3. Understand possession timelines for under-construction towers.
  4. Read transfer and rental conditions. Lottery homes can come with restrictions.
A lottery flat is a home first. Check the commute and possession date as carefully as the price.

How it compares with buying resale in Navi Mumbai

  • Lottery: lower prices, but you choose from what's on offer, and there may be restrictions on renting or selling.
  • Resale: more choice and immediate possession, at market prices.

Navi Mumbai has also seen big infrastructure changes, including Atal Setu and the new airport. See our posts on the Navi Mumbai airport and Ulwe and Dronagiri after Atal Setu.
