MHADA Konkan Lottery 2025: How to Register, Apply and Secure Your Affordable Home

How to Register and Apply for the MHADA Konkan Lottery

First things first – if you want a chance at one of the 5,285 units, you need to get onto the portal before the 15 November deadline. The process is split into three clear steps: create an account, fill in your personal and financial details, and finally submit the application after your photo is approved.

Head over to the official MHADA Konkan website and click the MHADA Konkan Lottery registration button. You’ll be asked to pick a username, set a password and confirm a mobile number – the OTP you receive is how MHADA will keep you posted on every update. Once you’re in, a second form pops up where you’ll enter your monthly income, bank account number and upload a recent passport‑size photo.

After you hit submit, the system verifies the photo. When it’s cleared, you can choose the specific scheme you’re interested in, select your reservation category (SC/ST/OBC/General) and enter details about your current accommodation. Double‑check every entry – a typo can stall your application.

Payment is the last hurdle. The ‘Pay Online’ button redirects you to a secure gateway where you’ll pay the small processing fee. After the transaction, download the acknowledgment receipt, print the form, stick your photo on it, scan it as a JPEG and upload it back to the portal. That’s it – you’re officially in the lottery pool.

Key Requirements, Documentation and Financial Obligations

The document checklist is exhaustive, but it’s designed to keep the scheme transparent.

• PAN Card and Aadhaar Card (both must be active).
• Cancelled cheque showing the applicant’s bank account.
• Domicile certificate issued after 1 January 2018 with a MahaOnline/MahaIT barcode.
• Passport‑size photographs (usually three recent shots).
• Birth certificate for verifying age.
• Income proof – ITR acknowledgment for FY 2023‑24 (salary slips or Form 16 are not accepted). Married applicants must also upload their spouse’s ITR for the same year.
• Income certificate signed by a Tahsildar or issued at a Maha e‑Seva Kendra, again with a barcode.
• If you’re applying under the PMAY‑Urban 2.0 route, keep your registration certificate handy for post‑lottery verification.

All of these can be uploaded through the MHADA IHLMS 2.0 mobile app, which is available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. The app not only lets you track your application status but also sends alerts for important dates, generates certificates, and even guides you through the stamp‑duty payment.

Winning the draw means you’ll need to settle stamp duty (typically 5‑6 % of the market value) and registration charges (about 1 %). The exact figures vary by location, and MHADA posts the payment instructions – including PAN and TAN numbers – on its official site.

Need help? MHADA runs several helplines (9869988000, 022‑26592692, 022‑26592693, 02269468100) for general queries, plus dedicated banking support numbers (7066047214, 9529485780, 18008918297) if you hit a snag during payment.

Remember, some reservation categories are allocated on a First‑Come‑First‑Serve basis, so early registration can give you an edge. Keep an eye on the ‘Important Dates’ section of the app or the official advertisement to stay ahead of the curve.
