The MHADA clause says that minimum of 15 years should be available for domicile and 20 years of stay in maharashtra. You have to prove that u have been staying in maharashtra for 15+ years. Probably for other documents please try contacting MHADA helpdesk.

As u hav told above "2 years form 16 + 6 months payslip + 6 banks statement May be required to prove your income"
But the problem is i hav joined an company in july 2011.Just 10 months gone.

You would be drawing some salary previous to this job. if no form 16 you can furnish income tax returns to prove your income. Also your application is based on the total average income between 1/4/2011 to 31/3/2012. For this year you can provide your payslips and last year the form 16 for 8-9 months.

Dear Ganesh,
On the salary calculation front, i'm still confused as the Mhada information booklet says that HRA + travel allowance + Other Conveyance will not be in calculation. can u elaborate in detail the components that need to be taken into account while calculating the income group.
Reply
Replies Ganesh Punjabi May 15, 2012 9:33 AM
HRA is excluded if it is part of the payslip or included in the CTC by the company. Travel and conveyenance, laundry charges, if paid seperately by the company should not be counted as income.

For income of 25k you would be eligible for MIG only. If your gross income contains the HRA or travel allowance you can reduce it. If by reducing all that your income goes below 20k, than only you would be eligible for applying in LIG otherwise not.

My mom and dad dont own house in Mumbai but in Kalyan.
My question was can they apply two separate forms under General Public category, 273 Powai under HIG sceme as separate individuals?
Or their total income will be considered as one entity under total family income ans so they cant apply separately?

MHADA LOTTERY RESULTS FOR MAY 2012
My question is.......
ReplyDeleteI am a central government employee and my job is transferable to other places in India. i am living in Mumbai since last 7 years and according to the information given in information booklet i can not apply in CG reservation category. Then should i apply in general category and then furnish the certificate from Govt. for my domicile exemption. please solve y query fast as phone number given for helpline is busy continuously.
Yes you can do that.
ReplyDeletethank you sir.
DeleteIs there any clause or rule given in the MHADA scheme for the above query i have asked to you. Can i get it on net or it can be get from MHADA through communication.
Request you refer the booklet,Pg 16 for clause on Centrail govt employees. You can download the booklet by the link specified in the post.
Deletehttps://lottery.mhada.gov.in/OnlineApplication/index.jsp --- link for the booklet and filling the form
Deletethe information given there is about the CG employees going to retire in near future but not for the employees like me who have joined the services some years back only. sir please clarify.
DeleteIt also says about the current CG employees. More information would be available with MHADA helpdesk only.
DeleteHi Ganesh,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great job. Thank you so much.
I have a couple of questions. I have applied and submitted the form in HIG category. At the time of filling I remember the salary asked was an average earned between 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2011. As in all your feedback I can see the period from 01/04/11 to 31/03/12. Will that make any difference as in both cases I fall under the HIG category but with different figures.
Also while filling the form I have mentioned the name of my father and mother who will be residing if we get the flat. My brother is currently working abroad and I did not mention his name in the list. Will it be possible to include the name later on if I win the lottery.
Thanks,
Balan.
The difference in income have to be justified to MHADA authority. It may or may not raise a question depends on how MHADA accepts your justification. Also as you have to apply as average of 12 months, the difference would not be much difficult to justfiy. Names are requested by MHADA so that the flat is not been misused. MHADA can be informed afterward about your brother's availabity so it may not cause much problem.
DeleteThanks a lot Ganesh for your reply.

ReplyDeleteDear Ganesh,
ReplyDeleteVery useful information.....
I have one doubt, suppose my mom earns 25k and dad also 25k, which means total income is 50k i.e. they can apply in HIG.
Now my question is,can they both apply in the same scheme, suppose Magathane, with joint total income (two applications in the same scheme, one with my mom's name and other with dad's) ???
Yes they can apply jointly. They can apply jointly by interchanging the primary name in 2 different applicants in the same scheme.
Deletehi Ganesh,
ReplyDeleteWhere should we submit the DD and the filled online form with the photograph and signature.
thank,
Ajit
Axis Bank Branches
DeleteIf somebody doesn't have a PAN no. can he apply for the lottery???
ReplyDeleteIf you applying other than EWS , you would need the pan number as they cross verify your income with the PAN. If you give it wrong, they would reject the application.
DeleteI have not understood point no 5.4 from d mhada info booklet regarding noc on stamp paper. what is dis??
ReplyDeleteIt says that you have submit a noc on Rs. 100/- stamp paper that you , your spouse or your unmarried children do not own any property in MCGM allotted by MHADA or build by MHADA.
DeleteHi Ganesh,
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me if the DD & Printed form have to be submitted in person in Axis Bank or it can be done by anyone on behalf of you?
Also is the last date i.e. 23rd May 2012 only for Online application or does it apply to form submission in Axis banks too.
Thanks,

You have submit online application as well as make the payment thru dd till 23/4/12. Your presence is not required , you can give someone else the duly completed form with signature and photos to be submitted in Axis.
DeleteDear Ganesh,

ReplyDeletei am 36 yr old self employed in share market had joint [with wife] income of 3lakh last year [mostly in interest and dividends] so no tax return is available since individually no tax is to be filed if not taxable. i do have considerable savings from my past profits with which i can purchase MIG flat. how do i show income proof ? is interest and dividend proof valid as income? also i wouldnt need loan?
thanx for your inputs
Refer Pg 9. pt 5.3 for the proof details of the income to be provided. You would need IT return in case of business/non-salary income, salary certificate/form 16 for salary income.
DeleteHi Buddy,
ReplyDeleteFirstly let me thank you for the great job that you are doing, in the dark sea of Mahda where you dont have clear info, yoiu come as a bright light with direction. Thanks.
I also have a question, I have already applied in the HIG scheme and shown my income as 49000. But my income might go upto 55000, any which ways i will still stay in HIG.....
Is that ok ?
The income details should be for the period from 1/4/2011 to 31/3/2012 divided by 12, you would need to justify the difference if any to MHADA.
DeleteHi Ganesh
ReplyDeleteme and my husband age 33 and 37 resp have only interest income from fixed deposits [280000 pa ] . we live with my in-laws who file return and they own house. we dont file return since its not taxable also we dont house . can we show interest payment in bank statement as income proof
thanks for you great work
Bank statement as income proof has not been mentioned in the MHADA booklet. Request you to refer point 5.3 on pg 9 of the booklet. Still you can call MHADA help desk for details on 022-66405099/66405010

HRA
CONV ALLOW
MGT ALLOW
LV.ENCASH
BONUS (Yearly)

1. what all shd i consider while calculating monthly income for last FY.
2. what do we do with deductions i.e. shd we not deduct the amount before we give the monthly income.
I want to double check before submitting the form.
Pls help
Exclude the HRA and conv allowance else everything would be the total income earned. Calculate the total of all this that you have received from 1/4/2011 to 31/3/2012. Divide this total by 12 to get monthly average income. This average income would tell you for which scheme you are eligible to apply. You have to take into consideration the gross income except hra/conv. allowance. Deductions would be included in the gross income.
DeleteI am a CG employee who retired in Apr. My last yearr's income makes me eligible for the High Income Grp (HIG); however, as a pensioner, I am not eligible for the HIG anymore from this year. Purely based on last year's income, can I apply for the HIG houses? (the form asks for the salary during the last financial year)
ReplyDeleteYou would be eligible to apply depending on the income earned between 1/4/11 to 31/3/12, only problem u may would be seeking a home loan, as that depends on the current income.
