The draw for allocaion of flats was held on 20.1.1983 and the estimated cost of the flats was shown to be Rs.3,81,900/-. But, the construction of the flats got delayed and was completed only in 1996. The costing of these Cat.III SFS multi-storey flats at Motia Khan was finally approved in 1998 for the original allottees that varied from Rs.23.86 lakhs to Rs.26.92 lakhs depending upon the variation in the plinth area.
