(a) whether MPD 2021 has laid down any schemes for maintenance or repair of DDA Flats of various categories with more than 15 years of age of construction;
(b) if so, the details thereof; and
(c) if not, the alternatives available to the owners/occupied of such flats for maintenance and repair of structures which are commonly used by all the occupiers of different categories of flats in the same building?
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT ( SHRI AJAY MAKEN )
(a)&(b): No, Sir. The responsibility of the Delhi Development
Authority (DDA) for maintenance or repair of flats of various
categories, allotted by it, is only for six months after the
possession is handed over to the allottees.
However, the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD), 2021 provides
that the flats built by DDA, particularly those, which have
become aged, may be redeveloped with permission and subject to
the condition that the structural safety of other flats is not
impinged. Already developed group housing inclusive of public
(DDA and others), co-operative housing may be redeveloped on the
basis of prescribed norms and regulations by formulating
co-operative societies or self-managing communities.
(c): As regards the other alternatives available to the
owners/occupiers of such flats, the maintenance of common
services within the building is the responsibility of Resident
Welfare Association and the maintenance of the internal services
like water supply, sewerage, drainage, roads etc., is the
responsibility of DDA till such time these are handed over to
Delhi Jal Board/ Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
