THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI DEEPA DASMUNSHI)

(a) & (b) : No, Madam.

( c ) : Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has stated that as per policy, whenever any allotment is made to an allottee, DDA takes an Affidavit from him before giving possession, which stipulates that:

“I, or my wife/husband or any of my dependent relations including children do not own in full or in part on freehold or leasehold basis any residential plot or house in the urban area of Delhi, New Delhi or Delhi Cantonment”.

As a remedial measure if anybody makes false affidavit or conceals the facts and any complaint is received from any person with documentary proof/evidence of the allottee already owning house in Delhi, the said allotted flat is liable to be cancelled after following the due process of law. DDA also files First Information Report(FIR) with the Police Authorities for taking action against such unscrupulous persons as per the various provisions of the Indian Penal Code/Criminal Procedure Code.

(d)&(e) : DDA has further informed that no such case has come to its notice during the last three years and in the current year.
