Balloting of I-15 flats on 24th

ISLAMABAD—The Capital Development Authority (CDA) would hold computer balloting for 1-15 flats and plots on November 24, it is learnt.
Chairman CDA Kamran Lashari said that CDA has received 3 and half lakh application for 8000 plots and nine thousand applications for 5500 flats respectively. The CDA will allot 8000 plots ranging between 139 to 200 square yards, and two-bedroom 5500 flats, each covering an area of 1,300 square feet, to the successful applicants. The lists of the successful candidates will be displayed outside the designated braches of Habib Bank soon after the ballot, said a CDA official.
He said I-15 would be developed in almost three years, and plots and flats would be allotted to the owners once the development work is completed.
Prime minister Shaukat Aziz recently launched I-15 for low-income groups after a delay of almost 17 years. The scheme is launched to provide houses to government employees from Grade 1 to 16 and people with annual incomes not exceeding Rs 150,000, who neither owned nor had been allotted a residential plot, house or flat in Islamabad in their name or in the name of their spouse or children.
The CDA has reserved 25 per cent of plots and flats for government servants including employees of autonomous bodies and 29 per cent for armed forces personnel. Successful applicants who had paid 25 per cent of total cost of the plot or flat at the time of form submission, would have to pay 25 per cent at the time of allotment and remaining 50 per cent in the next six months.—Online
