The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Sunday said that it will allow merging two flats offered under the ongoing ‘first come, first serve’ scheme for allotting 5,600 flats.
Officials said that this has been done to give applicants flexibility to modify and increase living area in the flats allotted to them.
“If an applicant happens to buy two adjacent flats on offer in this scheme of FCFS Phase IV, he has the liberty of amalgamating the two by opening a common door through the common wall between them, subject to necessary structural approvals,” said a DDA spokesperson.
Officials added that this is applicable to all localities and all types of flats on offer under the scheme. The offer will also be extended to applicants who buy a new flat adjacent to a flat which they already own from an earlier scheme.

Under the scheme, 1BHK flats are available in Narela, Siraspur, Rohini and Lok nayak Puram; 2BHK units have been offered in Narela and Dwarka while 3BHK flats are available in Jasola.
