Dear client,


Buying a flat in Dwarka Vihar, which is one of Delhi's unauthorized colonies, comes with certain risks until the area is regularized under the PM-UDAY scheme. As of 2025, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is actively working to confer legal ownership rights to residents of 1,731 unauthorized colonies, including through single-window PM-UDAY camps and online application processes. Before considering a purchase, you must check on the official PM-UDAY website or mobile app if Dwarka Vihar is among the colonies covered by the scheme. Only after regularization will buyers enjoy secure legal title, eligibility for home loans, and approval for building plans. Until that happens, buying property involves risk—such as lack of clear title, difficulty in obtaining bank loans, and possible delays in getting municipal approvals. Sales in unauthorized colonies are often done through GPA or agreement to sell rather than a formal registry, so it's crucial to consult a property lawyer to scrutinize ownership documents. Once the colony is regularized and you receive the conveyance deed under PM-UDAY, your property rights will be secure, and you can register the deed with the sub-registrar to obtain full freehold status.
