In a major relief for residents of Delhi’s unauthorized colonies, the PM-UDAY (Pradhan Mantri – Unauthorized Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana) has enabled thousands of people to gain legal ownership of their homes. This ambitious central government scheme, implemented by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), aims to formalize housing rights for lakhs of families living in unauthorized areas.
Under the scheme, residents can now claim ownership of their property through a simple digital process. By checking their home’s status on the UC Locator and registering via the official PM-UDAY mobile app, beneficiaries can begin the process of legal recognition.
The scheme not only grants legal ownership but also ensures access to basic infrastructure and services, paving the way for a safer and more stable living environment.
“With legal ownership, families can now proudly call their home their own. This step brings dignity, security, and access to formal services,” a DDA official said.
The PM-UDAY mobile app, developed with support from BISAG-N and the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, allows users to upload documents, check colony eligibility, and monitor application status — all in one place.
Key Benefits of PM-UDAY:
Legal title and property rights
Government-approved identity for homes
Easier access to loans, water, electricity, and sanitation
Peace of mind and secure future
The government has urged residents of unauthorized colonies to not miss this opportunity. If you're unsure whether your home falls within the UC boundaries, simply download the PM-UDAY app and check today.
“Why wait? Claim your legal rights, secure your home, and live with peace,” reads the DDA’s latest message to the public.
