MHADA Konkan Board launches ‘Book My Home' portal for sale of 13,395 unsold flats in Mumbai Metropolitan Region
The Konkan Housing and Area Development Board (KHADB), a subsidiary of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), on Wednesday initiated an online application process for the sale of 13,395 unsold flats in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) through the 'Book My Home' portal.
The portal and the application process were started on Wednesday by Sanjeev Jaiswal, Vice President and CEO, MHADA.
The portal enables potential homebuyers to see and choose flats in real time under the 'First Come, First Served' (FCFS) category.
Earlier, the applicants in the FCFS scheme had no control over which flat they would get. 'With the 'Book My Home' portal, applicants can now see the available flats in real time and select their desired unit and floor according to their eligibility. The portal also gives detailed information at the scheme and flat level, enabling users to make informed decisions,' said Revati Gaikar, Chief Officer, KHADB.
The unsold flats are within MHADA projects in Virar (Bolinj), Khoni, Shirdhon, Gotheghar, and Bhandarli. All these units fall under the MMR, with prices varying between Rs 17 lakh and Rs 30 lakh, subject to the area and location of the flat.
The whole process from registration to flat choice is entirely online, and there is no manual intervention. Candidates have to upload scanned copies of their Aadhaar card, PAN card, and self-declaration at the time of registration. These documents are automatically verified by a digital system, after which candidates can view the list of available flats.
Applicants, upon verification, can book a flat by choosing their desired unit from the available inventory in real time. The booking is done on an FCFS basis.

RBI buyback sees strong demand with bids doubling notified amount
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received bids Rs 53,031 crore against the notified amount of Rs 26,000 crore at the second buyback auction of this fiscal year. At the auction held on Thursday, the central bank accepted 99% of the notified amount. ADVERTISEMENT At the first buyback held last week, the RBI received bids worth Rs 27,256 crore, of which the central bank accepted Rs 23,856 crore or 95% of the notified amount, data showed. Buybacks are a way for the government to pay off debt for next fiscal year to reduce its gross borrowing. It also results in RBI infusing durable liquidity into the system. The RBI bought back five government bonds maturing in 2026 at Thursday's auction. The 5.63% 2026 government bond saw the highest demand with bids received at Rs 26,616 crore. Of this, the central bank accepted Rs17,402 crore. 'The strong demand at the buyback auction indicates that banks may have taken this opportunity to lighten their HTM book, especially because there are no OMOs on the horizon,' said Rajeev Pawar, head of treasury at Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. 'In a buyback, banks get to sell short-term bonds and replace them with longer maturity papers and lock-in yields. Further buyback auctions will depend on how the government spending pans out and on evolving liquidity conditions.' ADVERTISEMENT Bonds maturing in FY27 are more than double versus this year at Rs 6.48 lakh crore and are consistently high until 2032. The government has also budgeted Rs 2.5 lakh crore for bond switches this year, 60% more than the previous a bond switch, the government replaces bonds maturing in the near term with long-term debt. The RBI, on behalf of the government, is scheduled to conduct an auction on Monday to switch government securities worth Rs 25,000 crore. It will conduct the auction to switch nine government bonds maturing between 2026 and 2029 for papers with maturity between 2032 and 2062.
