The ₹10,000 application fee for the Bhubaneswar Development Authority’s (BDA) Ekamra Residency housing project in Subudhipur will be adjusted or refunded in relation to the flat’s cost. The decision was made at the 153rd Authority Meeting, which was presided over by Dr. Krushna Chandra Mahapatra, the BDA Chairman and Minister of Housing and Urban Development. MLA Ekamra Babu Singh, Jatni Municipality Chairman Ananta Behera, Housing and Urban Development Additional Chief Secretary Usha Padhee, BDA Vice-Chairman Chanchal Rana, and other high-ranking officials were present at the meeting.
The sum will be offset against the cost of the flat payable under the scheme for successful applicants, subject to the Authority’s approval. The full Rs 2.1 lakh deposit return will be given to applicants who are not selected. Along with a five percent stamp duty exemption, successful applicants will also be exempt from the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The apartments will have free maintenance for a year and be offered on a freehold basis. The apartments are prepared for occupancy. The scheme is now accepting applications for the distribution of apartments.
Ekamra Residency, located on 7.36 acres in Subudhipur, is made up of three residential buildings with roomy two-bedroom and two-bedroom plus study apartments. With top-notch features like a swimming pool, gymnasium, community hall, children’s play area, jogging track, sewage treatment plant, water recharge system, power backup, CCTV surveillance, fire safety systems, and other supporting infrastructure, the project has been designed to offer a contemporary and sustainable living experience.
