Noida Authority will be informing the applicants for the scheme through a public notice as well as individually. Since the applications for this scheme were received by various banks, a large number of applicants had not mentioned their IT pan numbers and complete addresses.

In certain cases, more than one member of the same family had applied.

The CEO said the three-member committee, appointed by the High Court, has laid down the procedure to be followed for conducting the draw.

The total number of 1,250 plots has been completed now after some adjustments. Half of the plots--625 are reserved for the applicants from ST, SC category while the other 625 are for the general category of applicants.

Noida chief executive said the draw this time would be conducted in absolutely fair and transparent manner under the supervision of the committee members and in presence of members from the public and the media.

The department heads of Noida Authority are examining the applications and will issue the needed certificates. A large number of applications were not in order, for instance 117 minors had also applied while 228 multiple applications had been received.

Other important decisions taken by the Board today pertained to D.S. Road, sports city and Abadi land.

Now Noida Administrative offices will be constructed in Sector-44 on Expressway near Maha Maya College instead of city centre in Sector-32 which will now be developed as a grand commercial market, the chief executive officer said.
