The August 2026 scheme includes homes for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS).
CIDCO defines EWS applicants for this scheme as those with annual family income of ₹6 lakh or below. Applicants whose total family annual income exceeds ₹6 lakh fall under the non-EWS category.
However, income is not the only consideration. Applicants must satisfy the other conditions prescribed in the official CIDCO scheme booklet.
Applicants should therefore check the latest official eligibility conditions before submitting their application.
The August 2026 scheme follows a preference-based housing allocation process.
According to CIDCO, applicants can select up to 15 preferences from the available inventory during the preference window. After selecting preferences, the applicant must pay the applicable booking amount to qualify for the lottery. The allotment is then conducted through the CIDCO lottery process.
This means applicants should carefully consider their preferred project, tower and floor before submitting their preferences.
Eligible applicants can apply through the official CIDCO Homes portal.
Go to the official CIDCO housing website and select the August 2026 housing scheme.
Applicants can register using their mobile number and complete the required verification process.
Provide the required personal, address, income and other details requested in the application.
Submit the required identity, income and supporting documents according to the CIDCO scheme requirements.
