The brochure states that the earnest money can be paid through demand draft or by RTGS/NEFT to the specified HIMUDA bank account. Applicants using electronic payment must mention the transaction ID and date along with applicant, housing colony and property-category details in the application.
Applications without earnest money will not be entertained, and incomplete applications may be rejected.

| Property Cost | 10% EMD |
|---|---|
| ₹3.73 lakh | ₹37,300 |

| ₹36.58 lakh | ₹3,65,800 |
These calculations are based on the property costs stated in the supplied schedule. The actual amount payable should be checked against the allotment/application documents.
The allotment is made on a First Come First Serve basis .
HIMUDA will maintain a date-wise priority list , and the date on which an application is received at the HIMUDA Head Office will be treated as the date of priority.
If two or more applications are received on the same date for particular units, the allotment will be decided through a draw of lots by the committee . The brochure states that only the applicant's first choice will be considered in such a situation.
For the Partially Self Financing Scheme for ready-for-possession properties , the brochure specifies the following payment schedule:
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| With application | 10% earnest money |
| Within 45 days of allotment letter | 40% of cost, excluding earnest money |
| Remaining amount | 50% |
| Instalments | 10 half-yearly instalments |
| Interest on balance | 11% per annum |
Possession will be offered only after the prescribed payment and execution of the required Hire Purchase Tenancy Agreement within the stipulated period. The first half-yearly instalment becomes due six months from the date of allotment.
The HIMUDA brochure also contains a separate payment schedule for properties offered under the Partially Self Financing Scheme for under-construction units .
Under this schedule:
The applicable payment schedule and dates are supplied with the allotment letter.
The brochure also specifies consequences for delayed payments.
Requests for extension beyond the prescribed due date may be considered subject to 14% annual interest . If the applicant defaults beyond the extended period, the allotment may be cancelled.
This is an important point that prospective applicants should consider while calculating the overall cost of a HIMUDA property.
The brochure contains separate provisions for withdrawal and cancellation.
Before allotment, an applicant may request a refund of earnest money in writing. However, 10% of the earnest money is deducted as administrative charges, along with applicable service tax as stated in the brochure.
After allotment, the deduction depends on when the applicant withdraws.
If the applicant withdraws within 30 days of the draw/allotment letter , 20% of the earnest money is liable to be forfeited.
If cancellation takes place after one month, the brochure provides for 50% forfeiture of earnest money , along with applicable interest provisions. After one year, the brochure states that the full earnest money may be forfeited , subject to the stated exceptions.
Before applying, prospective buyers should inspect the property and read the scheme brochure.
HIMUDA specifically states that applicants should inspect the site/unit before filling the application , and that allotment is made on an “as is where is” basis .
The brochure also states that the authority will not entertain representations regarding repairs for units offered on this basis.
The Kala Amb property is a plot rather than a completed flat. Applicants considering a HIMUDA residential plot should therefore pay attention to the additional construction conditions.
The brochure states that an allottee of a plot is required to construct the house within five years from the date of issue of the final allotment letter , after obtaining approval of the building plan from HIMUDA or the local authority, as applicable.
If construction is not completed within the prescribed period, the brochure provides for a levy of 5% of the plot cost per year , subject to the conditions and extension provisions stated in the document.
The HIMUDA brochure contains several additional conditions that can affect applicants and allottees.
The cost, completion period, number of units, plinth area and plot area are described as tentative and subject to variation depending on site conditions .
The authority also reserves provisions relating to transfer, mortgage, alteration and change of use . Residential units are required to be used for residential purposes, and certain transfers or alterations require prior permission from HIMUDA.
Documentation and registration expenses are to be borne by the allottee. The conveyance deed is executed after payment of the full cost of the unit.
For lease properties, the brochure also provides for ground rent , calculated at specified rates over different periods of the lease.
The supplied brochure does not specify a fixed application closing date for the FCFS inventory.
Since the allotment is based on the date of receipt of applications at the HIMUDA Head Office, applicants should check the latest HIMUDA notification, updated brochure and property availability before submitting an application.
The official HIMUDA website currently displays an updated First Come First Serve application form and brochure .
