IDLI has been launched in DDA for  quick  processing  of  conversion  cases.  The   IDLI  System  facilitated ease  of  applying  conversion  application  and  fast  processing  of  the cases.  In Housing Department, the same process is being followed on the Citizen Services Portal which is an end-to-end web based online portal.

(b) DDA  has  informed  that  processing  of Conversion  Applications through  online  mode  by  IDLI  System  &  Citizen  Services  portal is  being carried  out  and  thus  making  freehold  /  conversion  more  accessible and user friendly which is convenient to the applicants.

Monitoring  of  flouting  of  such developmental norms in notified areas under jurisdiction of DDA is done by DDA and necessary action for the same is taken periodically.

(d) No such proposal is under consideration of DDA.

(e) DDA  has  informed  that  processing  of Conversion  Applications through  online  mode  by  IDLI  System &  Citizen  Services  portal  is  being carried  out  and  thus  making  freehold  /  conversion  more  accessible.
