Upper-floor residents in Dharavi, Mumbai, can apply for 300 sq ft homes under a new Maharashtra government resolution, provided they can prove occupancy before November 15, 2022. This marks a significant shift in slum rehabilitation policies, as it is the first time upper-floor residents are included. However, their eligibility is closely tied to the ground-floor occupant's qualifications, creating a potential barrier for many. If the ground-floor unit does not qualify, upper-floor applicants relying on affidavits, which are considered low-priority proof, will be disqualified. The project is managed by Navbharat Mega Developers Private Ltd, with an 80% stake held by an Adani Group entity. Eligible beneficiaries will be offered homes outside Dharavi within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with options for a hire-purchase model or upfront payment. Each upper-floor unit must submit independent documentation to qualify, and the policy restricts allotment to one unit per family, disallowing multiple claims by spouses or children. This initiative sets a precedent in India's slum rehabilitation landscape but emphasizes the importance of documentary evidence for eligibility.
