The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has successfully launched its One-Time Settlement (OTS)-2026 scheme, which aims to alleviate the financial burden on property allottees by waiving accumulated dues. So far, the LDA has generated demands totaling ₹31.18 crore as hundreds of residents have participated in the initiative. A significant case involved Shiv Pratap Singh, who received a waiver of nearly ₹37 lakh, reducing his total liability from ₹2.36 crore due to accumulated interest. LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar acknowledged the positive response at a recent event, where beneficiaries were awarded certificates for their participation. As of now, 573 applications have been submitted, with 566 already processed, indicating strong community interest in securing ownership rights. The scheme, which began on April 18, 2023, will remain open until July 17, 2026, and aims to provide relief to individuals struggling with rising dues. Beneficiaries from various schemes, including those in Gomti Nagar and Kanpur Road, have received waivers ranging from ₹58,000 to ₹90,000. To facilitate the process, the LDA has established a dedicated help desk and organized special camps to assist applicants.
