The Telangana government has extended the deadline for payment of the allotment amount for Indiramma Towers flats to October 9, after only 3,271 of 5,501 provisional allottees (59.46 per cent) paid the required Rs 1 lakh. Provisional allotment letters were issued to beneficiaries across 16 Assembly constituencies in the Core Urban Region (CURE).

Kukatpally recorded the highest payment percentage at 81.05 per cent, while Khairtabad recorded the lowest at 17.16 per cent. Telangana Housing Board Vice Chairman VP Gautam warned that no further extension will be granted and urged beneficiaries to pay to avoid cancellation of their allotment.
Residing in a different constituency was the top reason for rejection of applications. A draw of lots will be conducted for approximately 35,000 eligible applicants in the coming months, subject to flat availability and rules.
The 40.54 per cent non-payment rate among provisional allottees suggests significant hurdles in the transition from selection to possession. The extension to October 9 is a final chance, and if many still fail to pay, those flats will be reassigned from a waiting list of 35,000 eligible applicants. The high variation in payment percentages across constituencies, from 81 per cent in Kukatpally to just 17 per cent in Khairtabad, indicates local factors, possibly awareness, affordability, or alternative housing, that the Housing Board may need to address before the next round of allotments.
