Telangana Indiramma Low Income Group Housing Scheme

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Telangana Indiramma Low Income Group Housing Scheme is a flagship affordable housing initiative launched by the Telangana Government to help eligible low-income families own a permanent house in Hyderabad. Implemented by the Telangana Housing Board (TGHB), the scheme offers affordable 1 BHK ownership flats under the pilot phase in the Hyderabad CURE Area. To reduce the financial burden on beneficiaries, the Government provides ₹5 lakh financial assistance for each eligible flat, while the beneficiary is required to contribute the remaining prescribed amount. The scheme aims to make quality urban housing affordable through planned multi-storey residential housing projects.

Under the first phase of the Telangana Indiramma Indlu LIG Housing Scheme, a total of 7,680 affordable flats are being offered across 16 Assembly Constituencies in the Hyderabad CURE Area. Each flat has a built-up area of 528 sq. ft. and an approximate carpet area of 400 sq. ft. The scheme is available to eligible families residing in the Hyderabad CURE Area who meet the prescribed income and residence conditions, do not own a house, flat or residential plot within the notified area, and have not previously received benefits under a similar Government housing scheme. Reservation benefits are also available for eligible applicants belonging to SC, ST, BC, Persons with Disabilities, Government outsourcing employees, Class IV employees, sanitation workers and other notified categories.

Eligible applicants can submit the Indiramma LIG Housing Scheme application through the MeeSeva Portal, MeeSeva Centres or the official MeeSeva WhatsApp service during the notified application period. Applications are verified through a transparent scrutiny process, and if the number of eligible applications exceeds the available flats, beneficiaries are selected through a computerised lottery. Applicants are required to pay the prescribed application fee and Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), while the remaining beneficiary contribution is payable in stages as construction progresses.

After launching the first phase of the Telangana Indiramma Low Income Group Housing Scheme across 16 Assembly Constituencies in the Hyderabad CURE Area, the Telangana Housing Board issued a new notification for additional locations. Under this notification, the Board invited applications for 480 affordable ownership flats in each of four additional Assembly Constituencies, LB Nagar, Goshamahal, Musheerabad and Chandrayangutta, taking the total number of flats under the new notification to 1,920. Each flat has a registrable area of 528 sq. ft., with a ₹5 lakh Government subsidy and a tentative beneficiary contribution of ₹6 lakh. The application process under this notification was conducted through MeeSeva, with 3 September 2026 as the last date for submitting applications. For the first phase covering 16 Assembly Constituencies, the last date for submitting applications was 15 August 2026.

Another important feature of the LIG Indiramma Indlu scheme is that the allotted flat will be registered in the name of the eligible woman of the family. The property cannot be sold, transferred or leased for 10 years from the date of allotment, ensuring that the benefits reach genuine families and promote long-term home ownership. This article covers the eligibility criteria, benefits, reservation policy, documents required, application process, payment schedule, important dates and other official guidelines related to the scheme.

Latest Update:

The Telangana Housing Board has started issuing allotments to eligible beneficiaries under the Indiramma Indlu LIG Housing Scheme from 21 September 2026. The authority has also sent SMS and WhatsApp messages to beneficiaries whose flats have been allotted, informing them about their allotment.

The authority has also invited objections against the allotment/lottery selection. Beneficiaries and applicants can check their allotment status and use the objection facility provided by the Telangana Housing Board.

This makes the current status clear: allotment has started, selected beneficiaries are being informed through SMS and WhatsApp, and the objection process is also open.
