Haryana has introduced Aadhaar authentication in its affordable housing e-draw portal to eliminate irregularities and improve transparency in allotments. This automated verification cross-checks applicant details against Aadhaar records, preventing duplicates and ineligible applications. The move addresses problems faced during the 2023 Aster Avenue 36 housing draw, where technical glitches affected applicant eligibility and created confusion. By streamlining the verification process and integrating historical data, Haryana aims to ensure a fair and efficient housing allotment system that restores public trust in its affordable housing schemes.
The Haryana government has linked its affordable housing e-draw portal, TCP Haryana, with Aadhaar authentication to tackle irregularities and boost transparency in housing allotments. The enhanced system will automatically verify applicant information such as name, address, and mobile number against Aadhaar records, minimising manual errors and ensuring only eligible applicants proceed in the draw.

This step follows concerns arising from the 2023 housing draw for Aster Avenue 36 in Sector 36, Sohna. During that event, a technical error restricted eligibility to approximately 2,200 applicants out of 51,000, based on address data. Further investigations revealed 26 applicants featured in both the original and revised shortlists, leading to increased scrutiny.
To prevent recurrence, the new Aadhaar-linked system will cross-reference applicants against previous affordable housing allotments, automatically rejecting ineligible entries and blocking duplicate applications. Historic applicant data from earlier schemes is being incorporated into the system to enhance accuracy and fairness while reducing administrative burdens.
The introduction of this technology-driven verification process is expected to strengthen the integrity of the allotment mechanism, ensuring deserving applicants receive housing opportunities and reducing scope for manipulation.
By integrating Aadhaar authentication with the affordable housing e-draw portal, Haryana has taken a decisive step towards transparent and accountable housing allotments. This move leverages technology to close loopholes that previously allowed irregularities, reinforcing public confidence in the system. Beyond resolving past issues, it sets a benchmark for other states seeking to modernise their housing allocation frameworks. With increased efficiency and fairness, this initiative promises to improve the equitable distribution of affordable homes, advancing Haryana's commitment to inclusive urban development.
