Indiramma Towers 2nd Lottery: 1,920 Flats in 4 Seats
If you applied for an Indiramma Towers flat in LB Nagar, Goshamahal, Musheerabad or Chandrayangutta, the draw you have been waiting for is close. Here is what is confirmed, what is still pending, and what to keep ready before your name comes up.
When is the second lottery?
As of 26 October 2026, no date has been fixed. Reports say the lottery is likely in the week after the festival, but no official announcement on the date has come yet. Once the draw is over, officials plan to hand out sanction papers, and the government is expected to announce the date soon.
Watch the Telangana Housing Board’s own channels for the date. In the first round, the draw was livestreamed on the Housing Board website and on the department’s Facebook and Instagram handles under tghb.official.
The four sites and how many flats
Each of the four constituencies gets 480 flats as part of the pilot, for a total of 1,920 units. The sites are Amangal in Hayathnagar (LB Nagar), Nampally (Goshamahal), Zamistanpur RTC Quarters (Musheerabad) and Bandlaguda near Falaknuma (Chandrayangutta).
| Constituency | Tower site | Flats |
|---|---|---|
| LB Nagar | Amangal, Hayathnagar | 480 |
| Goshamahal | Nampally | 480 |
| Musheerabad | Zamistanpur (RTC Quarters) | 480 |
| Chandrayangutta | Bandlaguda, near Falaknuma | 480 |
The towers will have a stilt level plus 10 floors. Flats in the first round were 528 sq ft built-up with a 400 sq ft carpet area, and had a hall, kitchen and one bedroom.
Applications for these four seats closed some time ago. The government extended the deadline in these four constituencies to September 20. If you did not apply by then, you cannot enter this draw.
Your odds may be better here
Competition in these four seats appears lower than in the first round. ETV Bharat reports that competition for flats in the four constituencies is low, and that the lottery is planned within a week after the festival. For comparison, the first round drew 60,720 applications for 7,340 units.
How the shortlist works
The Housing Board has not published separate rules for this round. The first round, run by the same board under the same scheme, is the best guide to what to expect.
1. Scrutiny and SMS. Officials are checking applications in the field. Eligible applicants get an SMS, and rejected applicants are told the reason.
2. Applicant list and objections. In the first round, applicant details went online on ts.meeseva.telangana.gov.in, tghb.cgg.gov.in and tghb.telangana.gov.in, and objections could be filed before the final list was announced. Check your name, family details and address carefully during this window, because it is the cheapest time to fix a mistake.
3. The draw by category. The draw followed reservation categories, including SC, ST, BC and differently-abled persons, and a waiting list of 20 per cent was prepared for each category. In practice, 600 people were shortlisted for every 480 flats. If a selected person was found ineligible in field verification, the flat went to someone from the remaining 120. So if your name is on the waiting list, you still have a real chance.
4. Field verification and letter. In the first round, allotment letters were issued only after field verification of the candidates picked in the draw.
5. First payment. First-round winners had to pay ₹1 lakh after getting a provisional allotment. The Housing Board extended that payment deadline to October 9 for provisional allottees in the 16 constituencies. Those who did not pay risked losing their provisional allotment. Expect a similar deadline in this round, so arrange the money early.
If you get a rejection message
Some first-round winners were surprised after the draw. A few lucky draw winners in the GHMC area got rejection messages instead of provisional allotment letters. The Housing Board explained the reasons and offered a constituency change option. If this happens to you, go to the Housing Board office in person with your papers. Don’t rely on agents.
Who is eligible
To qualify, you must:
- Have lived in Hyderabad’s CURE area for at least 10 years
- Not own a house, flat or plot within ORR/CURE limits, either yourself or anyone in your family
- Have an annual household income of up to ₹6 lakh
Each family can apply only once and receive only one flat.
What it costs
The government gives ₹5 lakh free per house. Since the total cost is about ₹11 lakh, the remaining ₹6 lakh is collected from the beneficiary in four instalments, and the ₹10,000 you paid at the start is deducted from that amount. If you are not sanctioned a house, the ₹10,000 is refunded.
The flat is registered in the name of the woman of the family. It cannot be sold for 10 years, but it can be mortgaged for a bank loan.
What to keep ready now
- Your MeeSeva application receipt and the receipt for the ₹10,000 payment
- Aadhaar for every family member listed in the application
- Proof of 10 years’ residence in the CURE area
- The woman applicant’s bank account details, with her name matching her Aadhaar exactly
- About ₹1 lakh set aside for the first instalment
- Your registered mobile number, switched on, because the SMS is how the board contacts you
Avoid brokers
The board has warned applicants more than once. Beneficiaries were asked to trust only the allotment letter, notices from authorised Housing Board officials, and information on the Telangana Housing Board website. Brokers can be reported to Housing Board officials or the police. For questions, the scheme’s dedicated helpline is 040-24603572.
The Hyderabad towers are separate from the regular district housing scheme. If you also applied during Praja Palana for a house elsewhere in Telangana, check your Indiramma Illu status separately on the official portal.
