Under the December 2025 GDA scheme specifically, 2,986 units are priced at \u20b94.49 lakh total \u2014 with a \u20b92.5 lakh PMAY government subsidy available, bringing the net buyer cost to approximately \u20b91.99 lakh. This is one of the most affordable formal homeownership options in the Delhi-NCR region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is eligible for EWS flats in Wave City?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligibility for EWS flats in Wave City requires: (1) Annual household income up to \u20b93 lakh, (2) first-time homebuyer status \u2014 you or your spouse must not own any property anywhere in India, (3) Indian citizenship, (4) Aadhaar-linked bank account for PMAY subsidy. LIG eligibility follows the same criteria with an income ceiling of \u20b96 lakh per annum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I resell an EWS flat in Wave City?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EWS and LIG flats in Wave City come with a <strong>5-year resale lock-in period<\/strong> from the date of possession. You cannot sell or transfer the property during this period. After 5 years, the flat can be sold on the open market. This lock-in is standard across all GDA affordable housing schemes in Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Wave City EWS\/LIG RERA registered?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The RERA registration <strong>SECTOR-5-EWS\/LIG-PHASE-02<\/strong> is confirmed on the UP RERA portal (rera.up.nic.in) for Wave City&#8217;s Phase 2 EWS\/LIG units. Always verify the specific RERA number for any EWS\/LIG unit you are considering \u2014 private builders within Wave City have their own separate RERA registrations for their affordable housing components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is allotment done for EWS\/LIG flats?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Allotment of EWS\/LIG flats under the GDA scheme is done via a <strong>computerised lottery draw<\/strong>. Applications are collected during an open window, and then a transparent draw is conducted \u2014 all eligible applicants have an equal chance regardless of when they applied within the window. Results are published on the GDA portal. There is no waitlist \u2014 unsuccessful applicants must apply again in future schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#1a1a2e 0%,#16213e 100%);border-radius:8px;padding:20px 24px;margin:28px 0;border-left:5px solid #c9a84c\">\n<p style=\"color:#c9a84c;font-size:13px;font-weight:700;margin:0 0 6px 0;letter-spacing:0.5px\">\ud83c\udfe1 LOOKING TO BUY A PLOT IN WAVE CITY?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;margin:0 0 8px 0;line-height:1.4\">Get Expert Help \u2014 Plots from \u20b990,000\/sq yd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#cccccc;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px 0;line-height:1.6\">Wave City Ghaziabad plots are available across Sectors 1\u20137 starting from \u20b990,000 per sq yard.
