बिहार राज्य आवास बोर्ड — आवास आवंटन (ई-लॉटरी)

Likely activeApply on the official portal (opens in a new tab)

The Bihar State Housing Board (a statutory body established in 1972) develops integrated residential colonies — plots, flats and apartments across income categories (EWS / LIG / MIG / HIG) — and allots dwelling units to the public through a transparent online e-lottery. It also runs property e-auctions and lease-hold to free-hold conversion for existing allottees.

Eligibility
Open to the general public across income categories (EWS / LIG / MIG / HIG). Income eligibility for a given unit is set by the prevailing policy and stated in each project's advertisement / brochure. Key rule: if the applicant or any family member has already been allotted a dwelling unit or residential plot in any BSHB project, they are not eligible to apply again in a subsequent project. Applications are submitted online and units allotted by e-lottery.

Status evidence

Likely active

Likely active — the Bihar State Housing Board (est. 1972) operates an active official portal (bshb.bihar.gov.in) carrying schemes, online application, e-auction and lease-to-freehold modules, and has ongoing procurement (300+ live e-tenders, plus a proposed residential complex at Ara under environmental clearance). No scheme-wise budget line is published for the Board (its allotment activity is largely self-financing), and a specific current allotment/e-lottery advertisement could not be confirmed at verification, so this is likely_active rather than active.
