The Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkho RAJUK (Capital Development Authority) has approved more than half of the online applications for home design. However, 81 applications were rejected as per rules due to various inconsistencies among the applications received online. Apart from this, 7 thousand 164 applications have been sent back to the applicant ID at various times due to non-submission of required documents by the concerned owner/representative.
