The SRA provides slum dwellers with housing known as SRA housing. There are two types of SRA housing: one that is allocated to a slum dweller after they hand over their existing home, and housing that builders sell on the open market.

There are certain SRA rules and regulations for the purchase or sale of SRA housing:
1. There is a lock-up period for the beneficiary preventing them from selling the allocated SRA housing for 10 years.
2If the property is sold after 10 years, the state government is entitled to a share of the sales value. This component is called the transaction fee, which is deemed necessary at the time of property registration. This is equal to Stamp Duty or Rs 1 lakh, whichever is greater.
3. The SRA floor can only be purchased by domiciliary certificate holders.Also, the family may not own any other unit in the Mumbai suburbs.
4. The original seller may not purchase SRA floors.
5. The buyer must be from the economically vulnerable section (EWS), low-income group (LIG) or middle-income group (MIG).6. The contract of sale is issued in the name of the husband and wife. Affiliated companies or organizations are not permitted to purchase SRA floors.
