The oversubscription math, shown in full
The one number this scheme will be remembered for is the applicant pool: a reported 1,05,842 to 1,10,034 applications chasing 973 plots Reported. Divide it out and you get ≈108.8 to ≈113.1 applicants per plot Computed — comfortably past a 100:1 oversubscription however you slice the range. Two honesty notes before anyone quotes that: the two ends of the range come from different outlets citing different exact counts (DeveloperPlots and Yamuna Authority Plots at 1,05,842; TV9 Hindi at 1,10,034), and YEIDA has not published one consolidated figure we could independently confirm. So the defensible sentence is "a reported 1.06–1.10 lakh applications, roughly 108–113 per plot" — not a single crisp number.
What that ratio does and doesn't signal — demand context, supply-side data, and the three realistic paths for the ~99% of applicants who walked away with a refund — is covered in our companion piece, Didn't Win the RPS-10/2026 Draw? What to Do Next. This page stays on the numbers.
Sectors: what's confirmed, and the split we won't invent
Confirmed The scheme covers Sectors 15C, 18 and 24A — that much is consistent across every outlet that covered the draw. Gap The plot count per individual sector is a different matter: it lives in the scheme brochure's plot list, and no independent outlet we could verify republished it. Rather than reverse-engineer a split, we're naming it plainly: sector-wise split — per the RPS-10/2026 scheme brochure at yamunaexpresswayauthority.com. If you're citing this page, cite the total (973) and the three sector names; pull the per-sector table from the brochure itself.
One corridor note that is confirmed: Sector 18 also appeared in the previous residential scheme, RPS-08/2024, alongside Sectors 16, 20 and 22D Confirmed (official 2024 brochure) — making it the one sector with plots on offer in both of YEIDA's last two residential schemes. Sectors 15C and 24A were not named in RPS-08/2024.
Deposit and refund mechanics
The application structure: a ₹600 (incl. GST) non-refundable brochure/application fee Reported (Invest YEIDA; Dainik Jagran), plus a 10% registration deposit scaled to the module applied for. At the ₹36,260/sqm scheme rate, that deposit works out to ₹5,87,412 for a 162 sqm module and ₹10,51,540 for a 290 sqm module Computed — arithmetic that matches the ₹5.87–10.51 lakh figures reported by TV9 Hindi and Dainik Jagran.
For unsuccessful applicants the deposit comes back in full, automatically, to the registered bank account. The refund timeline is the data sheet's weakest figure: one source says 30–45 days from the draw, another 30–60 days, and no official YEIDA circular confirming an exact number was recovered in this review Gap — so treat "60 days after 18 June 2026" as the outer marker to follow up by, not a promise. The full refund walkthrough, including what to check on the portal, is in the next-steps guide.
Where ₹36,260/sqm sits in the confirmed rate series
RPS-10/2026's rate is the newest point in a rate series that — verified honestly — has only three dated, primary-source points across eight years: ₹17,800–17,400/sqm (FY2021-22 office order), ₹25,900/sqm (RPS-08/2024 brochure), and ₹36,260/sqm now Confirmed. That's roughly +46–49% from 2021 to 2024 and a further ~40% from 2024 to 2026 Computed — with 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2025 all named gaps in the public record, not zero-change years. The full series, its caveats, and why a base annual rate and scheme premiums aren't a perfectly clean trend line, is documented in YEIDA Corridor Price History 2019–2026.
