As per the norms of DDA nobody can purchase DDA two DDA flats in his/her name or his/her spouse name in delhi. In future if DDA transpried that you have two flats than DDA can take appropriate action and compell to surrender one flat but you need not worry. You can transfer one flat in favour of close relative through power of attorney and create third part interest

See, it seems from your query that- you have a confusion on owning 2 DDA flats. My submission is-
1. for allotment you are asked to give an affidavit that you do not own any DDA flat earlier, rationale behind is DDA cannot afford to allot more than one flat to one person as already bundles of request pending before it.
2. You have all right to buy as many property as you can legally buy. So whether 2/3 you can buy if not prohibited by the sellers condition or by-laws. For example- society laws prohibit you to own 2 flats in your name.
