What is PMAY?
PMAY stands for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which is a flagship housing scheme launched by the Government of India in June 2015. The scheme aims to provide housing to the urban poor population in the country. The main objective of PMAY is to ensure that every Indian citizen has a pucca house with basic facilities by 2022, which marks the 75th anniversary of India's independence. Under this scheme, the government provides financial assistance to eligible beneficiaries to construct or purchase their own house. The official website of PMAY is pmaymis.gov.in
PMAY is divided into two categories- PMAY-U (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban) and PMAY-G (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin).
PMAY-U focuses on providing affordable housing to the urban poor. While PMAY-G focuses on providing housing to the rural poor.
PMAY-U is divided into two components - PMAY-U (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme) and PMAY-U (Affordable Housing in Partnership). Under the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme, the government provides interest subsidies on home loans taken by eligible beneficiaries from banks and financial institutions. The subsidy is given for a max of 20 years or the tenure of the loan, whichever is lower. The amount of subsidy depends on the income of the beneficiary and the size of the house.
Under the Affordable Housing in Partnership component, the government provides financial assistance to eligible beneficiaries to build their own house. The assistance is provided in the form of a grant. The grant is 50% of the project cost, subject to Rs. 1.5 lakh per house.
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin financial assistance to eligible beneficiaries to construct or renovate their houses in rural areas. The assistance is provided in the form of a grant, which is Rs. 1.2 lakh for the construction of a new house and Rs. 30,000 for the renovation of an existing house.
PMAY is imposed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs with the State Governments, Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), and other stakeholders. The scheme has made progress in providing affordable housing to the urban and rural poor in the country and is expected to achieve its target of providing housing for all by 2022.
