All  the  Statutory  towns  as  per  Census-2011  and  towns  notified subsequently  including  notified  Planning/Development  areas  are eligible for coverage in the Mission.  The areas falling within notified Planning/Development  area  under  the  jurisdiction  of  an  Industrial Development  Authority/Special  Area  Development  Authority/Urban Development Authority or any such Authority under State Legislation which are entrusted with the functions of urban planning and regulations are also eligible for coverage under the PMAY (U). A  total  of  4327  cities/towns  have  so  far  been  included  under  the PMAY (U).

Under  the  PMAY  (U),  the  States/UTs  formulate  project  proposals based  on  the  demand  for  housing  assessed  by  them  which  are approved  by  the  State  Level  Sanctioning  &  Monitoring  Committee (SLSMC)  of the State. After approval from the  SLSMC,  the States/UTs submit proposals to this Ministry for approval of central assistance.
