(b): Selection of beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) is based on housing deprivation parameters of SECC, 2011 subject to 13 point exclusion criteria followed by  Gram  Sabha  verification.  Households  that  are  houseless  or  having  zero,  one  or  two  room kutcha house (kutcha wall and kutcha roof) are provided financial assistance for construction of pucca house under PMAY-G. Under PMAY-G, a total of 5,27,552 houses has been allotted to the State of Tamil Nadu during the last three years and the current year. The district-wise details are given in Annexure-I .

(c)  to  (e): Yes.  In  order  to  include  eligible  households,  who  could  not  be  included  in  the Permanent  Wait  List  (PWL)  of  PMAY-G,  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  has  developed Awaas+ App for States to upload details of such identified potential households. A separate list of households affected by Gaza Cyclone has also been uploaded by the State on Awaas+ since they did not find any mention in PWL or Awaas+ earlier. The district-wise details on the data uploaded by Tamil Nadu are given in Annexure-II .  An  Expert  Committee in the Ministry of Rural Development is analyzing the data uploaded by the States in Awaas+.
