## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a), (e) & (f): Yes Sir. In order to achieve the target of 'Housing for All' in rural areas, the Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  Pradhan  Mantri  Awaas  Yojana-  Gramin (PMAY-G) with effect from 1 st April, 2016 to provide assistance to eligible rural households with  overall  target  to  construct  2.95  crore  pucca  houses  with  basic  amenities  by  March, 2024.   The  Government  is  committed to provide funds for achieving the targets as per the guidelines  of  the  Scheme.   The  Central  share  release  is  contingent  on  the  balance  targets, pending  liability,  utilization  of  funds  including  the  release  of  state  share,  submission  of utilization certificate, etc. as per Scheme & Ministry of Finance Guidelines.  The Ministry of Rural Development has been releasing Central share of funds to States/UTs for implementation of PMAY-G since 2016 and a total of Rs.1,79,255.80 crore of Central share has been released to States/UTs till date.

(b): No Sir. Under PMAY-G, out of the total targets allocated to the States/UTs till date, 2.44  crore  houses  have  been  sanctioned  by  the  states/UTs  and  1.89  crore  have  been completed  as  on  21.07.2022.   After  receiving   proposal, complete  in  all  respects,  from State/UT Governments, the Ministry releases Central share of funds to the States into their respective State treasuries.  Delay occurs on the part of the States in transferring Central share from State treasury in to State Nodal Account (SNA) of PMAY-G and also corresponding State share.  The delay of construction of houses occurs due to delay in sanction of houses to beneficiaries  by  States.   The  unspent  balances  lying  with  the  States/UTs  as  on  22.7.2022

(which includes funds released by the central government but pending in the state treasury and unreleased state share) are given in the Annexure.

(c) & (d): No Sir, The Ministry of Rural Development ensures timely release of Central share of funds under PMAY-G to States/UTs.  The Ministry expeditiously resolves technical issues, if any, faced by the States/UTs including issues related to PFMS.
