- (a) :  As  per  Census  2011,  State/Union  Territory  (UT)-wise  details  of kutcha  (or  non-pucca/semi-pucca)  versus  pucca  houses  is  at Annexure-I.
- to  (e):  'Land'  and  'Colonisation'  are  State  subjects.  Schemes related to housing in their respective areas are implemented by States/UTs  with  their  own  financial  resources  and  beneficiary contribution,  if  applicable.  However,  Ministry  of  Housing  and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is supplementing the efforts of States/UTs by  providing  Central  Assistance  on  grant  basis  under  Pradhan Mantri  Awas  Yojana  -Urban  (PMAY-U)  since  June  25,  2015  to provide  pucca  house  with  basic  amenities  to  all  eligible  urban
- (b) beneficiaries.

PMAY-U  adopts  a  demand  driven  approach  wherein  States/UTs have been empowered to recommend the projects to the Ministry forall  eligible  beneficiaries  identified  by  them  through  a  demand survey based on the eligibility criteria.

Government  of  India  is  providing  its  fixed  share  as  Central Assistance of ₹1.0 lakh under In-Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR), ₹1.5 lakh for Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP) and Beneficiary  Led  Individual  House  Construction  or  Enhancement (BLC) verticals of  PMAY-U. Under  Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) vertical of PMAY-U, an interest subsidy at the rate of 6.5% which amounts  upto ₹2.67 lakh per house is provided for beneficiaries  of  Economically  Weaker  Sections  (EWS)  and  Low Income Group (LIG) category. The remaining cost of the house as per  Detailed  Project  Report(DPR)  is  shared  by  States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Beneficiaries. Being a demand driven scheme,  PMAY-U  does  not  have  any  fixed  year-wise  target  for construction  of  pucca  houses.  However,  the  year-wise  physical and financial progress is at Annexure-II.
