(a)&(b)  'Land'  and  'colonization'  being  State  subjects,  the  primary responsibility of undertaking surveys and assessment about the need for urban dwellings for different segments of the society lies with the State Governments. However, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (erstwhile Ministry of Housing and Urban  Poverty Alleviation) constituted a Technical Group (TG-12) on estimation of Urban Housing shortage of the country for the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17). As per the Report of this Committee, the total housing shortage at the beginning of the 12 th Plan period i.e. in 2012, was 18.78 million.

After  launch  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana-Urban  (PMAY-U)on 25.06.2015,  States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  have  been  requested  to undertake  demand  survey  for  assessing  demand  of  housing  in  urban areas. The assessed demand reported by States/UTs so far is around 112

lakh.

State-wise Urban Housing shortage estimated by Technical Group on  estimation  of  Urban  Housing  and  Distribution  of  Housing  Shortage and demand assessed by States/UTs under PMAY-U are at Annexure-I.

(c)&(d)  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  has  been implementing PMAY-U for addressing the housing requirement of eligible beneficiaries of EWS/ Low Income Group (LIG), as per scheme guidelines,  in  urban  areas.  Scope  of  Credit  Linked  Subsidy  Scheme (CLSS)  under  PMAY-Uwas  extended  to  include  Middle  Income  Group (MIG)with  effect  from  01.01.2017.Under  the  scheme,  about  110  lakh houses have been sanctioned so far as per details at Annexure - II.
