## 5419.   DR. BEESETTI VENKATA SATYAVATHI:

Will the Minister of RURAL DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state:

- (a) the reasons due to which out of the total 4.3 crore persons earmarked for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), only 2.32 crore have become eligible after verification by Gram Sabhas; and
- (b) the details of the number of beneficiaries rejected thereunder by Gram Sabhas on grounds of migration and death, State-wise?

## ANSWER

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

- (a)          The  identification  of  beneficiaries  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awaas  Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) is based on the housing deprivation parameters and exclusion criteria applied to Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 database, subject to due verification by Gram Sabha and completion of Appellate Process. The data of 4.04 crore households was derived from  the  SECC  2011  database,  which  was  sent  to  States/UTs  for  conducting  Gram  Sabha verification and Appellate Process. After exclusion of ineligible households by Gram Sabha and due appellate process, 2.95 crore households were found eligible for providing assistance under PMAY-G. Accordingly, the overall target of 2.95 crore households was set under the scheme.

Apart from the 13 point exclusion criteria applied to the SECC data, the States/ Union removed those households who already had their houses constructed and those who became ineligible  due  to  other  reasons  as  specified  in  the  the  Gram  Sabha  resolutions.  As  on 30.03.2022, after such process, a total of 2.15 crore households remain eligible from SECC 2011. Some of the major reasons for deletion of households by the Gram Sabha are:-

- i. Already has pucca house/availed under other scheme
- ii. Beneficiary died with no nominee in SECC list
- iii. Beneficiary migrated permanently
- iv. Beneficiary unwilling to construct house
- v. Beneficiary not-traceable
- vi. Beneficiary living in sensitive areas/ forest areas and unable to construct the house
- vii. Area classified from rural area to urban area/ planning area
8. (b)        A total of 10,65,869 households have been rejected/deleted from Permanent Wait List (PWL) of PMAY-G due to permanent migration. Further, a total of 4,26,698 households have been rejected/deleted from PWL  of  PMAY-G  due  to  death  of  beneficiary without nominee/heir. The State/UT-wise number of households rejected by Gram Sabhas on grounds of permanent migration and death of beneficiary without legal heir is given at Annexure.
