## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

- (a): The details are given at the Annexure.
- (b) & (c): Government of Maharashtra provided additional subsidy to Revised  Integrated  Housing  Scheme(RIHS)  of  Ministry  of  Labour  & Employment. But now RIHS has been converged with Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which is a Universal Housing Scheme.   So, It is not possible  to replicate this  model.
