## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a)  to  (d):    Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  is  implementing Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana  -  Urban  (PMAY-U)  'Housing  for  All'  Mission since  25.06.2015 for  giving  Central  Assistance  to  States/  Union  Territories (UTs) for providing all-weather pucca houses to all eligible urban beneficiaries. The  scheme  is  implemented  through  four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP),

In-Situ  Slum  Redevelopment  (ISSR)  and  Credit  Linked  Subsidy  Scheme (CLSS).  The  eligibility  criteria  for  allotment  of  houses  under  BLC/ISSR/AHP

verticals of PMAY-U to the beneficiaries are as under:

- (i)  Not  owning  pucca  house  in  his/her  name  or  any  other  family member's name, anywhere in India.
- (ii)  Belonging  to  Economically  Weaker  Section  (EWS)  with  annual household income of upto ₹3 lakh.
- (iii)  Ownership  of  land  to  avail  benefit  under  BLC  component  of  the Mission.

The  PMAY-U  proposals  are  approved  by  the  State  Level  Sanctioning  and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC) headed by the Chief Secretary of States/UTs for  further  sanctioning  of  Central  Assistance  by  Central  Sanctioning  and Monitoring  Committee  (CSMC).  For  transparent  selection  of  beneficiaries, scrutiny  of  beneficiaries  is  done  at  multiple  levels  in  the  States/UTs  for approval. Selection of beneficiaries under BLC/ISSR vertical is done at the initial stage of project formulation. Under the AHP vertical, the beneficiaries are shortlisted through a transparent allotment process by the implementing agencies  after  start  of  construction  work  at  site.  However,  during  the project period,  if  any  beneficiary  under  AHP  vertical  is  unable  to  pay  their own  contribution  or  found  ineligible,  other  eligible  beneficiaries  from  the waiting list prepared by the implementing agencies at the time of allotment, are considered for allotment of AHP houses. From time to time, addition/deletion  of  beneficiaries,  if  requested  by  States/UTs  in  already sanctioned projects, are done with the prior approval of respective SLSMC. State-wise details of houses sanctioned for beneficiaries including Kerala is at  Annexure-I.  The  total  number  of  houses  sanctioned,  grounded  and completed/delivered under PMAY-U for the city of Kozhikode is at AnnexureII.

- (e)  &  (f):  Any  instance  of  irregularity/complaint/representation  regarding PMAY-U including those of ineligible applicants during the entire course of implementation are addressed through suitable grievance redressal system available at both State/UT and City level as per existing rules and regulations. Moreover, a Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) is also available to the citizens to lodge their grievances  to  the  public  authorities  on  any  subject  related  to  service delivery including PMAY-U for redressal. Further, MoHUA has also developed a Public Grievances Redress and Monitoring System for registering any form of complaints regarding implementation of PMAY-U and its speedy disposal.
