## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

- (a)  to  (g)  Ministry  of  Housing and Urban Affairs has been implementing Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana-Urban  (PMAY-U)  under  'Housing  for  All' Mission since June, 2015 by giving Central assistance to implementing agencies through States/ Union Territories (UTs) for providing all-weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries. The scheme has   four verticals namely (i) Beneficiary-led individual  house  construction  or  enhancement  (BLC)  (ii)  Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP) (iii) Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) and (iv) 'In-Situ' Slum Redevelopment (ISSR).

PMAY-U  is  a  demand  driven  scheme  and  Government  of  India  has  not fixed  any  target  for  construction  of  houses.  Based  on  the  project proposals submitted by States/ UTs, a total of 122.69 lakh houses were sanctioned up to 31.03.2022. Of the sanctioned houses, 107.55 lakh have been  grounded  for  construction;  of  which  68.02  lakh  are  completed/ delivered to beneficiaries as on 23.01.2023.

PMAY-U  scheme  period  has  been  extended  up  to  31.03.2024,  except Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) vertical, to complete all the houses sanctioned  till  31.03.2022  in  States/  UTs  without  changing  the  funding pattern and implementation methodology. During the extended period, no additional houses will be sanctioned. However, within an overall ceiling of  122.69  lakh  houses  sanctioned  till  31.03.2022,  States/  UTs  may  be sanctioned houses under BLC vertical against curtailment of non-starter houses under BLC, AHP and ISSR verticals of PMAY-U.

States/ UTs have been advised to expedite the construction of sanctioned houses so that all houses are completed within the stipulated timeline  as  per  Detailed  Project  Reports.  Ministry  regularly  monitors progress of the scheme  through  periodic review meetings, videoconferences and field visits.

Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has launched Affordable Rental  Housing  Complexes  (ARHCs)  on  31.07.2020  as  a  sub-scheme  of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) to provide dignified living to  urban  migrants/poor  near  their  workplace  during  the  Mission  period.

This scheme is being implemented through two models as under:

- i. Model-1: Utilizing existing  Government  funded  vacant  houses constructed  under  Jawaharlal  Nehru  National  Urban  Renewal Mission (JnNURM) and  Rajiv  Awas  Yojana  (RAY)  to  convert  into ARHCs  through  Public  Private  Partnership  (PPP)  or  by  Public Agencies,
- ii. Model-2:  Construction,  Operation  &  Maintenance  of  ARHCs  by
3. Public/Private Entities on their own available vacant land.

Under  Model-1  of  the  scheme,  so  far,  5,648  vacant  houses  have  been converted into ARHCs by States/ UTs of Chandigarh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir. Further, Request for Proposal (RFP) has been issued for 7,413 vacant houses in various States.

Under  Model-2,  73  proposals  have  been  received  from  public/private entities for construction of 1,39,471 units in 18 States/UTs. Subsequently, 13  proposals  for  constructing  82,273  new  ARHC  units  in  7  States  have been  approved  by  the  Ministry.  Further,  construction  of  30,001  new ARHCs units have been started in various States.
