## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a)  to  (d):  'Land' and 'Colonisation' are State subjects. Schemes related to provide housing for urban poor including homeless in their respective areas are  implemented  by  States/Union  Territories  (UTs).  However,  Ministry  of Housing  and  Urban  Affairs (MoHUA)  is supplementing  the efforts of States/UTs  by  providing  Central  Assistance  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) 'Housing for All' Mission since June 25, 2015 to provide pucca house with basic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries across  the  country.  PMAY-U  adopts  a  demand  driven  approach  wherein States/UTs have been empowered to recommend the projects to MoHUA for the  beneficiaries  identified  by  them  through  a  demand  survey  based  on eligibility  criteria.   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). Against the validated demand of 1.12 crore houses, as on 31.03.2022,  122.69  lakh  houses  were  sanctioned,  out  of  which  more  than 1.07 crore have been grounded and 68.02 lakh have been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries.

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. 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.  Further, the scheme has been  extended  till  31 st   December  2024  for  completion  of  all  the  houses sanctioned  under  the  scheme.  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. The details of houses sanctioned to all States/UTs  including  Rajasthan  under  the  PMAY-U  since  inception  and during the last three years is at Annexure.
