## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

- (a) to (d): Yes, Sir. Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is implementing  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 including homeless people of the country. 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).

MoHUA  is  providing  its  fixed  share  as  Central  Assistance  of  ₹1.0 lakh under ISSR, ₹1.5 lakh for AHP and BLC verticals under PMAY-U. Under CLSS vertical of the scheme, an interest subsidy at the rate of 6.5% which amounts up to ₹2.67 lakh per house, was provided for beneficiaries  of  Economically  Weaker  Sections  (EWS)  and  Low

Income Group (LIG) category.

As on 29.01.2024, a total of 118.63 lakh  houses  have  been sanctioned by the Ministry based on the project proposals submitted by States/Union Territories (UTs) under PMAY-U, out of which 114.01 lakh have been grounded and 80.02 lakh are completed/delivered to the  beneficiaries  in  urban  areas.  The  State-wise  details  of  houses sanctioned, grounded and completed under PMAY-U is at Annexure-I.

In  order  to  achieve  the  target  of  'Housing  for  All'  in  rural  areas, Ministry  of  Rural  Development  (MoRD)  is  implementing  Pradhan Mantri  Awaas  Yojana  -  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  with  effect  from  1 st   April 2016  to  provide  assistance  to  construct  2.95  crore  pucca  houses with basic amenities by March 2024. Out of the overall target of 2.95 crore houses allocated to States/UTs under PMAY-G, more than 2.94 crore houses have already been sanctioned to the beneficiaries and over 2.55 crore houses have already been completed as on 02.02.2024.

Under  PMAY-G,  beneficiaries  are  provided  financial  Assistance  of ₹1.20  lakh  in  plain  areas  and  ₹1.30  lakh  in  hilly  States  (including North  Eastern  States  and  UTs  of  Jammu  &  Kashmir  and  Ladakh), difficult areas and Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts. Additional Assistance  of  ₹12,000/-  is  extended  for  construction  of  toilets through convergence with Swachh Bharat Mission - Gramin (SBM-G), Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme (MGNREGS) or any other dedicated source of funding. Further, it is mandatory to provide support of 90/95 person days unskilled wage employment  at  the  current  rates  to  a  PMAY-G  beneficiary  for construction of his/her house in convergence with MGNREGS. The

PMAY-G  households  are  also  provided  water,  LPG,  and  electricity connections  in  convergence  with  other  relevant  schemes.  The State/UT-wise  details  of  targets  allocated,  houses  sanctioned  to eligible  beneficiaries  and  houses  completed  under  PMAY-G  as  on 02.02.2024 is at Annexure-II.

(e) to (g): As per the PMAY-U guidelines, a fixed amount of Central Assistance  is  provided  to  the  beneficiaries  under  PMAY-U.  The remaining cost of the house as per Detailed Project Report (DPR) is shared by States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Beneficiaries. Based on the requests received from the States/UTs, PMAY-U period, which  was  up  to  31 st   March  2022  earlier,  has  been  extended  till 31.12.2024, except CLSS vertical of the scheme, to complete all the houses sanctioned without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. The Ministry is not contemplating any change in the Central Assistance at this stage of the scheme.

The  unit  assistance  provided  to  beneficiaries  under  PMAY-G  is  as per  the  approval  of  the  Union  Cabinet  and  at  present,  there  is  no proposal  under  consideration  in  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development for upward revision of unit assistance under PMAY-G.
