## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) to (d)  'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related  to  housing  for  their  citizens  are  implemented  by  States/Union Territories  (UTs).  However,  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban    Affairs (MoHUA)  supplements   the   efforts  of  States/UTs  by providing Central assistance  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana-  Urban  (PMAY-U)  since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with basic civic amenities to eligible urban households across the country. The implementation period of PMAYU  was  from  15.06.2015  to  31.03.2022  which  has  been  extended  upto 31.12.2025  to  complete  the  houses  sanctioned  without  changing  the funding pattern and implementation methodology.

Based on the learnings from the experiences of implementation of PMAY-U, MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 'Housing for All' Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 for implementation in urban areas across  the  country  to  construct,  purchase  and  rent  a  house  by  1  crore additional eligible beneficiaries belonging to economically weaker sections (EWS), low-income group (LIG), and middle income  group (MIG) at affordable cost.

PMAY-U  &  PMAY-U  2.0  are  demand  driven  schemes  and  Government  of India has not fixed any State-wise target for construction of houses. Based on the project proposals submitted by the State Government of Bihar under PMAY-U, a total of 2,91,422 houses have been sanctioned by the Ministry in the State of Bihar, of which 1,89,856 have been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries  as  on  14.07.2025.  Further,  under  PMAY-U  2.0,  a  total  of 1,53,790  houses  have  been  sanctioned  recently  in  the  state  of  Bihar. District-wise  details  of  physical  and  financial  progress  under  PMAY-U  &

PMAY-U 2.0 in the State of Bihar is at Annexure. Central assistance under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 is released to States/UTs in  three  installments  of  40%,  40%  and  20%.   The  release  of  Central assistance   is   incumbent   upon  fulfillment   of   mandatory compliances by  the  concerned  States/UTs  as  per  operational  guidelines  and  other instructions  issued  by  Ministry  of  Finance.  Due  installment  of  Central assistance is released as soon as requisite compliances are achieved in sanctioned  projects,  to  concerned  State  Government  for  transferring  it for along with matching  state share to the identified beneficiaries construction of houses under the scheme.
