Under  the PMAY-G, against  the  target  of  3.79  crore  allocated  to  the  states/UTs,  3.57 crore  houses  have  been  sanctioned  to  the  beneficiaries  by  the states/UTs,  released  first  installment  of  assistance  to  3.24  crore beneficiaries, second installment of assistance to 2.87 crore beneficiaries and 2.72 crore houses are completed as of 20.03.2025.
- (b): Under  PMAY-G,  the  Ministry  allocates  target  to  the  State considering  it  as  one  unit  and  the  District/Block/Gram  Panchayatwise  targets  are  fixed by  the  State  Government.  The  details  on number of houses/housing units targeted for completion as well as completed  in  the  rural  area  of  Khandwa,  the  Union  Territory  of Dadra  and  Nagar  Haveli  and  Daman  and  Diu  and  Maharashtra, including  ChhatrapatiSambhaji  Nagar  during  the  last  three  years 2021-22 to 2023-24, State and year-wise, as of 20.03.2025, is given in Annexure.
- (c) & (d): The  major  shortcomings  faced  till  date  by  the  PMAY-G are  delay  in  construction  of  houses  due  to  COVID-19  induced restrictions, delay on part of States/ UTs in releasing of Central & State Share from State Treasury to State Nodal Account of PMAY-G, delay in allotment of land to landless beneficiaries by the States/UTs,  cases  of  unwillingness  of  beneficiaries,  permanent migration, disputed succession, unavailability of building materials and at times General/ Assembly/ Panchayat elections.

The  Ministry  is taking  the  following  steps to  ensure  timely completion of houses under PMAY-G:

- i. Regular review of progress at the level of Ministry.
- ii. Launch of dedicated PMAY-G analytic Dashboard for monitoring and supervision of the scheme.

- iii. Timely allocation of targets to the States/UTs and release of adequate funds.
- iv. Regular follow ups with the State to ensure release of central and  state  share  of  funds  and  provision  of  land  to  landless beneficiaries in rural areas.
- v. Awards to the best performing States/UTs, Districts based on performance index dashboard, thereby creating healthy competition and motivation among the States/UTs for achieving the set targets.
