## ANSWER

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

## (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  YojanaUrban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with basic civic  amenities  to  eligible  urban  beneficiaries  across  the  country including the Washim-Yavatmal Parliamentary Constituency.

PMAY-U  is  a  demand  driven  scheme  and  Government  of  India has not fixed any target for construction of houses.

Funds are released to States/UTs for sanctioned houses based on  physical  and  financial  progress  and  compliances  as  per  scheme guidelines. Details of Physical and financial progress under PMAY-U in Washim-Yavatmal Parliament Constituency in the State of Maharashtra are at Annexure.

Further,  based  on  9  years  of  experience  and  learning  from implementing 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 at affordable cost through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led  Construction  (BLC),  Affordable  Housing  in  Partnership  (AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS). As on date, 29 States/UTs including Maharashtra have signed Memorandum of Agreement (MoA)  to  implement  PMAY-U  2.0  as  per scheme guidelines. The operational guidelines of the PMAY-U 2.0 have been launched on 17.09.2024.
