- (b)   To address urban housing, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States/  Union  Territories  by  providing central financial assistance under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) since June 25, 2015 with the aim of providing all-weather pucca houses equipped with basic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries. The scheme operates through four verticals- Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), In-Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR), and the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS), as per the eligibility criteria outlined in the scheme guidelines. Mission Period was up to 31.03.2022 which has been extended up to 31.12.2024 only to complete all the sanctioned houses without changing funding pattern and implementation methodology of the scheme.
