## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) to  (c):  'Land'  and  'Colonization'  are  State  subjects.  Therefore,  schemes related  to  housing  for  their  citizens  are  implemented  by  States/Union Territories (UTs). However, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs supplements efforts of States/UTs by providing Central Assistance under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 with an aim to provide all weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities to all eligible  urban  beneficiaries  across  the  country. The  scheme  period  has been extended up to 31.12.2025 to complete sanctioned houses 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 support 1 crore additional eligible  beneficiaries  in next  five  years.  PMAY-U  2.0  is  implemented  through  four  verticals  i.e., Beneficiary  Led  Construction  (BLC),  Affordable  Housing  in  Partnership (AHP),  Affordable  Rental  Housing  (ARH)  and  Interest  Subsidy  Scheme (ISS).

PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0 are demand driven schemes. As per the scheme guidelines, selection of beneficiaries, formulation of projects and execution  are  done  by  States/Union  Territories  (UTs).  After  demand assessment  and  verification,  States/UTs  prepare  project  proposals  and after  approval  of  State  Level  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee (SLSMC), these are submitted to the Ministry for sanctioning of admissible Central  Assistance  by  Central  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee (CSMC).

Based on the project proposal submitted by States/UTs, a total of 119.31 lakh houses including 7.15 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0, have been sanctioned under  PMAY-U  by  the  Ministry,  so  far.  Out  of  which  112.98  lakh  houses have  been  grounded  and  93.81  lakh  are  completed/delivered  to  the beneficiaries across the country, as on 04.08.2025.
