## 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, under the vision of 'Housing for All', supplements the efforts of States/Union  Territories  (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  beneficiaries across the country including in the State of Maharashtra. The scheme has been  extended  till  31.12.2025  to  complete  sanctioned  houses  without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. PMAY-U is a demand driven scheme. Funds are released to States/UTs for sanctioned houses based on physical and financial progress and compliances as per scheme guidelines.

In the last five years, approx. 6.80 lakh houses have been completed in Maharashtra and ₹14,656 crore has been released to State government and Central Nodal Agencies for PMAY-U in Maharashtra. The details of the houses sanctioned, grounded, and completed as well as central assistance sanctioned and released under the PMAY-U in Maharashtra since inception of the scheme and during the last five years 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 to assist 1  crore  additional  eligible  urban  beneficiaries  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,  30  States/UTs  including  Maharashtra  have  signed Memorandum  of  Agreement  (MoA)  to  implement  PMAY-U  2.0  as  per scheme guidelines. PMAY-U 2.0 is a demand drive scheme with no fixed targets. The operational guidelines of the PMAY-U 2.0 have been launched on 17.09.2024. The unified web portal for submitting online application and operational  guidelines  can  be  accessed  at  https://pmay-urban.gov.in.  'Inprinciple' approval for allocation of 6.77 lakh houses, including 92,000 for the State of Maharashtra, has been given under PMAY-U 2.0.
