As  on  31st  July 2023,  118.90  lakh  houses  have  been  sanctioned  by  the  Ministry based on the project proposals submitted by States/Union Territories (UTs), out of which 112.30 lakh have been grounded and 76.02 lakh have been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries.

Against  the  reported  demand  of  5.50  houses,  a  total  of  6.83  lakh houses  have  been  sanctioned  for  the  State  of  West  Bengal  under PMAY-U.
