## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

- (a)  to  (e):  'Land'  and  'Colonisation'  are  State  subjects.  Therefore, schemes  related  to housing are implemented  by  State/Union Territory  (UT)  Governments  in  their  respective  regions.  However, Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  is  supplementing the  efforts  of  States/UTs  by  providing  Central  Assistance  under Pradhan Mantri  Awas  Yojana  -  Urban  (PMAY-U)  -  'Housing  for  All' Mission  since  June  25,  2015  to  provide  pucca  house  with  basic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. The scheme is implemented through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary-Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), In-Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme

(CLSS).  PMAY-U  is  a  demand  driven  scheme  and  Government  of India has not fixed any target for construction of houses under the scheme. States/ UTs have undertaken demand survey under PMAYU for assessing actual demand of housing for eligible beneficiaries and  assessed  a  requirement  of  112.24  lakh  houses  in  the  year 2017.  However,  demand  of  housing  being  dynamic  in  nature, additional urban households who became eligible during implementation of the scheme, were also covered under PMAY-U.

Based on the validated demand survey and selection of beneficiaries and local conditions, the project proposals are approved by the State Level Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC)  headed  by  the  Chief  Secretary  of  States/UTs  for  further sanctioning  of  Central  Assistance  by  Central  Sanctioning  and Monitoring  Committee  (CSMC).  MoHUA  considers  the  release  of Central Assistance based on the approval of projects by State/UT authorities for implementation of the project by them.

Against  the  validated  demand  of  112.24  lakh  houses,  as  on 04.12.2023, a total of 118.63 lakh houses have been sanctioned by the Ministry based on the project proposals submitted by States/UTs  under  PMAY-U,  out  of  which  113.42  lakh  have  been grounded and 78.27 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries.  The  total  amount  of  Central  Assistance  sanctioned and released to States/UTs during the last three years under PMAYU is ₹80,712.63 crore and ₹75,148.94 crore respectively.
