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

(a)& (b) 'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. 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 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).

The Scheme has been extended till 31.12.2024, except for CLSS vertical of the scheme, to complete all the houses sanctioned without changing the funding  pattern  and  implementation  methodology.  The  Ministry  regularly reviews the status of implementation of PMAY-U with States/UTs through Monthly  Progress  Reports  (MPRs),  Monthly  Review  Meetings  and  in  the meetings  of  Central  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee  (CSMC). States/UTs,  including  the  State  of  Tamil  Nadu,  have  been  advised  to expedite  the  completion  of  all  sanctioned  houses  within  the  extended Mission period as per the Detailed Project Reports. The year-wise details of houses sanctioned, and Central Assistance sanctioned and released to the  State  of  Tamil  Nadu  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana  -  Urban

(PMAY-U) are at Annexure.

Further, based on the learning from the experiences of PMAY-U, MoHUA has  launched  PMAY-U  2.0  'Housing  for  All'  Mission  with  effect  from 01.09.2024 for assisting  to  one  crore  households  to  construct,  purchase and  rent  a  house  at  affordable  cost  in  urban  areas  across  the  country 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,  29  States/UTs  have  signed Memorandum  of  Agreement  (MoA)  to  implement  PMAY-U  2.0  as  per scheme guidelines  launched  on  17.09.2024  and  available  athttps://pmayurban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational-Guidelines-of-PMAY-U-2.pdf.

The state of Tamil Nadu has not yet signed the MoA to implement PMAY-U

2.0.

(c) Under PMAY-U, Government of India provides its fixed share as Central Assistance of ₹1.0 lakh under ISSR, ₹1.5 lakh for AHP and BLC verticals of PMAY-U. Under CLSS vertical of PMAY-U, an upfront subsidy upto 2.67 lakh per house as interest subsidy. The remaining cost of the house as per DPR is shared by States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Beneficiaries.

Under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana  -Gramin  (PMAY-G),  Central Government  and  State  Government  provides  financial  assistance  of  Rs. 1.20 lakh in the ratio of 60:40 in plain areas and Rs. 1.30 lakh in the ratio of  90:10  in  hilly  areas.  Additionally,  under  convergence  with  Mahatma Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (MGNREGA),  90 days of unskilled labour is provided in plain areas and 95 daysof unskilled labour is provided in difficult areas  and  hilly States. PMAY-G beneficiaries also  get  assistance  of  Rs  12,000  from  SBM(G),  MGNREGA  or  any  other dedicated funding source for construction of toilets. The quantum of unit assistance under PMAY-G is as per the approval of Union Cabinet.

(d)  &  (e)  As  per  the  scheme  guidelines,  the  houses  under  the  PMAY-U mission should be designed and constructed to meet the requirement of structural safety against earthquakes, flood, cyclone, landslide  etc.  conforming  to  the  National  Building  Code  and  relevant Bureau  of  Indian  Standards  (BIS)  codes.  The  mission  also  includes  a Technology  Sub-Mission  to  facilitate  State  /  UT  Governments  to  adopt modern, innovative, disaster resilient and green technologies for adoption of  layout  designs  and  building  plans  suitable  for  various  geo-climatic zones. Under PMAY-U 2.0, additional Technology Innovation Grant (TIG) is also  provisioned  for  projects  constructed  using  innovative,  environment friendly and disaster resilient construction technologies.

For  effective  monitoring  of  the  quality  and  durability  of  houses sanctioned under the PMAY-U, the Third Party Quality Monitoring (TPQM) of all the ongoing projects under the Scheme is mandatory. On the basis of the reports on the quality of houses from such Agencies, States and Urban Local  Bodies  (ULBs)/Implementing  Agencies  (IAs)  take  both  preventive and  curative  measures  to  ensure  that  standard  quality  houses  are constructed under the PMAY-U.
