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

- (a) to (d): 'Land' and 'Colonisation' 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 (MoHUA)  supplements  the  efforts  of  States/UTs  by  providing  Central Assistance under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) since June  25,  2015  to  provide  pucca  house  in  urban  areas  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) . Based on project proposals submitted by the State/UT Governments under PMAY-U, a total of 118.64 lakh houses have been sanctioned  by  the  Ministry,  out  of  which  114.33  lakh  have  been grounded and 85.04 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries in urban  areas  as  on  22.07.2024.  The  remaining  houses  are  at  different stages of construction. 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 Union Cabinet on 10.06.2024 has resolved to provide assistance to 3 crore  additional  rural  and  urban  households  for  the  construction  of houses, to meet the housing requirements arising out of the increase in the number of eligible families.

As  per  the  budget  2024-25,  PMAY-Urban  2.0  aims  to  address  the housing needs of 1 crore urban poor and middle-class families with an investment of ₹10 lakh crore and Central Assistance of ₹2.20 lakh crore.

The details of number of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed/delivered  to  beneficiaries  under  PMAY-U  in  Madipakkam, Sunnambu Kolathur and Perumbakkam in 2023-24 are at Annexure.
