## THE MINISTER OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI MANOHAR LAL)

STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  THE  LOK  SABHA  STARRED  QUESTION  NO. 395  DUE  FOR  ANSWER  ON  27.03.2025  REGARDING  'CONSTRUCTION  OF HOUSES IN WEST CHAMPARAN UNDER PMAY-U'

(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 (MoHUA) supplements the efforts of States/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 households across the country.

PMAY-U is a demand driven scheme and based on the demand for housing in the urban areas, States/UTs prepare project proposals and after approval of State Level Sanctioning & Monitoring Committee  (SLSMC), these are submitted to this Ministry for sanctioning of admissible Central assistance by Central Sanctioning & Monitoring Committee (CSMC).

Based  on  the  proposals  received,  a  total  of  3,14,477  houses  have  been sanctioned in the State of Bihar since inception under PMAY-U, out of which 2,92,162  have  been  grounded  for  construction  and  1,74,892  have  been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries as on 17.03.2025. During the last 3 years and the current Year (2021-25), a total of 28,705 houses have been sanctioned in the State of Bihar, 1,00,407 houses have been grounded for construction and 1,03,290 have been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries.  District-wise  details  of  houses  sanctioned,  grounded  and completed/delivered to the beneficiaries since inception and during the last three years and current year (2021-25) in the State of Bihar including West Champaran, under PMAY-U is at Annexure.

The  timeline  for  completion  of  projects  varies  from  State  to  State  and generally it takes 12-36 months in different verticals of the scheme and as per Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of respective projects. The completion timeline for houses depends on various factors like availability of encumbrance free land, statutory compliances for start of construction, arrangement  of  funds  by  beneficiaries  etc.  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)  for  completion  of sanctioned houses within the extended scheme period i.e. upto 31.12.2025.

Furthermore,  based  on  the  learning  from  the  experiences  of  9  years implementation  of  PMAY-U,  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 'Housing for All' Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 for 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries at affordable  cost  through  four  verticals  i.e.,  Beneficiary  Led  Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH)  and  Interest  Subsidy  Scheme  (ISS).  The  scheme  guidelines  are available at https://pmay-urban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/OperationalGuidelines-of-PMAY-U-2.pdf. As on date, 32 States/UTs have signed Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) and in principle approval of more than 6.92 lakh houses has been given to such States/UTs.
