## ANSWER

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

(a) : 'Land' and 'Colonization' 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 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 all eligible urban beneficiaries/families including slum dwellers across the  country.  The  scheme  is  implemented  through  four  verticals namely, Beneficiary-led individual house construction/ enhancements (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 based on the demand for housing  in  the  urban  areas,  including  slums,  States/UTs  prepare project  proposals  and  submitted  to  the  Ministry  for  sanctioning  of admissible Central Assistance.    Based  on  the  proposals  received …2/-

from  State  Government,  2,113  and  875  houses  have  been sanctioned  for  Chittapur  and  Wadi  towns  respectively  for eligible urban beneficiaries including slum dwellers, under the scheme.  No  proposal  under  PMAY-U  has  been  received  from State Government of Karnataka for sanctioning of houses in the above-said towns during last five years.

- (b) & (c): Under PMAY-U, Central Assistance is released in three instalments in 40%, 40%  and 20%  to the States/Union Territories (UTs) for construction of houses based on compliances submitted by them, as laid down in the Annexure 9A of PMAY-U scheme guidelines. Ministry has been consistently  releasing  the  due  installments,  based  on  the compliances received from the States/UTs for early completion of houses.

PMAY-U, which was earlier upto 31.03.2022, has been extended upto  31.12.2024,  except  CLSS  vertical,  to  complete  all  the sanctioned houses without  changing  the  funding  pattern  and implementation  methodology.  Accordingly,  States/UTs  have been  advised  to  expedite  to  complete  all  sanctioned  houses within  the  extended  Mission  period  as  per  Detailed  Project

Reports.
