## ANSWER MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a)    Land'  and  'Colonization'  are  State  subjects.  Therefore,  schemes related  to  housing  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. Furthermore, MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 'Housing for All' Mission with  effect from 01.09.2024 to support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries.

PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 are demand driven schemes and Government of India  has  not  fixed  any  State-wise  target  for  construction  of  houses. Under the schemes, States/UTs conduct demand survey in their respective jurisdiction and validate the beneficiaries to ascertain eligibility. In order to ensure that the scheme effectively addresses the housing needs of urban poor, a Unified Web-portal has been developed by the Ministry under PMAY-U 2.0. Eligible citizens are also allowed to apply

through Unified Web Portal and register their demand. States/UTs/Urban Local  Bodies  (ULBs)  validate  the  beneficiaries  as  per  the  eligibility criteria  of  the  scheme  guidelines  and  selection/  scrutiny  of  beneficiary list  is  done  at  multiple  levels  in  the  States/UTs.    After  fulfilling  the procedures laid down in the Scheme Guidelines, the houses are approved by  State  Level  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee  (SLSMC)  and forwarded to Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) for consideration of release of Central Assistance.

Based  on  the  project  proposals  submitted  by  the  State  Government  of Chhattisgarh,  a  total  of  2.99  lakh  houses  have  been  sanctioned  by  the Ministry  under  PMAY-U  &  PMAY-U  2.0  as  on  21.07.2025,  out  of  which 12,906 houses have been sanctioned during last 12 month under PMAY-U 2.0.  Out  of  total  sanctioned  houses,  2.57  lakh  have  been  completed  so far,  of  which  17,813  houses  have  been  completed  during  the  last  12 months.

(b) Physical  and  financial  progress  under  PMAY-U  &  PMAY-U  2.0  in Durg  Lok  Sabha  Constituency  and  Bemetara  district  of  the  State  of Chhattisgarh are at Annexure.

(c) The  time  period  for  completion  of  projects  generally  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,  arrangements  of funds  by  beneficiaries  etc.  The  scheme  period  of  PMAY-U  has  been extended  upto  31.12.2025  to  complete  the  houses  sanctioned  without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. States/UTs have been advised to expedite the construction of sanctioned houses  under  PMAY-U  so  that  all  houses  are  completed  within  the stipulated timeline. The houses under PMAY-U 2.0 have been sanctioned this year only.
