The target under the PMAY-G was construction of 2.95 crorepucca houses with basic  amenities  by  March,  2024.  The  Union  Cabinet   approved  the implementation of the Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana- Gramin (PMAYG)  for construction  of   2  crore  additional  houses   for  the  next  five years  i.e.  from  financial  year  2024-2025  to  2028-29  with  existing unit assistance of Rs. 1.20 lakh in plain areas and Rs. 1.30 lakh in North Eastern Region (NER) States and Hilly States(including UTs of J&K  and Ladakh). In addition to the unit assistance , the beneficiaries   are  facilitated  with   90/95  man   days  of   unskilled labour  wages  at  current  rates  through  mandatory  convergence with  Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee

Scheme  (MGNREGS).  Support  of  Rs.12,000/-   for  construction  of toilet  is  also  provided  through   Swachh  Bharat  Mission  -  Gramin (SBM-G), MGNREGS or other dedicated source of funding.

The Union Cabinet has approved the continuation of PMAY-G till March, 2029 as per the existing unit assistance for construction of 2 crore more houses. The unit assistance provided to beneficiaries  under  PMAY-G  is  as  per  the  approval  of  the  Union Cabinet and at present, there is no proposal under consideration in the Ministry for increasing the unit assistance.

(d): As  per  the  guidelines  of  the  scheme,  at  the  onset  of  the Financial Year, the Annual Financial Allocation is decided for each State/UT  on  the  basis  of  previous  year's  performances  -  houses pending for completion and utilization of available funds & targets allocated in the current year. The allocation of targets and budget is given  to  the  States/UTs  every  financial  year  based  on  the  Annual Action  Plan  submitted  by  the  respective  State/  UT  Government.
