## ANSWER

MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

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

(a)  to  (c)  '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  supplements  the  efforts  of  States/Union  Territories (UTs),  by  providing  Central  Assistance  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country including in the State of Gujarat. The scheme period, has been extended upto 31.12.2025 to complete  sanctioned  houses  without  changing  the  funding  pattern

- and implementation methodology.

Under PMAY-U, formulation of projects and execution is done by States/Union  Territories  (UTs).  It  has  been  noted  that  States  of Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Tamil Nadu Uttar  Pradesh  etc.  have  higher  completion  rates  than  other  States. However,  implementing  agencies  faced  major  challenges  including non-availability of encumbrance free land, unwillingness of beneficiaries,  delay  in  getting  statutory  clearances/No  Objection Certificates (NOCs), provision of infrastructure by State/UT/ULB etc.

Based on the project proposals submitted by States/UTs, a total of  118.64  lakh  houses,  including  10.05  lakh  for  Gujarat,  have  been sanctioned by the Ministry, of which 90.60 lakh, including 9.40 lakh for  Gujarat,  are  completed/  delivered  to  the  beneficiaries  as  on 13.03.2025.

Further,  based  on  9  years  of  experience  and  learning  from implementing PMAY-U, MoHUA  has  revamped the scheme and launched  PMAY-U  2.0  'Housing  for  All'  Mission  with  effect  from 01.09.2024  to  assist  1  crore  additional  eligible  urban  beneficiaries through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable  Housing  in  Partnership  (AHP),  Affordable  Rental  Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS). As on date, 30 States/UTs including  Gujarat  have  signed  Memorandum  of  Agreement  (MoA)  to implement  PMAY-U  2.0  as  per  scheme  guidelines.  The  operational guidelines of the PMAY-U 2.0 have been launched on 17.09.2024. The unified  web  portal  for  submitting  online  application  and  operational guidelines can be accessed at https://pmay-urban.gov.in. 'In-principle' approval  for  allocation  of  more  than  6.75  lakh  houses,  including 50,000 for the State of Gujarat, has been given under PMAY-U 2.0.
