## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a) to  (c):  'Land'  and  'Colonisation'  are  State  subjects.  Ministry  of Housing and Urban Affairs has been implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) under 'Housing for All' Mission since June, 2015 by providing Central assistance to supplement efforts of  States/ Union Territories (UTs) for providing all-weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities  to  all  eligible  urban  beneficiaries.  Government  of  India sanctions the proposals based on the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) along  with  project  cost  prepared  by  the  implementing  agencies  of States/UTs.    The  Scheme  is  implemented  through  four  verticals  i.e. Beneficiary-led  individual  house  construction/  enhancement  (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), 'In-situ' Slum Redevelopment (ISSR), and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS).

Government of India is providing a fixed share as Central Assistance of ₹1.0 lakh per house under ISSR, ₹1.5 lakh per house under AHP and BLC verticals of PMAY-U. The remaining cost of the house, as per DPR, Bodies is shared by States/Union Territories (UTs)/Urban Local (ULB)/Beneficiaries.

The scheme period which was earlier up to 31.03.2022, has been extended  up  to  31.12.2024,  except  Credit  Linked  Subsidy  Scheme (CLSS) vertical of the scheme, to complete all the houses sanctioned without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. There is no proposal to increase the Central Assistance under PMAY-U with this Ministry.

Year-wise details  of  funds  sanctioned  and  released  to  Tamil  Nadu under  PMAY-U  during  the  Financial  Years  2015-16  to  2021-22  is  at Annexure.
