## ANSWER

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

(a) to (f) '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  with  basic  civic  amenities  to eligible  urban  beneficiaries  of  Economically  Weaker  Section  (EWS),  Low Income Group (LIG) and Middle Income Group (MIG) categories across the country.  The  scheme  period,  has  been  extended  upto  31.12.2025  to complete all the houses sanctioned without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology.

…

PMAY-U is  implemented  through  the  States/UTs  in  the  spirit  of  cooperative  federalism  wherein  participating  States/UTs  prepare  project proposals  in  consonance  with  the  scheme  guidelines,  based  on  the demand for houses in urban areas and submit to this Ministry for release of admissible Central Assistance.

Based on the project proposals submitted by the State of Gujarat, in Surat  district  a  total  of  2.06  lakh  houses  have  been  sanctioned  with Central Assistance of ₹ 4,398.25 crore. Out of sanctioned houses 1.98 lakh houses have been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries and ₹4,100.65 crore has been released till date. Details of physical and financial progress for the State of Gujarat, Surat district and Surat Parliamentary Constituency are at Annexure.

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  for implementation in urban areas across the country to construct, purchase and rent a house by 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries at affordable cost 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,  29  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.
