## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

(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, 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 with an aim to provide all weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country including State of Uttarakhand.

PMAY-U  is  a  demand  driven  scheme.  Selection  of  beneficiaries,  under various  verticals  preferred  by  the  beneficiaries,  formulation  of  projects and execution is done by States/UTs. States/UTs prepare project proposals  and  after  approval  of  State  Level  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring Committee (SLSMC), headed by Chief Secretary of the State/UT, these are submitted to the Ministry for sanctioning of admissible Central Assistance by Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC).

Based on the project proposals received from the State of Uttarakhand, as on 03.02.2025, a total of 64,391 houses have been sanctioned for the State under PMAY-U. Out of this, 62,704 houses have been grounded for construction,  of  which  39,082  houses  are  completed/delivered  to  the beneficiaries. The remaining houses are at different stages of construction. The timeline for completion of houses/projects varies from State to State and it 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, arrangement of funds by beneficiaries etc. The Ministry conducts  regular  reviews  with  the  States/UTs  to  monitor  progress  of implementation  of  the  scheme  and  expedite  completion  of  sanctioned houses  within  the  stipulated  timeline. The  scheme  period  has  been extended up to 31.12.2025 to complete all the sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology.

Further, based on the learning from the experiences of 9 years implementation  of  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).  The  scheme  guidelines  and Unified Web-portal for submitting the online applications can be accessed through https://pmay-urban.gov.in.
