## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

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

- (a) to  (d):  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  has  been implementing  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. The scheme  period  of  PMAY-U  has  been  extended  up  to  31.12.2025  to complete sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. Based on the learnings from the experiences of 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  in  next  five  years.  PMAY-U  2.0  is implemented  through  four  verticals  i.e.,  Beneficiary  Led  Construction (BLC),  Affordable  Housing  in  Partnership  (AHP),  Affordable  Rental Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS).

Based  on  the  project  proposal  submitted  by  States/Union  Territories (UTs), a total of 119.26 lakh houses including 7.09 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0,  have  been  sanctioned  under  PMAY-U  by  the  Ministry,  so  far including  Gorakhpur.  Out  of  which  112.81  lakh  houses  have  been grounded and 93.61 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries across the country during last ten years, as on 14.07.2025. Year-wise details of houses sanctioned, grounded, completed and occupied since inception are at Annexure.

The Central Assistance sanctioned, released and utilized in Gorakhpur under PMAY-U since 2015 is ₹ 892.32 crore, ₹8 52.44 crore and ₹836.48 crore respectively. A total of 58,202 houses have been sanctioned for Gorakhpur,  of  which  56,178  houses  have  been  completed.  Out  of sanctioned houses, 9,998 belong to Scheduled Castes, 1,283 are from Scheduled Tribes and 6,062 from Minorities. Completion percentage in Gorakhpur is 95%.

Additionally,  5,203  houses  have  been  sanctioned  recently  under  BLC vertical  of  PMAY-U  2.0  in  Gorakhpur.  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 and rigorous review meetings with States/UTs to complete the remaining houses of PMAY-U  and  recently  sanctioned  houses  of  PMAY-U  2.0  within  the stipulated timeframe across the country including Gorakhpur.
