## ANSWER MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

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

- (a) to  (c):  'Land'  and  'Colonisation'  are  State  subjects.  Schemes related  to  housing  and  slum  rehabilitation  are  implemented  by State/Union Territory (UT) Governments in their respective regions. However, Government of India supplements the efforts of States/UTs by providing Central Assistance under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) to provide pucca house with basic amenities  to   eligible    urban   beneficiaries   across   the  country

including slum dwellers. Eligible beneficiaries including slum dwellers  could  avail  benefit  of  PMAY-U  through  available  four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction or Enhancement (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), In-Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS).

The scheme is demand driven and selection of beneficiaries under various verticals preferred by beneficiaries, formulation of projects and  execution  are  done  by  States/UTs.  Based  on  the  project proposal  submitted  by  States/UTs,  more  than  1.12  crore  houses have  been  sanctioned  under  PMAY-U  by  the  Ministry  across  the country including 5.84 lakh in Karnataka, out of which 93.61 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries across the country, as on  14.07.2025.  The  scheme  period  has  been  extended  up  to 31.12.2025  to  complete  sanctioned  houses  without  changing  the funding pattern and implementation methodology.

Out  of  the  total  sanctioned  houses  under  the  scheme,  about  29 lakh houses have been sanctioned to slum dwellers under AHP/BLC/ISSR verticals of PMAY-U, of which more than 1.29 lakh houses have been sanctioned for slum dwellers in Karnataka. The details  of  houses  sanctioned,  grounded  &  completed  along  with fund sanctioned, released & utilised in the State of Karnataka and Bangaluru  district  for  the  slum  dwellers  under  PMAY-U  is  at Annexure.

(d) &  (e): 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 support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries 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). Slum redevelopment projects can be taken under BLC or AHP vertical depending on method of implementation. The State Government of Karnataka has signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to implement the PMAY-U 2.0 scheme. However, the  State  has  not  submitted  any  new  proposals  for  sanctioning houses including for slum under PMAY-U 2.0 to the Ministry.
