## ANSWER

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

## (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) to (d): Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with basic civic amenities to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. PMAY-U is a demand driven scheme and Government of India has not fixed any target for construction of houses. Based on the demand for housing in the urban areas, States/UTs prepare project proposals and after  approval  of  State  Level  Sanctioning  &  Monitoring  Committee (SLSMC),  these   are   submitted   to   this   Ministry  for    sanctioning   of

admissible Central assistance  by Central  Sanctioning  &  Monitoring Committee (CSMC). The timeline for  completion  of  projects  varies  from State to State and generally it takes 12-36 months in different verticals of the  scheme  and  as  per  Detailed  Project  Reports  (DPRs)  of  respective projects.

Based on the project proposals submitted by the State of Bihar, 3,14,477 houses  have  been  sanctioned  under  PMAY-U,  of  which  3,08,391  have been grounded and 1,61,011 have been completed/delivered to beneficiaries.  There  is  no  further  project  proposal  pending  for  sanction with the Ministry. City-wise details of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed/delivered to the beneficiaries under PMAY-U in Purnia district of Bihar are at Annexure.

Learning from the experiences of PMAY-U, MoHUA has 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  one  crore  houses  by  eligible  beneficiaries  at  affordable  cost through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), Interest Subsidy Scheme  (ISS) and Affordable  Rental  Housing  (ARH).  As  on  date,  29  States/UTs  including Bihar have signed Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to implement PMAYU 2.0 as per scheme guidelines. The scheme guidelines are available at https://pmay-urban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational-Guidelines-ofPMAY-U-2.pdf.
