## ANSWER

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

## (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) to  (c):  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  has  been implementing  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana  -  Urban  (PMAY-U)  since 25.06.2015  to  provide  all  weather  pucca  houses  with  basic  civic amenities to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. The scheme period  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 support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries in next five years. PMAYU  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 119.31 lakh houses including 7.15 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0, have been sanctioned under PMAY-U by the Ministry, so far. Out of which  112.98  lakh  houses  have  been  grounded  and  93.81  lakh  are completed/delivered  to  the  beneficiaries  across  the  country  including West Bengal, as on 04.08.2025.

A  total  of  6,15,105  houses  have  been  sanctioned  for  State  of  West Bengal so far, with committed Central Assistance of ₹ 9,965.78 crore, of which  ₹ 8,907.91 has already been  released. Out of total  houses sanctioned,  a  total  of  6,06,060  are  grounded,  of  which  4,65,657  are completed/delivered  to  the  beneficiaries.  The  year  and  district-wise details of funds sanctioned, released and utilized in West Bengal since 2019 under PMAY-U are at Annexure-I. The municipality-wise details of number of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed in Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts under PMAY-U are at Annexure-II.

PMAY-U  scheme is being implemented through designated nodal agencies  at  State/UT  level.  As  per  the  Scheme  Guidelines  of  PMAY-U, Central  Assistance  is  released  in  three  installments  in  40%,  40%  and 20% to the States/UTs for construction of houses based on compliances submitted by them. The Ministry has been consistently releasing the due installments on receipt of compliances received from the States/UTs for early completion of houses including municipalities under Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts of State of West Bengal. There has been no delay in the  release  of  funds  to  West  Bengal  including  municipalities  under Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts of the State.
