ALLOTTED UNDER PMAY-U 2.0 IN BIHAR'

- (a) to (c): 'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related  to  housing  and  other  civic  amenities  for  their  citizens  are implemented  by  States/Union  Territories  (UTs).  However,  Ministry  of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) supplements the efforts of States/UTs  in  urban  areas  of  the  country  including  the  State  of  Bihar through various Missions, such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U), Smart Cities Mission (SCM), Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation 2.0 (AMRUT 2.0), Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban 2.0  (SBM-U 2.0),  Prime Minister Street Vendor's AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi), PM-eBus Sewa amongst others.

The Ministry has been implementing PMAY-U since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca  houses  with  basic  civic  amenities  to  eligible  urban  households across the country. Under PMAY-U, a total of 118.64 lakh houses have been  sanctioned  by  the  Ministry,  out  of  which  112.74  lakh  have  been grounded  and  92.02  lakh  are  completed/delivered  to  the  beneficiaries across the country as on 24.03.2025. Further, a total of 3,14,477 houses have been sanctioned in the State of Bihar under PMAY-U, out of which 2,92,162  have  been  grounded  for  construction  and  1,76,880  have  been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries as on 24.03.2025.

Further,  based  on  the  learnings  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 for 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary  Led  Construction  (BLC),  Affordable  Housing  in  Partnership (AHP),  Affordable  Rental  Housing  (ARH)  and  Interest  Subsidy  Scheme (ISS).

PMAY-U 2.0 is a demand driven scheme. States/ UTs formulate project proposals as per their assessed demand of houses in a phased manner based  on  their  resources.  These  proposals  are  approved  by  the  State Level  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee  (SLSMC)  headed  by  the Chief  Secretary  of  States/UTs  for  further  consideration  of  release  of admissible  Central  Assistance  by  Central  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring Committee (CSMC). Under PMAY-U 2.0, in principle approval of more than 6.92 lakh houses has been given.
