(b):       Yes, to ensure that assistance is targeted at those who are genuinely deprived and that the selection is objective and verifiable, the beneficiaries under PMAY-G are identified using housing deprivation  parameters  given  in  the  Socio  Economic  and  Caste Census  (SECC),  2011  data. The  SECC  data  captures  specific deprivation  related  to  housing  among  households.  Using  the  data the houseless and households living in 0, 1 and 2 room with kutcha

wall  and  kutcha  roof  houses  have  been  segregated  and  targeted. The final selection of beneficiaries under PMAY-G is based on the housing  deprivation  parameters  and  exclusion  criteria  prescribed under Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC)-2011 and due verification  by  the  respective  Gram  Sabha's  and  completion  of  an Appellate  Process.  The  number  of  eligible  beneficiaries  available through  SECC  based  list  currently  stands  at  2.04  crore  (approx.). The Government conducted Awaas+ survey during January 2018 to March  2019  to  identify  those  beneficiaries  which  claimed  to  have been  left  out  under  the  SECC  2011  survey  and  thus  prepared  an additional list of potential beneficiaries. To fill the gap of approx. 91 lakhs (2.95 crore - 2.04 crore), Awaas+ data has been utilized.

The Union Cabinet has approved construction of 2 crore additional houses during FY 2024-25 to FY 2028-29 as the existing unit cost. To meet the need arising out of the increase in family size in rural areas, a nationwide Awaas+ 2024 survey is also being carried out for identification of additional eligible households  as  per the modified exclusion criteria of the PMAY-G.
