## STATEMENT

STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  LOK  SABHA  STARRED QUESTION  NO. 84 TO BE ANSWERED  ON  FEBRUARY  08, 2024 REGARDING 'PMAY-URBAN IN MAHARASHTRA'.

(a) to (d) 'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects.  Schemes related to housing  for  urban  poor  in  their  respective  areas  are  implemented  by States/UTs.  However,  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  is supplementing the efforts of States/UTs by providing Central Assistance under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana-  Urban  (PMAY-U)  'Housing  for  All' Mission since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with basic amenities to  all  eligible  urban  beneficiaries  especially  to  Economically  Weaker Section (EWS) families/households. PMAY-U covers all urban local bodies and development authority areas of the country, including those located in backward areas like Aspirational districts.

PMAY-U is a demand driven scheme and Government of India has not fixed any target for construction of houses. All families meeting income criteria and not having a pucca house anywhere in the country are considered eligible  beneficiaries  under  scheme  guidelines.  Implementation  of  the PMAY-U  Scheme  in States/UTs including assessment of demand, formulation of projects, selection of beneficiaries etc. are done by the respective State/UT Governments as per scheme guidelines.

Based  on  selection  of  eligible  beneficiaries  and  local  conditions,  the project  proposals  are  approved  by  the  State  Level  Sanctioning  and Monitoring  Committee  (SLSMC)  headed  by  the  Chief  Secretary  of States/UTs  for  further  sanctioning  of  Central  Assistance  by  Central Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee  (CSMC).  MoHUA  considers  the release  of  Central  Assistance  based  on  the  approval  of  projects  by State/UT authorities for implementation. No project proposal of Maharashtra is pending for consideration in the Ministry.

Details  of  houses  sanctioned,  Central  Assistance  sanctioned  and utilised under PMAY-U in the country, State of Maharashtra, Aspirational Districts in the country, Aspirational Districts in the State of Maharashtra and Gadchiroli-Chimur Parliamentary Constituency so far and during the last three years is at Annexure.

PMAY-U,  which  was  earlier  upto  31.03.2022,  has  since  been extended  upto  31.12.2024,  except  CLSS  vertical,  to  complete  all  the sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology.
