## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) to (c) 'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related  to  housing  for  their  citizens  are  implemented  by  States/Union Territories (UTs). However, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) supplements  the  efforts  of  States/UTs  by  providing  Central  assistance under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 to provide  pucca  houses  with  basic  civic  amenities  to  all  eligible  urban beneficiaries across the country. The scheme is implemented through four verticals  i.e.  Beneficiary-Led  Construction  (BLC),  Affordable  Housing  in Partnership  (AHP),  In-Situ  Slum  Redevelopment  (ISSR)  and  Credit  Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). The Scheme has been extended till 31.12.2024, except  for  CLSS  vertical  of  the  scheme,  to  complete  all  the  houses sanctioned  without  changing  the  funding  pattern  and  implementation methodology.

Further, based on the 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  assisting  to  one  crore  households  to  construct,  purchase and  rent  a  house  at  affordable  cost  in  urban  areas  across  the  country through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led  Construction  (BLC),  Affordable

Housing  in  Partnership  (AHP),  Affordable  Rental  Housing  (ARH)  and Interest  Subsidy  Scheme  (ISS).  As  on  date,  29  States/UTs  have  signed Memorandum  of  Agreement  (MoA)  to  implement  PMAY-U  2.0  as  per scheme guidelines launched on 17.09.2024 and available at https://pmayurban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational-Guidelines-of-PMAY-U-2.pdf

Additionally,  in  order  to  achieve  the  objective  of  'Housing  for  All'  in rural  areas,  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) with effect from 1 st  April, 2016 to provide  assistance  to  eligible  rural  households.  The  scheme  which  was earlier  upto  31.03.2024  has  now  been  extended  upto  31.03.2029  with  a cumulative  target  to  construct  4.95  crore  pucca  houses  with  basic amenities.

As on 25.11.2024, a total of 118.64 lakh houses have been sanctioned by the Central Government in urban areas, out of which 114.22 lakh have been grounded and more than 88.22 lakh are completed/ delivered to the beneficiaries, since the inception. Further, in rural areas, a total target of 3.33 crore houses have been allotted to the States/UTs and out of which 3.21 crore houses have been sanctioned and more than 2.67 crore houses have been completed.
