## 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 with an aim to provide all weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. The scheme period of PMAY-U has been extended up to 30 th  September 2026 for completion of under-construction houses and release of funds through SNA-SPARSH module.

Based on the learnings from the experiences of implementation of PMAYU, 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 construct, purchase and rent a house by 1 crore  additional  eligible  beneficiaries  at  affordable  cost  in  next  five years.

PMAY-U  and  PMAY-U  2.0  adopt  a  demand  driven  approach  wherein States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  assess  the  requirement  through  their Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs)/Implementing  Agencies  in  their  respective jurisdictions.  Eligible citizens are also allowed to apply through Unified Web Portal of PMAY-U 2.0 with all details on the portal. States/UTs/ULBs validate  the  beneficiaries  as  per  the  eligibility  criteria  of  the  scheme guidelines  and  selection/scrutiny  of  beneficiary  lists  are  done  by  the States/UTs. The Scheme Guidelines and Unified Web Portal for submitting the online applications can be accessed through https://pmayurban.gov.in. Based on the demand survey and selection of beneficiaries, the  project  proposals  are  prepared  and  approved  by  the  State  Level Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee  (SLSMC)  headed  by  the  Chief Secretary  of  States/UTs  for  further  consideration  of  release  of  Central Assistance by the Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC).

Based on the project proposal submitted by States/UTs, a total of 125.15 lakh houses including 13.67 lakh under PMAY-U  2.0, have been sanctioned by the Ministry, so far across the country including district of Amroha in Uttar Pradesh. Of the sanctioned houses, 116.57 lakh houses have been grounded; of which 97.30 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries as on 02.03.2026.

As  per  the  project  proposal  submitted  by  State  Government  of  Uttar Pradesh,  a  total  of  17,686  houses  have  been  sanctioned  for  district  of Amroha,  of  which  13,398  houses  have  been  grounded  and  11,595  are completed. The committed Central Assistance is ₹267.85 crore, of which ₹215.25 crore has already been released , based on compliances submitted  by  the  State  government.  The  ULB-wise  details  of  houses approved,  grounded  and  completed/delivered  to  the  beneficiaries  along with fund released during the last three years in Amroha district under PMAY-U/PMAY-U 2.0 are at Annexure.

The Ministry conducts regular review with the States/UTs on progress of the scheme including timely submission of compliances by States/UTs for subsequent release of Central Assistance and its utilization for completion of the sanctioned houses within the stipulated timeline.
