## 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  eligible  urban  beneficiaries  across  the  country.  The scheme  period  has been extended up to 31.12.2025 to complete sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. Based on the learnings from the experiences of  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 to support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries in next five years.

PMAY-U  2.0  is  implemented  through  four  verticals  i.e.,  Beneficiary  Led Construction (BLC),  Affordable  Housing  in  Partnership  (AHP),  Affordable Rental  Housing  (ARH)  and  Interest  Subsidy  Scheme  (ISS).  The  scheme guidelines can be accessed at https://pmayurban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational-Guidelines-of-PMAY-U-2.pdf

PMAY-U  & PMAY-U  2.0 are demand  driven scheme. Selection of beneficiaries,  under  various  verticals  preferred  by  the  beneficiaries, formulation  of  projects  and  execution  including  allotment  of  completed houses to the eligible beneficiaries are done by States/Union Territories (UTs).

Based on the project proposal submitted by States/UTs, a total of 122.06 lakh houses including 10.43 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0, have been sanctioned since inception of the scheme by the Ministry. Out of which 113.85 lakh houses have been grounded and 96.02 lakh are completed/ delivered to the beneficiaries  across  the  country,  as  on  24.11.2025.  A  total  of  11,670 houses  have  been  sanctioned  in  Bhiwandi  Nizampur  City,  Maharashtra under PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0,  of which, 11,351 have been grounded, 9,249  have  been  completed,  and  8,861  have  been  handed  over  to beneficiaries so far.

There is no project sanctioned under In-Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR) vertical under PMAY(U) scheme in Bhiwandi City.
