## ANSWER

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

- (a) to  (d):  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 including slum dwellers across  the  country.  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  construct, purchase and rent a house by 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries at affordable cost 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).

PMAY-U  and  PMAY-U  2.0  adopts  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 at multiple levels in the States/UTs. The Scheme Guidelines and Unified Web Portal for submitting the online applications can be accessed through https://pmay-urban.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 122.28 lakh houses including 10.66 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0, have been sanctioned by the Ministry, so far across the country including Tier-II cities and periurban  areas.  Of  the  sanctioned  houses,  114.84  lakh  houses  have  been grounded; of which 97.02 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries as on 22.01.2026. Out of the total sanctioned houses under the schemes, about 29 lakh houses have been sanctioned to slum dwellers. The Statewise details  of  number  of  houses  sanctioned,  grounded  and  completed including  State  of  West  Bengal  are  at  Annexure.  The  progress  of  the scheme can also be accessed on the PMAY-U dashboard (https://dashboard.pmay-urban.gov.in).

Moreover,  as  per  PMAY-U  2.0  guidelines,  States/UTs  are  required  to formulate  'Affordable  Housing  Policy'  and  adopt  key  reforms  to  attract private investment and create an enabling eco-system for augmenting the affordable housing stock in the country.

Further, States/UTs are encouraged to ensure convergence of the scheme with  various  other  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  and  Missions  including Smart Cities Mission (SCM), AMRUT 2.0, PM SVANidhi, PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli  Yojana  etc.  and  other  relevant  schemes  for  provision  of  related infrastructure  services.  In  addition,  States/UTs  are  also  encouraged  to explore convergence with relevant State schemes.
