## 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 including  Andhra  Pradesh.  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  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  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).

Under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana-Urban  (PMAY-U),  fixed  Central Assistance of ₹1.50 lakh per house was provided to States/UTs under the Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC) and Affordable Housing in Partnership  (AHP)  verticals.  Provision  of  State/UT  share  under  the scheme was not mandatory and was decided by the respective State/UT Governments  and  most  States/UTs  including  Andhra  Pradesh,  provided State share to ensure that the houses remained affordable for beneficiaries. In Andhra Pradesh, the State share differed depending on the  project,  location  and  Urban  Local  Body  (ULB)  also.  Further,  under PMAY-U  2.0,  a  fixed  amount  of  Central  Assistance  is  provided  by Government  of  India  under  different  verticals.  As  per  the  scheme guidelines, State/UT share is mandatory under PMAY-U 2.0. Central/State share under BLC/AHP verticals of PMAY-U 2.0 for Himalayan and NorthEastern  States/UTs  with  legislature  is  90:10,  100:0  for  UTs  without legislature and 60:40 for other States, including Andhra Pradesh.

Apart from the minimum State Share, the State Governments may also provide additional top-up share to increase affordability.

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. 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  Andhra Pradesh, a total of 19.48 lakh houses have been sanctioned under PMAY -U & PMAY-U 2.0 for the State, out of which only 11.24 lakh houses have completed,  so  far  since  inception  of  the  scheme.  A  total  Central Assistance of ₹29,811.97 crore has been sanctioned, of which ₹24,045.06 crores has already been released under PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0, so far, based  on  compliances  received  from  the  State.  As  per  information provided  by  Govt.  of  Andhra  Pradesh,  the  year-wise  details  of  houses sanctioned and completed under PMAY-U/PMAY-U 2.0, Central Assistance sanctioned and released to State, the corresponding Central/State share provided by the State to the executing agencies and the unspent balance available with the State/executing agencies at the end of each financial year are given at Annexure.
