## 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  across  the  country. 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 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).

Based  on  the  project  proposals  submitted  by  States/Union  Territories (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. Out of which, 114.84 lakh houses have been grounded and 97.02 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries across the country as on 22.01.2026. A total of 7,601 houses  have  been  sanctioned  for  Kharar  (Mohali)  and  890  houses  for Rupnagar Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Out of which, 7,514 and 890 have been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries respectively.

A  total  of  ₹170.91  crore  have  been  sanctioned  for  Kharar,  of  which ₹169.6 crore is released to the State. A total of ₹18.12 crore have been sanctioned  for  Rupnagar,  of  which  ₹  17.98  crore  has  already  been released to the State. There has been no delay in release of funds to the State of Punjab.

As per the Scheme Guidelines of PMAY-U, Central Assistance is released to States/UTs in three instalments of 40%, 40% and 20%. The release of Central Assistance is incumbent upon fulfilment of mandatory compliances by the concerned States/UTs viz. submission of Utilisation Certificates  (UCs),  Aadhaar  seeding  of  beneficiaries,  Action  Taken Report (ATR) on the recommendations of Third Party Quality Monitoring Agencies  (TPQMA),  Geo-tagging  of  progress  of  construction  stages  of houses/projects,  registration  of  projects  under  Real  Estate  (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), etc. and other instructions issued by  the  Ministry.  Due  installments  are  released  to  States/UTs  based  on compliances as per PMAY-U Guidelines.

The Ministry conducts regular review with the States/UTs on progress of the scheme including timely completion and allotment of all sanctioned houses within stipulated timeline. The progress of the scheme can also be accessed on the PMAY-U dashboard (https://dashboard.pmayurban.gov.in).
