(a): 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.  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).

Based on the project proposal submitted by State, 7,233 houses have been sanctioned,  out  of  which  5,877  have  been  completed  under  PMAY-U  and PMAY-U 2.0 including  1,287 houses  sanctioned  and  45  houses  completed under PMAY-U 2.0 in the Dahod Lok Sabha Parliamentary Constituency of Gujarat. The progress of the scheme can also be accessed on the PMAY-U dashboard (https://dashboard.pmay-urban.gov.in).

(b): MoHUA launched Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) as a sub-scheme of PMAY-U in July 2020 to address the housing need faced by migrant workers, urban poor and informal sector labourers from Economically  Weaker  Section  (EWS)/Low  Income  Group  (LIG)  category across  the  country.  This  scheme  has  been  implemented  through  two models.

Under  Model-1,  a  total  of  5,783  Government  funded  vacant  houses  have been converted into  ARHCs,  so  far.  Additionally,  proposals  for  converting 7,413  existing  Government  funded  vacant  houses  into  ARHC  units  have been  processed  in  the  States  of  Gujarat,  Himachal  Pradesh,  Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Further, based on the proposals submitted by  States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  under  Model-2,  MoHUA  has  approved proposals for construction of 83,298 new ARHC units in several States. Out of this, 40,630 ARHC units have been completed. No proposal under ARHCs has  been  received  from  Government  of  Gujarat  for  Dahod  Lok  Sabha Parliamentary Constituency of Gujarat.

Further, based on the learnings of ARHCs, a dedicated vertical of Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) has been provisioned under PMAY-U 2.0 which aims the workplaces of the intended beneficiaries including urban migrants/industrial workers/working  women/students/urban  poor  etc.  The  ARH  vertical  is to promote construction of affordable rental housing close to implemented through two models:

Model-1:  Converting  existing  Government  funded  vacant  houses  into  ARH through Public Private Partnership mode or by Public Agencies.

Model-2: Construct, Operate and Maintain rental housing by Private/Public Entities for urban poor, working women, employees of Industries, Industrial Estates, Institutions and other eligible EWS/LIG families.

An  Expression  of  Interest  (EoI)  has  been  issued  by  the  Ministry  for submission  of  project  proposals  for  construction  of  new  ARH  units  by  all interested Public/Private Entities under PMAY-U 2.0.

(c): As  per  the  scheme  guidelines  of  PMAY-U  2.0,  the  fund  required  for purchase/construction of houses under the scheme is shared between the Central  Government,  State/UT  Government/ULBs/Implementing  agencies and the beneficiaries. The funding under PMAY-U 2.0 is to provide a nudge to the beneficiaries and enable them to construct their houses by arranging funds from other sources as well. Government Assistance under BLC/AHP verticals  of  PMAY-U  2.0  for  Himalayan/  North-eastern  States/UTs  with legislature  have  been  fixed  at  a  ratio  of  90:10.  For  Remaining  UTs,  the Central  &  State  sharing  ratio  is  100:0  whereas  for  other  States  it  is  on 60:40. 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.  However,  States/UTs  may  provide enhanced State share to reduce the burden on beneficiaries.
