What is Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY)?

The PMAY is a Government-backed Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) wherein the mission is to provide affordable housing for all by the year 2022. Originally committed to providing housing for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and the Low Income Group (LIG), the scheme was further expanded on 1st January 2017, to include the Middle-Income Groups (MIGs) as well.

Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) for EWS/LIG/MIG I & II under PMAY-U has been discontinued from 1^st April, 2022. For existing customers, the subsidy will be processed as per the contract from NHB.

Advantages of PMAY

The following are the main features or benefits of the PM Awas Yojana :

Subsidy Benefit

Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of the PMAY scheme is the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana subsidy that can be availed up to Rs. 2.67 lakhs. Individuals meeting the PM Awas Yojana eligibility can enjoy partnerable affordable housing, subsidised individual house construction or improvement, and rehabilitation of slum dwellers, an in-situ basis.

Extended Loan Tenure

PM Awas Yojana offers its beneficiaries a loan tenure that extends up to 20 years. As a result, beneficiaries can enjoy low repayment instalments.

No Loan Limits

The PM Awas Yojana does not give a specified limit on the loan amount that can be borrowed. Hence, beneficiaries can take a housing loan as per their need provided they will be able to repay it by the end of its term.

Option of Additional Loan

Beneficiaries that need housing loans above and beyond what offered under PM Awas Yojana can apply for additional loans. The important thing to note here is that such loans will be given at non-subsidised rates and the lender will charge a normal processing fee.

Benefits for Women and Minorities

The PM Awas Yojana makes female home ownership or co-ownership of the property a mandatory clause under the EWS and LIG categories and an optional clause under the MIG I and MIG II categories. Moreover, preference provisions are available for salaried women, widows, transgender, the disabled, and senior citizens. For example – If a senior citizen applies under this scheme, they can be assured of ground floor accommodation.

Eco-Friendly Construction

The houses built under the PM Awas Yojana are done so using eco-friendly construction technology and materials. This will lower environmental pollution and ensure minimal damage in and around the site of construction.

Launched in 2015, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) or PMAY (U) is a scheme by the Central Government with the mission of providing affordable housing for all income groups in urban areas within 2015 to 2022. Here are some important facts about PM Awas Yojana-U:

Loans higher than these can be availed of at non-subsidized rates.

As with any other loan, it is essential to consider the impact of the loan amount and its long-term effect on your financial goals before arriving at any figure.

Both applicants must qualify for the minimum income eligibility of the PM Awas Yojana, and their household or family income must be less than Rs 18 lakh.

Loans taken under PM Awas Yojana are similar to any other housing loan in terms of repayment.
