Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U)

 

Launched on June 25, 2015, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) Mission aims to provide homes for everybody in urban areas by 2022.

According to PMAY (U) standards, the carpet area of a house for Economically Weak Section (EWS) might be up to 30 square meters; however, the respective States/UTs have the freedom to increase the size of dwellings with the Ministry's consultation and consent.

Making a Social Shift

In continuation with the government's attempts to empower women from EWS and LIG, and in contrast to past programmes, PMAY (U) stipulates that the female head of the household must be the owner or co-owner of the home in order to qualify for a loan.

The Mission provides about 1.12 billion rupees as Centre/Union Assistance to the implementing agencies via States/Union Territories (UTs) and Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs) in order to deliver dwellings to all eligible families/beneficiaries against the verified demand for housing.

It is a social welfare programme through which the government aims to give financial aid to homeless individuals recognized by SECC (Social Economic and Caste Census),2011 statistics in order to assist them in constructing a dwelling of decent quality for their own residential use.

Costing Formula

In this scheme, the cost of unit aid is split in a ratio as follows:

• 60:40 between the Central and State governments in plain areas and
