How APSHCL schemes connect to home loan financing

APSHCL schemes provide base financial assistance — but the total cost of construction often exceeds the government grant. For families who need supplemental financing beyond the scheme amount, a home construction loan can bridge the gap.


If you own a house site and are not covered under a government scheme, or if you need to supplement scheme support with additional financing, Bajaj Finance offers home loans from 7.25% p.a.** with amounts up to Rs. 15 Crore* and tenures up to 32 years. Check your eligibility today.


APSHCL has been instrumental in improving housing conditions for millions of BPL families in Andhra Pradesh over 4 decades. With Rs. 6,317 crore allocated for FY 2025-26 and a commitment to housing all poor before 2029, the state's housing drive is at its most ambitious scale. For families needing supplemental financing, Bajaj Finance offers home loans from 7.25% p.a.** with amounts up to Rs. 15 Crore*. Check your eligibility today. 

Frequently Asked Questions

About APSHCL schemes

Financial assistance

How do you apply for Pedalandariki Illu or other APSHCL schemes in 2026?

Applications are managed at the district level. Visit your local APSHCL district office or Mandal Revenue Office with your Aadhaar card, income certificate, and land documents (if applicable). The Awaas+ 2024 app can also be used to register for rural housing surveys. Your eligibility is verified based on BPL status, land ownership, and current housing conditions.

What does "registered in women's name" mean under Pedalandariki Illu?

Under the Pedalandariki Illu scheme, the house site allotted to the family is registered in the name of the female head of household (or jointly if no female head). This promotes women's property ownership and financial security. It also protects the family home from being transferred or sold without the woman's knowledge.

How is APSHCL housing assistance disbursed?

Financial assistance is disbursed in instalments linked to construction milestones, similar to the PMAY-G model. The first instalment is released after sanction and foundation completion. Subsequent instalments are released as construction progresses, verified through geo-tagged photographs and field officer visits.

What is the Awaas+ 2024 app and who should use it?

The Awaas+ 2024 mobile app is a government survey tool used to identify rural households that may have been left out of earlier PMAY surveys. If you believe you are eligible for rural housing assistance but are not registered, use the app to submit your details. State authorities review Awaas+ submissions quarterly for inclusion in the beneficiary list.
