What is PMAY Surat?
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Surat is the city-level implementation of the Central Government's flagship 'Housing for All' initiative in the city of Surat, Gujarat. Under this programme, the Central Government, in coordination with the Gujarat state government and the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC), constructs and allots housing units to eligible citizens from lower and middle income groups.
PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U) in Surat includes the Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS), which provides an upfront interest subsidy credited directly to the home loan account of eligible beneficiaries, reducing the outstanding principal and lowering EMIs. PMAY 2.0, launched in 2025, continues the scheme with enhanced assistance for EWS families of up to Rs. 2.50 lakh per unit.

What is the objective of PMAY in Surat?
Surat's real estate market is growing rapidly: 45 localities in the city have shown an upward property price trend. This makes it increasingly difficult for EWS, LIG, and MIG households to purchase or construct a home without financial support. PMAY Surat directly addresses this by:
- Constructing and allotting affordable housing units at below-market prices
- Providing interest subsidies through CLSS to reduce the effective home loan cost
- Partnering with state and municipal agencies to fast-track construction
- Prioritising first-time buyers with no existing pucca house in India
