What is Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana?
PMAY is a government-led housing initiative designed to help people from economically weaker backgrounds own a home, aiming to make affordable housing available in both rural and urban areas. Now in its second phase across both components, the scheme continues to drive India's "Housing for All" mission. It has two main categories:
- PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U) — for people living in cities and towns
- PMAY-Gramin (PMAY-G) — for families living in villages and rural regions
PMAY is closely linked to other central schemes including Swachh Bharat Mission–Gramin, Saubhagya Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, and Jal Jeevan Mission, ensuring beneficiaries receive not just a house but a better overall standard of living.
Key facts about PMAY in 2026
- PMAY-Urban: Active since 1 September 2024, PMAY-U 2.0 supports Beneficiary-led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH), and the Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS) for eligible income groups. Central assistance of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh is provided for individual house construction under BLC. As of February 2026, over 13.61 lakh houses have been sanctioned under PMAY-U 2.0, with the total sanctioned under the overall PMAY-Urban mission (since 2015) standing at 122.50 lakh, of which over 97 lakh have been completed. Note: The earlier Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) closed on 31 March 2022; the ISS is its current-phase successor under PMAY-U 2.0.
- PMAY-Gramin: New beneficiaries are identified using the Awaas+ survey process and the AwaasApp. Total revised target: 4.95 crore houses (including 2 crore additional homes approved for FY 2024–25 to FY 2028–29); as of March 2026, approximately 3 crore rural houses have been completed.
- Funding: The 2024-25 Union Budget announced central assistance of Rs. 2.2 lakh crore over five years for PMAY-Urban 2.0, as part of a total investment of Rs. 10 lakh crore targeting 1 crore urban families. Separately, PMAY-Gramin's extended phase carries a total outlay of Rs. 3.06 lakh crore for 2 crore additional rural homes through 2029.
- Monitoring: Accountability is ensured through community monitoring via Self Help Groups (SHGs) and formal social audits in every Gram Panchayat. Payments are transferred via the AwaasSoft-PFMS platform, with geo-tagged, time-stamped construction photographs required at every stage before funds are released.
Who is eligible for PMAY 2026?
A household under PMAY includes husband, wife, and unmarried children. An unmarried earning adult may apply independently subject to the eligibility conditions prescribed under PMAY-U 2.0. Beneficiaries must not have previously received assistance for a house under any Government housing scheme and must satisfy all eligibility conditions under PMAY-U 2.0.
| Income group | PMAY eligibility criteria |

| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | Annual income up to Rs. 3 lakh |
| Low Income Group (LIG) | Annual income Rs. 3-6 lakh |
| Middle Income Group (MIG) | Annual income Rs. 6-9 lakh |
Applicants must not own a pucca house anywhere in India (in their own name or a family member's name). Under PMAY-U 2.0, the house must be registered in the name of the female head of the household or held jointly with a male member
