Summary
A PMAY is an ambitious affordable housing scheme that aims to build new housing units for the poor and provide financial aid to aspiring home buyers. Read on to know how you can check your PMAY application status.
Since the introduction of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in 2015, thousands of aspiring home buyers have benefited, which has helped them be homeowners. One of the primary objectives of this landmark affordable housing initiative is to build more than two crore affordable housing units for the poor across India’s selected urban locations. The scheme aims to eliminate the slums in India and provide every citizen with a permanent residence.
Another important aspect of the PMAY scheme is the CLSS (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme). Under the scheme, the government aims to provide financial help to aspiring home buyers by offering them a subsidy on the home loan interest rate. The percentage of the subsidy you get depends on the income group you belong to.
To ensure that every citizen gets maximum benefit from the scheme, the government has divided the potential beneficiaries into three different income categories.
- People with an annual income up to Rs. 6 lakhs are categorised as EWS/LIG and are eligible to get a subsidy of Rs. 2.67 lakhs
- People with an annual income ranging from Rs. 6 lakhs to Rs. 12 lakhs are categorised under the MIG I (middle income group) category. They are eligible to get a subsidy of Rs. 2.35 lakhs
- People with an annual household income ranging from 12 to 18 lakhs are categorised under the MIG II category, and they are eligible to get a subsidy of Rs. 2.30 lakhs
Apart from the income limitation, you must meet the following requirements to avail of the subsidy benefit under the PMAY scheme.
- You or any of your family members should not own a pucca house anywhere in India
- You or any of your family members should not have availed of financial assistance under any other housing scheme
