PMAY-Urban targets EWS/LIG/MIG urban residents for credit-linked subsidy or direct benefit. You are eligible if you do not own a pucca house anywhere in India.
How much money do I get under PMAY Rural?
Under PMAY-G, beneficiaries receive ₹1.20 lakh on plains and ₹1.30 lakh in hilly/north-eastern areas for construction of a new house. An additional ₹12,000 is provided for toilet construction under the Swachh Bharat Mission. Funds are transferred directly to the bank account in instalments.
What is the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) under PMAY Urban?
CLSS provides interest subsidy on home loans for EWS (income up to ₹3 lakh — 6.5% subsidy on ₹6 lakh loan), LIG (up to ₹6 lakh — 6.5% on ₹6 lakh), MIG-I (up to ₹12 lakh — 4% on ₹9 lakh), and MIG-II (up to ₹18 lakh — 3% on ₹12 lakh). Apply through approved banks.
