Overview

What is the scheme?

The Union Cabinet approved Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) on 9 August 2024. It aims to help 1 crore urban poor and middle-class families build, buy or rent a house at an affordable cost over 5 years. It runs through four verticals:

• BLC (Beneficiary Led Construction): EWS families build a new pucca house of 30–45 sq m on their own land. Repair or extension of an existing house is not covered.
• AHP (Affordable Housing in Partnership): 30–45 sq m homes for EWS families in public or private projects.
• ARH (Affordable Rental Housing): rental homes for EWS/LIG people such as urban migrants, working women and industrial workers.
• ISS (Interest Subsidy Scheme): interest subsidy on home loans, for houses with carpet area up to 120 sq m.

Eligibility

• Family = husband, wife, unmarried sons and/or unmarried daughters.
• Annual household income up to ₹9 lakh (EWS up to ₹3 lakh, LIG ₹3–6 lakh, MIG ₹6–9 lakh).
• No family member owns a pucca house anywhere in India.
• No house allotted under any government housing scheme in the last 20 years.
• Aadhaar is required for all family members.

Preference goes to widows, single women, persons with disabilities, senior citizens, transgender persons, SC/ST, minorities, sanitation workers, street vendors under PM SVANidhi, PM Vishwakarma artisans, Anganwadi workers and construction workers.

Documents

Aadhaar (applicant and family), income certificate, bank account and IFSC, and land ownership proof for BLC. If you choose SC/ST/OBC, upload a caste certificate. Married women applicants must give the husband’s Aadhaar details. Under ISS, a self-certificate or affidavit serves as income proof.

Keep in mind

You cannot edit the form after Final Save, so check everything first. False income declarations can lead to legal action. States may set a cut-off date for residence in the town, so confirm with your local body.
