Launched on 25 June 2015, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban (PMAY-U) aims to cater the ever increasing demands of housing in urban areas. Under the scheme, also known as Housing for All by 2024 scheme, the Government will undertake construction of 20 million (2 Crore) homes on the urban areas of the country. Out of the 20 million homes, about 18 million will be developed to cater the needs of slum households which is increasing at a decadal growth rate of 34%. The rest 2 million homes will be provided to non-slum urban poor.

According to current estimates, the urban population of the country is about 414 million which is set to see a phenomenal growth in the coming years. By the year 2050, it is estimated to reach up to 814 million people, an increase of about 400 million from current levels. Providing affordable housing, sanitation, infrastructure, and a safe environment are the biggest challenges for the country’s well-wishers or we can say the Government. At present, the housing development in the cities are being led by the private real estate developers who decides the areas and the cost of the housing for the end consumers. This is the reason why the real estate prices have skyrocketed over the past couple of decades leaving the common man with only dreams of owning a house.
PMAY Urban Scheme Extension
Union cabinet approved extension of flagship Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana urban housing scheme till 31 December 2024. Launched in 2015, the original deadline for the scheme aimed at providing affordable housing with incentives was March 2022. It was launched with the aim to achieve housing for all by 2022. Central assistance approved since 2015 is ₹2.03 trillion. Up to 31 March 2022, central assistance or subsidy of ₹1.18 trillion has already been released and ₹85,406 crore will be released as central assistance till 31 December 2024, the said a statement from the housing ministry. The continuation of the scheme based on the request of states and union territories up to 31 December 2024 will help in completion of already sanctioned houses.
Recently, the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs, Kaushal Kishore told the parliament said the government is considering to extend the flagship scheme up to 2024. In a written reply in Lok Sabha, Kishore said: “A proposal seeking extension of the Mission up to March 2024, to complete all houses sanctioned under the scheme up to March 31, 2022 without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology, is under consideration. Meanwhile, an interim extension of 6 months for all verticals except Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme has been granted.” According to data on the PMAY site, a total of 12.26 million houses have been sanctioned so far, out of which 61.77 lakh houses have been completed. The extension comes at a time the pandemic has impacted the completion of projects under the scheme.
During the budget speech for FY23, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had stressed upon faster clearances for projects of urban housing. “The central government will work with the state governments for reduction of time required for all land and construction related approvals, for promoting affordable housing for middle class and economically weaker sections in urban areas. We shall also work with the financial sector regulators to expand access to capital along with reduction in cost of intermediation,” she had said. In December 2021, the cabinet had approved the extension of the rural housing scheme, PMAY-Gramin (Rural) till March 2024.
Housing for all is one of the major flagship programmes being implemented by government of India to provide all weather pucca houses to all eligible beneficiaries in the urban areas of the country through states, union territories and central nodal agencies. The scheme covers the entire urban area of the country — all statutory towns as per Census 2011 and towns notified subsequently. The scheme is being implemented through four verticals, Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), In-situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). While Centre provides the financial assistance, state governments and union territories implement the scheme including selection of beneficiaries.
About PMAY-U
Under the scheme, a central grant of Rs. 1 Lakh to 2.3 Lakh will be provided to the urban poor beneficiaries of the scheme. The grant will come as part of up to 4% interest rate subsidy scheme for the lower income groups. This means that the LIG applicants who wanted to buy a home under the scheme may apply for a housing loan with interest subsidy of up to 4% percent for a tenure or term of up to 20 years.

The total benefit received by this loan subsidy will add up to INR 1 to 2.3 lakh to each applicant. The subsidy will be a major relief for the home buyers as the currently housing loan interest rates are estimated at about 8.5 percent. The ‘Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY)’ scheme will replace all previous government housing schemes such as the Rajiv Awas Yojana.
The mission of providing 2 crore homes to urban poor is estimated to cost the central government about INR 3 lakh crore over the next 9 years, according to preliminary estimates. According to the news reports, the government took about one year to complete the operational guidelines of the scheme after rounds of negotiations with states and Union Territories.
PMAY is not the only scheme which will contribute to the development of housing in urban areas, there are other incentives and subsidies under which a grant of INR 1 lakh per beneficiary will be provided to the state governments for the development of housing projects in slum areas.
The government will also launch affordable rental housing scheme at a later stage. An INR 6,000 crore initiative, is meant to combat the proliferation of slums in urban regions. This was initially to be a part of the PMAY scheme but dropped for unknown reasons.
The benefit components
Over the years 2015-2024, the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and other implementing agencies through States/UTs will be provide central assistance for:
- In-situ Rehabilitation of existing slum dwellers using land as a resource through private participation.
- Credit Linked Subsidy.
- Affordable Housing in Partnership.
- Subsidy for beneficiary-led individual house construction/enhancement.
Out of the 4 components, Credit linked subsidy component will be implemented as a Central Sector Scheme while other three components will be implemented as Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS).
The entire urban area consisting of 4041 statutory towns will be covered under the scheme with initial focus on 500 Class I cities in three phases. Credit linked subsidy component of the scheme would be implemented across the country in all statutory towns right from the beginning.
- Phase 1: Under the phase one, housing units will be created in the selected 100 cities in the period from April 2015 to March 2017.
- Phase 2: The next phase will cover about 200 cities for housing development between April 2017 and March 2019.
- Phase 3: The next phase of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana will be implemented in the remaining cities between April 2019 and March 2022.
- Phase 4: Final phase of PMAY Urban will see completion of already sanctioned houses till 31 December 2024.
The government will give flexibility to the state/UT governments to select the best component out of the four to accomplish the mission on time and meet the housing demands. The formulation and approvals of the housing projects under PMAY will be done by the state/UT governments itself in order to implement the scheme faster.
A technology sub-mission has also been incorporated with the PMAY which will work on creating building material, green technologies for modern and innovative housing structures. The sub-mission will also help the states/UTs in deploying the disaster resistant and environmental friendly technologies apart from facilitating the suitable layout designs and building plans.
