Uttarakhand Atal Awas Yojana (SC) application form 2026 is available to download in PDF format at socialwelfare.uk.gov.in. People belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) category can apply for housing support under the UK Atal Awaas Yojana (SC) scheme.
Social Welfare department of Uttarakhand state runs the revised Atal Awas Yojana (SC) scheme for homeless and needy Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe families. The new UK Atal Awaas Yojna works on similar lines as PM Awas Yojana Gramin of the central government. The earlier version of Atal Awas Yojana was stopped because the old support of Rs. 38,000 for house construction was too low for SC families of Uttarakhand compared with the PMAY G housing scheme.
Now with the revised amount, Atal Awas Yojana (SC) gives financial help to SC and ST families to meet their housing costs. Eligible families get up to Rs. 1.30 lakh in hilly and remote areas and up to Rs. 1.20 lakh in plain areas for building a pucca house.
UK Atal Awas Yojana (SC)
Atal Awas Yojana (SC) is a state housing scheme run by the Social Welfare Department of Uttarakhand. It gives one-time financial support to homeless Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe families so that they can build their own permanent house. The scheme gives priority to families that are homeless and do not have a pucca house of their own.
The funding is shared between the central and state governments. In hilly and Himalayan areas the ratio is 90:10, which means the central government pays 90 percent and the state government pays 10 percent of the approved support. In plain areas the ratio is 60:40, with the central government paying 60 percent and the state government paying 40 percent.
