What is the Eligibility for PMAY Scheme?

What is the Eligibility for PMAY Scheme?

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY), announced on June 25, 2015, is a godsend to many when it comes to owning a home and managing housing finance. It provides a subsidy in taking out a housing loan and the purchase of a home to certain groups of buyers. The subsequent home loan also offers some tax benefits under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Here’s all you need to know about the eligibility criteria for the PMAY scheme.

PMAY Income Group Classification

People applying for the PMAY are divided into the following categories:

  1. Economically Weaker Section (EWS), whose annual household income is less than Rs. 3 lakhs
  2. Light Income Group (LIG), whose annual household income is between Rs. 3 lakhs and 6 lakhs
  3. Middle Income Group 1 (MIG1), whose annual household income is between Rs. 6 lakhs and Rs. 12 lakhs, and who can take out loans of up to Rs. 9 lakhs with 4% subsidy
  4. Middle Income Group 2 (MIG2), whose annual household income is between Rs. 12 lakhs and Rs. 18 lakhs, and who can take out home loan up to Rs. 12 lakhs with 3% subsidy
  5. Minorities, which includes people belonging to the SC/ST/OBC categories, and for which a relevant certificate must be furnished
  6. Women, where all the women applying under LIG or EWS categories will be considered

  2. The applicant must not have partaken of any other housing assistance scheme by either the state or the central government.
  3. An adult female from the family is required for the ownership of the property. This is only mandatory for EWS and LIG applicants.

  5. The property should be located in one of the statutory towns identified in 2011 through the census or in their surrounding and developing areas.
