How Can You Reduce Your Home Loan EMI using PMAY

How Can You Reduce Your Home Loan EMI using PMAY

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme, a revolutionary affordable housing scheme launched by the Indian government, has two basic components - Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) (PMAY-U) for the urban poor and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Gramin) (PMAY-G/PMAY-R) for the rural poor. As part of the mission, the government provides subsidy in the form of Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). The beneficiaries can avail interest subsidy on a home loan and can thus speed up the repayment.

Under PMAY, eligible groups can get an interest subsidy on their home loan EMIs. So, how do you avail this subsidy? Read on to find out about this home loan subsidy.

Scope and Coverage of PMAY

The house’s ownership must either be in the name of a female member or should be joint with the wife. However, this condition is not mandatory in cases of construction or renovation of an existing kuccha/semi-pucca house. Moreover, none of the family members should own a pucca house in their name in any part of India. For the EWS category, the carpet area of the house must be up to 30 sq. mts and for the LIG category the limit is 60 sq. mts. 

Under the scheme, women are given preference. Additionally, single working women, widows, differently-abled women, and those belonging to scheduled castes and tribes are given preference.
