Key Benefits of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Scheme

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is an initiative that was launched in the year 2015 by the Government of India. The main objective of the PMAY scheme is to achieve “Housing for All” by the year 2022. At the forefront of the scheme is the rising population of the urban dwellers in the country that is bereft of suitable living conditions.

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana eligibility is extended to the economically weaker sections of the society such as minorities, disabled citizens, women, etc. The PMAY Yojana’s various benefits are available to people belonging to these categories.

Here is a list of key benefits that can be availed under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.

1. Credit-linked subsidy

Households with a total annual income between Rs. 6 lakhs and Rs. 18 lakhs can apply for a housing loan under the PMAY scheme. Eligible borrowers of economically weaker sections (EWS), LIG, and MIG income groups can avail the credit-linked Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana subsidy on housing loans. All beneficiaries receive a 6.50% subsidised interest rate annually for home loans with a term of 20 years.
