Difference between PMAY Gramin and PMAY Urban

Difference between PMAY Gramin and PMAY Urban

On June 1, 2015, the Government of India launched its flagship housing project – the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). With an aim to provide affordable housing for all by 2022, the scheme emphasizes on providing low-cost pucca homes to the poor in both urban and rural areas. Basic amenities such as water supply, proper sanitation and electricity are also to be provided.

For streamlining purposes, the scheme is divided into two components –

  • Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban/PMAY Urban/PMAYU
  • Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin/PMAY Gramin/PMAYG

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban/PMAY Urban/PMAYU

To address the housing requirements of all the different beneficiaries, PMAYU operates in 4 verticals –

1. In-Situ Slum Redevelopment

Redeveloping slums irrespective of the land on which it exists. The land could be privately owned or it could be owned by the Central Government, State Government or Urban Local Bodies (ULB)

2. Credit Linked Subsidy Schemes (CLSS)

Manual scavengers, women, people with disabilities, transgenders and people belonging to SC, ST, OBC categories and minorities get preference under this scheme.

3. Affordable Housing in Partnership with Private & Public Sectors

Financial assistance of Rs 1.5 lakhs is provided to each house built for people in Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)

4. Beneficiary-Led Individual House Construction/Enhancement

Individuals belonging to EWS get guidance to either construct a new house or restructure an existing one.

Eligibility

Category Income Maximum Interest Subsidy Provided Maximum Loan Amount
Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) Less than 3 Lakhs 6.5% 6 Lakhs
Lower Income Group (LIG) 3 Lakhs – 6 Lakhs 6.5% 6 Lakhs
Middle Income Group – I (MIG – I) 6 Lakhs – 12 Lakhs 4% 9 Lakhs
Middle Income Group – II (MIG – II) 12 Lakhs – 18 Lakhs 3% 12 Lakhs

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin/PMAY Gramin/PMAYG

Features of PMAYG –

  • Funds are transferred electronically to the Bank or Post Office account of the beneficiary.
  • Solid and liquid wastes generated by the households are managed under PMAY-G.
  • National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) provides drinking water to households under PMAY-G.
  • Beneficiaries also receive good quality cooking fuel.
  • The total estimated expenditure of PMAY-G is Rs. 60,000 crores.

Eligibility

Beneficiaries for the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana are chosen by the Gram Sabha based on the data collected in the Socio-Economic and Caste Census of 2011 (SECC 2011). If the applicant’s name is mentioned in the list issued by the Gram Sabha, then he/she is eligible for assistance of 1.2 Lakhs for houses in the plains and 1.3 Lakhs for houses located in areas that are difficult to access.

PMAY Gramin and PMAY Urban may be two separate schemes, but they serve a common purpose. The primary reason for the bifurcation of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is to ensure that the two different administrations can pay complete attention and concentrate on their respective regions and the associated duties.
