What is Housing For All By 2022 Mission in India

What is Housing For All By 2022 Mission in India

Being able to own your house is a dream that many in India are still not able to fulfil. To make housing available for everyone, the Government of India came up with the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana housing initiative back in 2015.

The PMAY Yojana or the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Programme launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA), envisions ‘Housing for All by 2022’ to combat the significant deficit in housing among the urban poor population. 

What Is the Aim of the ‘Housing for All by 2022’ Mission?

Due to rapid urbanisation, the country is in dire need of urban amenities, especially housing for the economically-backwards groups. Since there is a severe lack of housing in the urban areas, the Government hopes to construct two crore houses under the PM Awas Yojana (PMAY) by 2022 through the following verticals.

  • Slum rehabilitation- Rehabilitation of slum-dwellers with the participation of private developers using land as a resource.
  • Credit Linked Subsidy (CLSS)- The weaker sections of the economy will be given Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana subsidy on home loans. This home loan subsidy can be availed for new construction and for the addition of rooms such as toilets, kitchen, etc.

  • Affordable housing through partnerships- Financial assistance will be given to Economically Weaker Section (EWS) houses when it is built in partnership with public or private sector players. 
  • Beneficiary led individual house construction or enhancements- This subsidy will be given to EWS categories to either construct new houses or enhance their existing houses.

This Mission is to be implemented as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) except for the Credit Linked Subsidy component, which will be executed as a Central Sector Scheme.

Beneficiaries of the PMAY Scheme

The ‘Housing for all by 2022’ will benefit the following:

  • Economically Weaker Section (EWS)
  • Low-Income Groups (LIGs)
  • Middle-Income Groups (MIGs)

To identify as an EWS or LIG beneficiary under the PMAY scheme, an individual loan candidate will have to present an affidavit as income proof to the concerned authority.

A beneficiary family in the PMAY List will comprise of a husband, wife, and unmarried children. Moreover, for the PMAY eligibility, the beneficiary family should not already have a house either on their name or in the name of any other family anywhere in India.

The PMAY scheme also encourages women empowerment, which is why the houses to be acquired under PMAY preferably should be in the name of the woman head of the household, or the joint name of the male head and his wife.
