Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) List 2023 & How to Check

Though Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana sounds like a scheme or policy; however, it is taken as a mission by the Government of India. This flagship mission was launched on 25th June 2015 and is implemented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The scheme aims to ensure housing for all, including the poor and marginalized sections of society. The Awas Yojana has two parts -

PM Awas Yojana Urban

The original aim of the Awas Yojana was to provide "pucca" houses to all eligible sections of the urban populace belonging to economically weaker section (EWS), low-income group (LIG), and middle-income group (MIG) categories by 2022. At the time of writing, the stats corresponding to the PM Awas Yojana (Urban) are as follows-
  • 122.69 Lakhs house sanctioned
  • 105.03 Lakhs houses grounded
  • 64.05 Lakhs houses completed
  • ₹127553 Crores central assistance released
  • ₹8.31 Lakh crore total investment

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin

The Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana was inducted as a complementary component of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban. It intends to provide a "pucca" house, encompassing at least basic amenities" to all households currently without them. Hence, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana List also aims to include the families who currently reside in "kutcha" houses.
The immediate objective of PM Awas Yojana is to provide one crore pucca houses to households currently dwelling in dilapidated/kutcha houses. Currently, the minimum house size to be constructed has been increased from 20 square meters to 25 square meters.

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin: Features

  • The unit cost is shared between the central and state governments in a 60:40 ratio in plain regions.
  • The assistance has been increased from ₹70,000 to ₹1.20 lakh/unit in plain regions.
  • In IAP Districts, difficult areas, and hilly states, assistance is increased from ₹75,000 to ₹1.30 lakh/unit, with a split ratio of 90:10 between the central and state governments.
  • The center pays 100% of the grant for the union territory of Ladakh.
  • Per the Awas Yojana guidelines, the carpet size of a house could be up to 30 square feet. However, the states and union territories can increase the house sizes upon the ministry's approval.
  • Houses financed by PM Awas Yojana include all essential amenities, such as electricity, water supply, kitchen, and toilet.
  • The beneficiaries of this scheme also receive ₹90.95/day worth of unskilled labour from MGNREGA.
  • The respective Gram Sabhas pick beneficiaries based on socio-economic and caste census (SECC) parameters.
  • Attempts would be made to provide piped drinking water, LPG gas connection, electricity connection, etc., using other government programs.
  • Moreover, the beneficiaries are entitled to receive ₹12,000 as assistance to construct toilets under Swach Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G).

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban: Features

  • PMAY(U) has a demand-driven approach wherein the states and UTs assess the housing shortage. The chief stakeholders that play crucial roles in the implementation of this scheme are central nodal agencies, state-level nodal agencies, implementing agencies, and primary lending institutions (banks and housing finance companies).
  • The PM Awas Yojana Urban encompasses the entire urban area. Hence, it consists of development authorities, industrial development authorities, special area development authorities, notified planning areas, and statutory towns. This scheme also covers any other authority under state legislation that may deal with urban planning and regulations.
  • The scheme is available to applicants who do not currently own a house anywhere in India.
  • The PM Awas Yojana would aid the building of houses up to 30 square meters in carpet area, with all basic amenities. Affordable housing partnership projects and slum redevelopment projects should have all essential amenities like electricity, road, water, sanitation, and sewerage. Akin to that urban local bodies (ULBs) would ensure that beneficiaries under the credit-linked subsidy and beneficiary-led construction may also avail the essential civic services.
  • The assistance from the center would be released directly to the approved beneficiaries' bank accounts per the recommendations of their respective states/UTs.
  • The final installment of ₹30,000 of central assistance would be released only after the house completion/possession.
  • The construction progress of the houses would be tracked through geo-tagging.
  • To avoid possible benefit duplication to a household, their Aadhaars, bank account numbers, house owner certificates, electoral IDs, etc, should be added to the Housing for All Plan of Action (HFAPoA) database.
  • Awas Yojana Urban empowers women and marginalized sections of society. Women are preferred as applicants, especially widows and single women. Also, in the case of married applicants, house ownership is provided in the woman's name. Similarly, disabled people, transgender people, minorities, scheduled castes/tribes, and other backward classes also get preferences.

PMAY Urban: Implementation Verticals

PMAY Urban is implemented into four verticals.
  • Beneficiary-led individual house construction or enhancement (BLC): These subsidies are meant to construct or extend individual houses for the populace belonging to the EWS category. These families can avail of central assistance of ₹1.5 lakh under this scheme. The state should be responsible for preparing apt projects for such subsidy recipients.
  • Affordable Housing in Partnership with the public or private sector (AHP): These construction projects can be in partnerships with private or public entities, including semi-government or government agencies. Criteria for central assistance in these projects are that 35% of these houses should be dedicated to the EWS category populace and there would be a minimum of 250 such houses. Under this scheme, the centre would assist to the tune of ₹1.5 lakh per house (only belonging to the EWS category).
  • In-situ slum redevelopment (ISSR): All eligible slum dwellers contributing land for redevelopment in partnership with private entities would be supported to the tune of ₹1 lakh. There is a provision for additional efforts to make the project viable in the form of extra FSI/TFR/FAR.
  • Credit linked subsidy scheme (CLSS): Under this scheme, eligible beneficiaries belonging to EWS/low-income group (LIG), middle-income group (MIG)-I-II receive subsidies of 6.5%, 4%, and 3% on loan amounts of up to ₹6 lakh, ₹12 lakh, and ₹18 lakh, respectively. The applicants may seek loans from housing finance companies, banks, and other similar institutions.

UAN Member Portal - Login, Passbook, Registration, & How to Activate

A Universal Account Number, or UAN, is a specific and unique identification number issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment and assigned to every member of the Employees' Provident Fund Organization or EPFO. The UAN is a 12-digit unique number. As a member, you can have only one UAN during the tenure, and all your EPF accounts will be linked to that UAN. If you change your job, there could be changes in your EPF account number or Member ID number, but the UAN remains the same. If, at a given point, the member has accidentally been assigned two UAN IDs, the same should be immediately reported to the employer and EPFO so that the old UAN can be deactivated and the EPF corpus can be transferred to the new UAN PF account.

EPF Balance India & How to Check it Online via Mobile Number & SMS

It is no secret that the Employee Provident Fund, or EPF, plays an extremely important role in an employee's financial life. It acts like an effective retirement fund supported by equal monthly contributions from the employee and the company. To keep track of the long-term contributions from both parties, a digital [EPF member passbook](https://upstox.com/saving-schemes/epfo-passbook-download/) is usually made available to every employee who is an EPFO member, wherein the EPF balance placed into the account is shown. Employee Provident Fund (EPF) contributions generally comprise 12% of an employee's gross income plus a matching amount from the employer. While taxes are not applied to the employer's EPF contribution, the employee can benefit from a tax deduction for contributions made to the EPF under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. In other words, from an employee's perspective, payments to the EPF, interest that accrues on the PF balance, and withdrawals of money after the requisite specified duration (5 years) are all completely tax-free. When the employees retire, they get a tax-free lump payment from the Employee Provident Fund, which, as expected, includes the full contribution from both the company and the employee (EPFO), wherein the organisation determines the fixed annual interest rate. When calculating the interest accrued to the EPF account, the account's balance comes into play. While the annual percentage rate used to compute interest is 8.75%, every year on April 1st, the interest is computed on the total amount in the EPF account. All employees must be aware that although EPF withdrawals occur regularly, interest is determined annually. Therefore, it becomes much more important to regularly conduct your PF Balance check, especially at the start of the year.
