The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation has set a route map and has also made clear the eligibility criteria a prospective applicant need to meet. Also has enlisted the help of some leading banks in the country to provide loans for construction under PMAY. The banks offer loans at a comparatively lower rate as government pays the rest on behalf of the applicant. This model of subsidized loans helps more economically weaker people to build a house. Here’s what it looks like:
Section | Annual Family Income | Maximum carpet area |
EWS | Rs.3 lakh | 60 square meters (645.83 square feet) |
LIG | Rs.6 lakh | 60 square meters (645.83 square feet) |
MIG1 | Rs.6 lakh to Rs.12 lakh | 160 square meters (1722.33 square feet) |
MIG2 | Rs.12 lakh to Rs.18 lakh | 200 square meters (2152.78 square feet) |
In order to avail a house or financial reinforcement from the government, every applicant needs to meet the eligibility criteria set by the PMAY committee. Prospective applicants have been branched into six distinct groups
Besides this, there is a basic requirement an applicant has to meet. For instance, if the beneficiary is a family, it must comprise of a husband, wife, and unmarried children. Also, no person from the family should own a house in their name.
