housing needs of vulnerable and marginalised sections, including eligible SC/ST/OBC communities,
minorities, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, transgenders and other marginalized groups, ensuring

addressing the affordable housing gap, empowering millions of urban families with the security of
homeownership and a better quality of life. PMAY-U 2.0 builds upon the foundation of PMAY-U, to
support the housing needs of additional 1 crore EWS/LIG/MIG families of urban India. Under the scheme,
