ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE
MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
(SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)
(a): ‘Land’ and ‘Colonization’ are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related
to housing are implemented by States/Union Territories (UTs). However,
the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) supplements the efforts
of States/UTs by providing Central assistance under Pradhan Mantri Awas
Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with
basic civic amenities to eligible urban households across the country.
Based on the learning from the experiences of 9 years implementation of
PMAY-U, MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0
‘Housing for All’ Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 for construction of 1
crore additional eligible beneficiaries at affordable cost.
…2/--2-
PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 are demand driven schemes and Government of
India has not fixed any State/UT-wise target for construction of houses.
Under the schemes, States/UTs conduct demand survey in their respective
jurisdiction and validate the beneficiaries to ascertain eligibility. In order to
ensure that the scheme effectively addresses the housing needs of urban
poor, a Unified Web-portal has been developed by the Ministry under PMAY-
U 2.0. Eligible citizens are also allowed to apply through Unified Web Portal
and register their demand. States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) validate
the beneficiaries as per the eligibility criteria of the scheme guidelines and
selection/ scrutiny of beneficiary list is done at multiple levels in the
States/UTs. After fulfilling the procedures laid down in the Scheme
Guidelines, the houses are approved by State Level Sanctioning and
Monitoring Committee (SLSMC) and forwarded to Central Sanctioning and
Monitoring Committee (CSMC) for consideration of release of Central
Assistance.
Based on the project proposals submitted by the State Government of
Chhattisgarh, a total of 3.06 lakh houses have been sanctioned by the
Ministry under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 as on 22.01.2026, out of which
24,799 houses have been sanctioned during last 12 month under PMAY-U
2.0. Out of total sanctioned houses, 2.62 lakh have been completed so far,
of which 10,646 houses have been completed during the last 12 months.
(b): Physical and financial progress under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 in Durg
and Bemetara districts along with Durg Parliamentary constituency of the
State of Chhattisgarh are at Annexure. The progress of the scheme can
also be accessed on the PMAY-U dashboard (https://dashboard.pmay-
urban.gov.in).
(c): The time period for completion of projects generally takes 12-36
months in different verticals of the scheme and as per Detailed Project
Reports (DPRs) of respective projects. The completion timeline for houses
depends on various factors like availability of encumbrance free land,
statutory compliances for start of construction, arrangements of funds by
beneficiaries etc. The houses under PMAY-U 2.0 have been sanctioned
during last one year.
