Therefore, all schemes related to housing for their citizens are implemented by States/Union Territories (UTs) in their respective areas. However, 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 June 25, 2015 to provide pucca houses to all eligible urban beneficiaries across the country. Based on the learnings from the experiences of 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 implementation in urban areas across the country to support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries. PMAY-U 2.0 is implemented through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS). PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0 adopt a demand driven approach wherein States/Union Territories (UTs) assess the requirement through their Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Implementing Agencies in their respective jurisdictions. Eligible citizens are also allowed to apply through Unified Web Portal of PMAY-U 2.0 with all details on the portal. States/UTs/ULBs validate the beneficiaries as per the eligibility criteria of the scheme guidelines and selection/scrutiny of beneficiary lists are done by the States/UTs. The Scheme Guidelines and Unified Web Portal for submitting the online applications can be accessed through https://pmay-urban.gov.in. Based on the demand survey and selection of beneficiaries, the project proposals are prepared and approved by the State Level Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC) headed by the Chief Secretary of States/UTs for further consideration of release of Central Assistance by the Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC). …3/--3- Central assistance under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 is released to States/UTs in three installments of 40%, 40% and 20%. The release of Central assistance is incumbent upon fulfillment of mandatory compliances by the concerned States/UTs as per operational guidelines and other instructions issued by Ministry of Finance. Due installment of Central assistance is released as soon as requisite compliances are achieved in sanctioned projects, to concerned State Government for transferring it along with matching state share to the identified beneficiaries for construction of houses under the scheme. Based on the project proposal submitted by State of Maharashtra, a total of 13.84 lakh houses including 1.98 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0 have been sanctioned by the Ministry, so far. Out of which 12.16 lakh houses have been grounded and 10.74 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries. The total houses sanctioned under PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0 and the amount of Central assistance released to the State during each of the last three years is at Annexure-I. The district wise details of the houses sanctioned, grounded and completed/delivered to the beneficiaries under PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0 in Maharashtra is at Annexure-II. The Ministry conducts regular review with the States/UTs on progress of the scheme including timely submission of compliances by States/UTs for subsequent release of Central Assistance and its utilization and expedite completion of sanctioned houses within the stipulated timeline. PMAY-U 2.0 supports States/UTs for formulation and implementation of ‘Affordable Housing Policies’ to incentivize private sector participation through appropriate regulatory, fiscal and institutional measures to make the housing stock affordable in urban areas. The Scheme Guidelines can be accessed at https://pmay urban.gov.in. Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) advises all States/UTs including Maharashtra to conduct various outreach programmes/ campaigns for creating awareness. States/UTs are encouraged to organize awas mela, regional sanction-letter distribution camps and mass Grih Pravesh ceremonies, etc. to publicly celebrate the completion of homes while encouraging local community participation. However, a database of such outreach activities is not maintained centrally. *****Annexure I referred in reply to Lok Sabha Unstarred Q.No.862 due for 23-07-2026 Details of Physical and Financial progress in Maharashtra under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 Sr. PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 Particulars No. 13,84,240 1 Houses Sanctioned (Nos) 12,16,585 2 Houses Grounded (Nos) 10,74,552 3 Houses Completed/Delivered (Nos) Central Assistance Sanctioned (₹ in 25,358.64 4 Crore) 20,446.20 Since Inception Central 2023-24 1,542.86 Assistance 5 Released (₹ in 2024-25 313.56 Crore) 305.71 2025-26 .Annexure II referred in reply to Lok Sabha Unstarred Q.No.862 due for 23-07-2026 District wise Physical progress of houses in the State of Maharashtra under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 (Nos) Overall in PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 Sr.No. District Houses Grounded Completed Sanctioned 1 Ahilyanagar 26,817 22,585 21,558 2 Akola 16,154 13,072 11,412 3 Amravati 39,198 23,557 20,025 4 Beed 20,571 15,136 10,946 5 Bhandara 7,010 5,771 4,793 6 Buldhana 10,349 7,730 6,775 7 Chandrapur 14,462 9,328 7,445 8 Chhatrapati 46,267 43,803 28,966 Sambhajinagar 9 Dharashiv 9,965 7,652 6,013 10 Dhule 7,395 6,452 6,153 11 Gadchiroli 7,350 4,975 3,615 12 Gondia 9,515 6,374 4,635 13 Hingoli 14,798 10,514 7,989 14 Jalgaon 32,116 29,827 27,850 15 Jalna 16,550 12,707 9,450 16 Kolhapur 15,396 14,228 13,605 17 Latur 18,329 14,895 12,001 18 Mumbai Suburban 1,41,652 1,41,652 1,41,652 19 Nagpur 77,508 59,701 47,235 20 Nanded 30,192 24,391 19,440 21 Nandurbar 4,872 3,859 3,187 22 Nashik 72,156 70,814 69,712 23 Palghar 53,016 52,806 46,306 24 Parbhani 25,568 19,730 12,053 25 Pune 2,41,970 2,18,622 2,11,547 26 Raigad 67,099 64,576 52,942 27 Ratnagiri 4,322 4,215 4,133 28 Sangli 12,469 11,131 10,073 29 Satara 19,620 14,940 12,904 30 Sindhudurg 1,959 1,812 1,338 31 Solapur 57,787 55,443 33,130 32 Thane 2,26,868 1,96,734 1,83,305 33 Wardha 10,145 8,797 7,455 34 Washim 5,826 4,077 3,449 35 Yavatmal 18,969 14,679 11,460 Total 13,84,240 12,16,585 10,74,552
