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 in next five years. 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). The Scheme Guidelines may be accessed at https://pmay- urban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational-Guidelines-of-PMAY-U- 2.pdf. PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0 are demand driven schemes. As per the guidelines, States/Union Territories (UTs) are responsible for identifying beneficiaries, planning and executing projects and allotting completed houses. Citizens can apply through the Unified Web Portal of PMAY-U 2.0, where States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) verify applications at multiple levels based on eligibility criteria. After demand assessment and beneficiary validation, States/UTs prepare project proposals, which are approved by the ...3/--3- State Level Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC) and then submitted to the Ministry for sanction of Central Assistance by the Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC). The Unified Web Portal for submitting the online applications can be accessed through https://pmay-urban.gov.in. The contours of PMAY-U 2.0 including eligibility criteria have been designed on the basis of learnings of PMAY-U scheme, global best practices/ benchmarks and outcomes of series of consultations with multiple stakeholders including States/UTs, Banks, Housing Finance Companies, Private Sector etc. There is no proposal for making any amendments in the eligibility criteria by the Ministry. Based on the project proposal submitted by States/UTs, a total of 127.68 lakh houses including 16.20 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0 have been sanctioned by the Ministry, so far.
