Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Eligibility

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) (URBAN)-Housing for All was a mission launched by the Indian government with the goal of increasing homeownership.

PMAY Eligibility Criteria

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation has established a road map as well as the eligibility criteria that prospective applicants must meet. It has also enlisted the assistance of some of the country's leading banks to provide construction loans under PMAY. 

Banks provide loans at a lower interest rate because the government pays the rest on the applicant's behalf. This model of subsidized loans assists more economically disadvantaged people in constructing a home. This is how it appears:

What is a Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS)?

The Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) is a benefit provided under the PMAY Scheme that allows the Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Low Income Group (LIG), and Medium Income Group (MIG) to obtain home loans with lower EMIs thanks to an interest subsidy. Under the Pmay subsidy eligibility, the beneficiary will receive an upfront interest subsidy on the principal amount, resulting in a lower effective home loan and EMI.
