How to get a loan under PMAY?

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) or PMAY (U) scheme was launched in the year 2017 with the aim of providing pucca houses for all households in urban areas. Indian government introduced Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) under PMAY for Middle Income Groups (MIG) I and MIG II.  

CLSS focuses on covering the entire urban area population. Be it under Development Area/Special Area Development Authority/Industrial Development Authority/Notified Planning/Urban Development Authority or any Authority under the State legislation. 4331 cities and townships have been included under PMAY(U). Complete list of the cities and townships can be found in the official website – Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs here –

Who can avail benefits of PMAY? 

Government divides middle income groups in two slabs, MIG I & MIG II. 

MIG households with an annual income between Rs.6,00,001 up to Rs.12 lakh. 

MIG households with an annual income between Rs.12,00,001 up to Rs.18 lakh. 

Therefore, any household that earns between Rs.6 lakh p.a to Rs.12 lakh p.a is eligible to receive the benefits of subsidized housing loan under PMAY. 

Subsidy available in PMAY-CLSS 

Subsidy is provided upon the interest rate of the housing loan taken under the PMAY scheme by eligible individuals. Middle Income Groups are divided into two slabs and subsidy is based on the income group a household falls under.
