The primary goal of PMAY-G is to provide financial assistance for constructing a ‘Pucca’ (permanent) house equipped with basic amenities to all rural families who are homeless or living in dilapidated (kuccha) houses. The mission is to achieve “Housing for All” by a set deadline.
Eligibility is based on the socio-economic status determined by the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data and validated by the Gram Sabha.
Priority is given to:
Households without a house (homeless).
Households living in a zero-room, one-room, or two-room Kuccha house (with kuccha roof and kuccha walls).
Households with no adult member between 16 and 59 years of age.
Households with no male adult member between 16 and 59 years of age.
Households with a disabled member or no literate adult above 25 years.
Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Minorities, and other Below Poverty Line (BPL) families.
Financial Assistance: A unit assistance of ₹1,20,000/- is provided in plain areas (Note: This is the standard amount for non-hilly areas like Chandrapur).
Fund Transfer: The assistance is transferred directly to the beneficiary’s bank account in 3 to 4 installments, based on the construction stage.
MGNREGS Support: The beneficiary is entitled to an additional 90-95 person-days of unskilled labour under MGNREGS (worth approximately ₹28,000/- to ₹30,000/-).
Toilet Provision: The beneficiary is also entitled to ₹12,000/- for the construction of a household toilet under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Grameen (SBM-G).
The PMAY-G scheme is demand-driven, but beneficiaries cannot apply directly online.
Inclusion in the Permanent Wait List (PWL): Your name must already be included in the Permanent Wait List (PWL) of PMAY-G, which is drawn from the SECC 2011 data and finalized by the Gram Sabha.
Verification: If your name is on the list, the Gram Panchayat/Block Office conducts a physical inspection (geo-tagging) to verify eligibility.
Sanction: Once verified and approved by the Block/District Authority, the sanction is released, and the first installment is credited to your account.
Submission: Contact the Gram Sevak to check if your name is on the PWL or if a new survey/list validation is currently underway.
