📌 What is PM Awaas Yojana (PMAY)?
Launched in 2015, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana aims to provide housing to all by 2025. The scheme targets economically weaker sections (EWS), low-income groups (LIG), and middle-income groups (MIG). PMAY includes two main components:
- PMAY-G – For rural areas
- PMAY-U – For urban areas
Under this mission, beneficiaries are provided assistance for house construction, renovation, and purchase of new homes with interest subsidies under CLSS (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme).
✅ PMAY Eligibility Criteria 2025
Applicants must meet the following criteria to be eligible for PMAY benefits:
- No family member should own a pucca house in India.
- Annual household income should be within the EWS, LIG, or MIG limits.
- Applicants should not have availed any prior housing scheme from the government.
- For EWS and LIG groups, woman ownership/co-ownership of the property is mandatory.
🧾 Income Classification
Income Group | Annual Income Range |
---|---|
EWS | Up to ₹3 lakh |
LIG | ₹3 to ₹6 lakh |
MIG-I | ₹6 to ₹12 lakh |
MIG-II | ₹12 to ₹18 lakh |
💸 PMAY Subsidy Details
Applicants can avail interest subsidy on home loans under the CLSS scheme:
Category | Interest Subsidy | Loan Limit for Subsidy | Max Subsidy Amount |

MIG-I | 4.0% | ₹9 lakh | ₹2.35 lakh |
