PM Awas Yojana Gramin: Who Gets a Rural House and How Much

What the pm awas yojana gramin pays

A PIB backgrounder valued the labour support at about 27,000 rupees at current wage rates. Houses are also linked with drinking water, electricity, and cooking gas under the Ujjwala scheme.

Who is eligible for pradhan mantri awas yojana gramin

Selection runs in two steps under the revised rules.

Step 1. Households in a house with a pucca roof, a pucca wall, or more than two rooms are filtered out.

Step 2. From the rest, a household is automatically excluded if any one of these is true:

• It owns a motorised three or four wheeler.
• It owns mechanised three or four wheel farm equipment.
• It holds a Kisan Credit Card with a limit of 50,000 rupees or more.
• Any member is a government employee.
• It runs a non farm business registered with the government.
• Any member earns more than 15,000 rupees a month.
• It is an income tax or professional tax payer.
• It owns 2.5 acres or more of irrigated land, or 5 acres or more of unirrigated land.

The revision removed old exclusions for a two wheeler, a fishing boat, a landline phone and a refrigerator, and lifted the monthly income limit from 10,000 rupees to 15,000 rupees. At national level, at least 60 percent of houses are set aside for SC and ST families, and states try to give 5 percent to persons with disabilities.

The Awaas Plus survey

Families left out of the older census based wait list were surveyed under Awaas Plus, and the list is being updated with a fresh round using the revised exclusion rules. The latest Awaas Plus app supports an assisted survey by a trained surveyor and a self survey option, verifies the family through Aadhaar face authentication, and captures geo tagged photos of the present house. The app also shows 3D house designs prepared with the Central Building Research Institute.

The PMAY-G home page also has an "Am I Eligible" tool and a link to the survey. Use only the official app linked from pmayg.dord.gov.in.

From wait list to sanction

The block prepares a priority list for each gram panchayat. The gram sabha verifies it, and the list is displayed in the panchayat for at least seven days. Then there is a 15 day window to complain about a wrong deletion or a change in ranking, heard by a district appellate committee usually headed by the collector. The final Permanent Wait List is put on the panchayat notice board and the official website. Each year the block picks names from the top of this list as its target allows. To see where your family stands, use our gramin beneficiary list guide.

Instalments and building rules

• The first instalment is sent to the bank or post office account within 7 working days of the sanction order.
• States fix at least 3 instalments in total. The second is tied to the foundation or plinth stage and the third to the windowsill, lintel or roof stage.
• A geo tagged, time stamped photo of the house is uploaded at each stage before the next payment.
• The family builds the house itself or under its own supervision. Contractors engaged by the state are not allowed.
• Old, sick or disabled beneficiaries can get help through the rural mason training programme.
• The house should be finished within 12 months of sanction.

Gharkul yojana and other local names

In Maharashtra the rural housing programme is widely called the gharkul yojana or pm gharkul yojana, and the same central rules apply to its PMAY-G houses. Other common spellings include pradhanmantri aawas yojana gramin, pm aawas yojana gramin, pm gramin awas yojana, pm awas gramin yojana and pradhanmantri gramin awas yojana. People also search for gramin awas yojana or awas yojana gramin. All these mean this rural scheme, also called pm awas yojana rural or pradhan mantri awas yojana rural. State run housing schemes are separate; see the PM Awas Yojana overview.

Complaints about the rural house

Speak first to the gram panchayat secretary or the village level worker tagged to your house, then the block development officer. Formal complaints can be lodged on pgportal.gov.in; the ministry forwards them to the state. Social audits are held in every gram panchayat at least once a year, where anyone can raise a problem in public. Never pay a middleman to get a name added or an instalment released.
