Under AHP and ISSR verticals, the tentative time frame is 24 to 36 months as mentioned in the respective Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) approved by State/UT Governments. According to the strategy adopted by PMAY(U) to achieve the goal of “Housing for All” by March, 2022 the Ministry has sought project proposals from the States/UTs by March/April, 2020 for approval, in order to complete construction/occupancy in the given time frame.
