ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

(SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a) to (c): Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban (PMAY-U) since June 2015 to provide all-weather pucca house with basic amenities to all eligible urban households of the country. PMAY-U is a demand driven scheme and based on the demand for housing in the urban areas, States/Union Territories (UTs) prepare project proposals and submit to the Ministry in a phased manner for sanctioning of admissible Central Assistance. Based on the project proposals submitted, Details of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed under PMAY-U in Balangir, Odisha and Jalpaiguri, West Bengal during last three years and since inception are at Annexure-I. Details of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed under PMAY-U in Odisha and West Bengal during the last three years and since inception are at Annexure-II.

(d): The Ministry has taken following measures in order to achieve the vision of ‘Housing for All’:

• i. PMAY-U Awards have been instituted with emphasis on grounding, completion, occupancy of houses sanctioned under the scheme.
• ii. Alternative and innovative construction technologies have been promoted under the Scheme for rapid delivery of houses.
• iii. Payment through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) Mode and Aadhaar seeding of beneficiaries is ensured for transparency and accountability.
• iv. Use of Information/ Space Technology through PMAY(U)-MIS (Management Information System), Bhuvan Portal, PFMS (Public Financial Management System) and Geo-tagging/ Geo-fencing of sanctioned houses are being done for effective monitoring and expeditious release of Central Assistance.

The Ministry regularly reviews the status of implementation of PMAY-U with States/UTs through Monthly Progress Reports (MPRs), Monthly Review Meetings and in the meetings of Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC).

PMAY-U, which was earlier upto 31.03.2022, has since been extended upto 31.12.2024, except CLSS vertical, to complete all the sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology. Accordingly, States/UTs have been advised to expedite to complete all sanctioned houses within the extended Mission period as per Detailed Project Reports.
