Good news for those who dream of owning a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). The deadline for PMAY registration has now been extended till December 2025 for both Urban and Gramin beneficiaries. This flagship housing scheme by the Indian government offers financial assistance to economically weaker sections for building their own homes.
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana scheme benefits Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and families below the poverty line by providing subsidised housing in both rural and urban areas. According to official data from the PMAY website, more than 92.61 lakh houses have been completed under this scheme, transforming the lives of many who previously did not have a pucca home.
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban: Eligibility
Households with an annual income of up to Rs 3 lakh, and those earning between Rs 3 lakh and Rs 6 lakh, are eligible for the scheme if they do not own a pucca house anywhere in India. Families with annual incomes between ₹6 lakh and ₹9 lakh without a pucca house are also covered. Adding further, those currently living in slums or informal urban settlements qualify for benefits under the scheme, making it inclusive for various economically weaker and low-income groups.
