Key features and housing assistance
- Unit assistance: Financial grant provided in stages directly via DBT for construction of a minimum 25 square metre pucca house.
- Basic amenities convergence: PMAYG houses converge with Swachh Bharat Mission for toilet construction, PM Ujjwala Yojana for LPG, and Saubhagya for electricity.
- MGNREGS labour wages: Beneficiaries are entitled to 90 to 95 person-days of unskilled labour wages under MGNREGA for self-construction.
- Geo-tagged monitoring: Fund installments are released after geo-tagged photo verification of foundation, lintel, and roof construction stages.
Beneficiary selection criteria
Beneficiaries are identified using housing deprivation parameters from the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) and validated by Gram Sabhas. The Awaas+ survey expanded coverage to eligible rural households missed during initial enumerations. Families owning motorized vehicles, pucca houses, or formal government jobs are excluded.
Checking status on AwaasSoft portal
Beneficiaries and local panchayats can monitor sanction orders, fund disbursement details, and construction milestones online via the AwaasSoft portal (pmayg.nic.in) using their PMAY registration ID.
