Eligibility Criteria to avail Subsidy for PMAY
Various leading banks in the country have been authorized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation to provide loans for construction under PMAY. The banks will have to offer the loans at a comparatively lower rate as the government pays the rest on behalf of the applicant. The eligibility to apply for the Subsidy under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna is as follows:
- In the case of married couple, either single or joint ownership deal is allowed for subsidy. Also, under both the options there would be just one subsidy.
- The applicant who is applying for the benefit under PMAY should not have availed the benefit of any housing-related schemes set up by the Government of India.
Not just populist but the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojna is also a progressive thought towards helping millions of urban poor in the country so that every one of them owns a house.
