What is PMAY-U 2.0?

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) aims to provide central assistance to eligible families/beneficiaries to construct, purchase or rent affordable houses in urban areas.

The scheme targets families in the Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Low-Income Group (LIG), and Middle-Income Group (MIG) who do not own a pucca house (all-weather dwelling) anywhere in India.
PMAY-U supports urban families in achieving homeownership through four verticals:

• Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC): Supports individuals building their own homes.
• Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP): Collaborates with public/private sectors for housing projects.
• Affordable Rental Housing (ARH): Provides rental housing options.
• Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS): Offers subsidies on home loan interest.

According to the PMAY website, “In pursuance of Government’s vision of facilitating Housing for All, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) – ‘Housing for All’ Mission since 25.06.2015. The original mission period was up to 31.03.2022 which has been extended till 31.12.2025 for completion of houses sanctioned up to 31.03.2022, without changing funding pattern and implementation methodology of the scheme.”
