PM Awas Yojana
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a flagship housing scheme launched by the Government of India with the vision of providing “Housing for All” by 2022. Although the original deadline has passed, the scheme continues in an extended format, giving eligible families another golden chance to secure a permanent (pucca) home. The latest announcement allows fresh applications under the scheme until July 31, 2025. This is a great opportunity for economically weaker sections (EWS), low-income groups (LIG), and even some middle-income families (MIG) to benefit from financial assistance for home construction or purchase.
What is PM Awas Yojana?
PM Awas Yojana is a central government initiative launched in 2015. It offers financial support to those who do not own a house and belong to economically weaker or marginalized communities. Under PMAY, eligible applicants can receive a subsidy of up to ₹2.67 lakh on the interest of home loans through the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). The aim is to help these families build, purchase, or renovate their homes at a lower financial burden.
New Application Window Open Till July 31
The government has reopened the registration window for new beneficiaries under PMAY. This fresh chance is available till 31st July 2025, allowing more families to submit their applications and fulfill their dream of owning a pucca house.
