The Union Cabinet approved continuing PMAY-G during FY2024-25 to FY2028-29 for construction of 2 crore additional rural houses; of the 1.22 crore national target allocated, 97.48 lakh houses have been sanctioned so far.
Since FY2024-25, ₹49,407.96 crore central share has been released, with ₹88,426.76 crore utilised (including State matching share).
Reported delay factors include beneficiary unwillingness, migration, succession disputes, land-allotment delays, elections, and delayed fund releases from State treasuries.
Provide pucca houses with basic amenities to rural houseless/inadequately-housed households
Key: Launched 20.11.2016; original target 2.95 crore houses; continuation (FY24-25 to FY28-29) adds 2 crore more houses; beneficiaries identified via SECC 2011 + Awaas+ survey
Nodal ministry for PMAY-G; reviews State/UT implementation progress
SECC 2011 (Socio-Economic Caste Census) was the original, one-time database used to identify PMAY-G's first-phase beneficiaries. Because that data ages and misses newly-eligible households, the Awaas+ survey was conducted later as a supplementary, updated list — the two are combined to determine current PMAY-G beneficiaries rather than relying on the decade-old SECC alone
Simple Analogy: SECC 2011 is like an old voter list; Awaas+ is the supplementary roll used to add people who became eligible after that list was frozen
