If your AwaasSoft record is wrong or missing
Photo missing or wrong — file a complaint with your Block Development Officer (BDO); the AwaasApp upload was either skipped or re-assigned.
Instalment shows pending but money received — DBT receipt shows in your bank but AwaasSoft hasn't refreshed; ask BDO to verify and refresh.

Frequently asked questions
What does "AwaasSoft" mean?
Awaas = housing in Hindi/Urdu; Soft = software (a NIC convention — they have eGramSwaraj-Soft, MGNREGA-Soft, PFMS-Soft etc.). AwaasSoft = the central housing-MIS software for PMAY-G/IAY.
Is AwaasSoft the same as PMAY portal?
For rural PMAY (PMAY-G), yes — AwaasSoft IS the portal. For urban PMAY (PMAY-U / PMAY-U 2.0), no — that runs on pmay-urban.gov.in which has its own separate database.
Why does AwaasSoft show old IAY records?
When IAY was merged into PMAY-G in April 2016, all pending and active IAY records migrated to AwaasSoft to preserve continuity. So if you applied under IAY pre-2016 and your application is still active, it's in AwaasSoft under the IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary search.
Can I update my AwaasSoft details myself?
No. Citizen-side, AwaasSoft is read-only. Updates flow through your BDO / Block Programme Officer / Gram Sevak. You can request changes by visiting the Block office, filing an Awaas+ self-survey objection, or filing an RTI.
What if AwaasSoft says my house is complete but I haven't received the final instalment?
The completion flag and final instalment are sometimes desynced if the geo-tag photo was uploaded but the DBT release got stuck at PFMS. File an RTI for instalment delay addressed to BDO + DRDA Project Director — the standard reply timeline is 30 days under §7(1) RTI Act 2005.
Is there a mobile app for AwaasSoft?
The official AwaasApp is for Block officers, not citizens. Citizens should use the awaassoft.nic.in / pmayg.nic.in website on a phone browser — it works on mobile.
