AwaasSoft Beneficiary List 2026 — new portal, working links

Quick answer. The old AwaasSoft website (awaassoft.nic.in) and the old PMAY-G website (pmayg.nic.in) are dead — they do not open from anywhere, including India. AwaasSoft did not shut down; it moved. It now lives as a menu inside the new PMAY-G portal at pmayg.dord.gov.in. To see your AwaasSoft beneficiary details in 2026, use the direct search page awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx and enter your Registration Number or Beneficiary ID. No registration number? Browse the full village list through report.pmayg.dord.gov.in → Social Audit Reports → Beneficiary details for verification. Both are free and need no login.

AwaasSoft is the Ministry of Rural Development's online record system (MIS) for PMAY-G, the rural housing scheme. It holds every beneficiary's registration, sanction, instalment payments and house photographs. Built by NIC, it also carries legacy IAY records. Since the portal migration, it runs inside pmayg.dord.gov.in.

The Government of India moved the PMAY-Gramin portal from the old nic.in addresses to a new dord.gov.in domain (DoRD = Department of Rural Development). As of July 2026:

Your data did not disappear. The same AwaasSoft database — registrations, sanctions, instalments, geo-tagged photos — is served from the new domain. Only the address changed.

• Scheme: Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana — Gramin (PMAY-G), which replaced Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) with effect from 1 April 2016.
• Extension: the Union Cabinet approved continuing PMAY-G from FY 2024-25 to FY 2028-29 with a target of 2 crore more houses (PIB release, 9 August 2024). So the scheme is very much open in 2026.
• Assistance: ₹1.20 lakh per house in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in North-Eastern and hilly states, paid in instalments straight to the beneficiary's bank account.
• New names being added: the Awaas+ 2024 survey (app launched 17 September 2024) is how new eligible families get added to the permanent wait list.
• Legal hook: portal data is government-held information, so anything you cannot see online can be demanded under the RTI Act 2005, §6(1), with a 30-day reply clock under §7(1).

1. Open awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx (yes, the government spells it “Benificiary” in the URL — type it exactly).
2. Enter your Registration Number or Beneficiary ID in the search box. The portal accepts IDs between 9 and 60 characters, so both old IAY-style and new PMAY-G numbers work.
3. Click Submit.
4. Your full record opens: name, sanction details, instalment payments and house-stage photographs.

Your registration number is on your sanction letter, or with the Gram Panchayat / Block office. If you never noted it down, use Method 2.

1. Open the PMAY-G reports page: report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx.
2. Scroll to the Social Audit Reports section.
3. Click Beneficiary details for verification.
4. Select your State → District → Block → Gram Panchayat, pick the scheme (PMAY-G) and year, and submit.
5. The full panchayat-wise beneficiary list appears — find your name, note your registration number, then use Method 1 for the detailed record.

1. Open pmayg.dord.gov.in.
2. Use the menu to reach Awaassoft → Report (for lists) or the beneficiary search (for a single record).
3. Both routes land on the same two pages linked above — the direct URLs just save you the clicking.

Many citizens want the entire village list — not just their own record — to check whether family members or neighbours are included. Here is the reliable way:

1. Go to report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx.
2. Under Social Audit Reports, choose Beneficiary details for verification.
3. Select State → District → Block → Gram Panchayat from the dropdowns.
4. Pick the Financial Year and Scheme (PMAY-G or IAY).
5. Click Submit — the full panchayat-wise list loads on screen.
6. Use your browser's Print → Save as PDF option (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P) to save the list offline.
7. The list shows: beneficiary name, father/husband name, registration number, sanction date, category, and instalment status for each person.

There is no bulk download button on the citizen side — the government does not offer a one-click CSV export for the general public. The Print → PDF method is the fastest workaround. If you need data for research or multiple panchayats, file an RTI with the BDO or District Program Coordinator requesting the data in electronic format under §6(1), RTI Act 2005.

For more on navigating these reports, see our pmayg.nic.in Beneficiary List guide and the PMAY Beneficiary List — village and panchayat-wise article.

The AwaasSoft / PMAY-G portal has two sides:

For citizens: there is no registration, no account, no OTP. You simply open the search or report pages and enter your details. This is the most common confusion — people search for “AwaasSoft login” expecting to create an account, but one does not exist for citizens.

For officials: the login portal is at awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in and credentials are issued by the State / District PMAY-G cell through NIC. If you are an official and have forgotten your password, contact your District Informatics Officer or the state PMAY-G nodal officer — there is no public self-service password reset.

Awaas+ 2024 survey app: this separate mobile app (launched 17 September 2024) is used by trained surveyors — typically Gram Rozgar Sevaks or Vitt Sahayaks — to conduct door-to-door surveys of new eligible families. Citizens cannot self-register through the app; they must be surveyed.

If a local agent or middleman claims they can “create your login” or “register you” for a fee, that is a scam. Report it to the BDO. See also our PMAY Documents Required guide for what paperwork is genuinely needed.

Many people use the two names interchangeably, but there is a clear distinction:

In short: PMAY-G is the scheme; the PMAYG portal is the website; AwaasSoft is the application behind the scenes that manages all the data. When you search for your beneficiary record, you are querying AwaasSoft through the portal's interface.

PMAY-G progress varies significantly by state. Below is the top 10 states by cumulative houses sanctioned under PMAY-G, based on publicly available DoRD dashboard data as of early 2026. Use this to understand relative scale and check your state's position.

FTO stands for Fund Transfer Order. Every PMAY-G instalment payment is released through an FTO — a batch of DBT transfers from the government treasury directly to beneficiaries' bank accounts. Checking your FTO status tells you whether the money has actually been dispatched.

Steps to check FTO status:

1. Open the AwaasSoft beneficiary search page.
2. Enter your Registration Number / Beneficiary ID and submit.
3. In your record, look for the Instalment Status section — each instalment (1st, 2nd, 3rd / completion) shows:
   • Sanctioned date — when the instalment was approved.
   • FTO generated — whether the Fund Transfer Order has been created. If yes, the FTO number and date appear.
   • Payment status — “Released” means the money has left the treasury and should hit your account within 3–7 working days.
4. If FTO shows “Pending” or is blank, the instalment is approved but not yet sent for payment — this typically means the state treasury has not processed the batch.

Common FTO delay reasons:

1. Aadhaar-bank seeding mismatch (most common).
2. Bank account closed or IFSC changed.
3. State treasury processing queue (especially at financial year-end March–April).
4. Geo-tagging or inspection not completed for the relevant construction stage.

If your FTO is stuck for more than 30 days after sanction:

1. First, verify your bank account and Aadhaar linking are correct (visit your bank branch or use UIDAI / PFMS to check seeding status).
2. Then file an RTI for PMAY instalment delay with the BDO, asking specifically: “On what date was the FTO for my [1st/2nd/3rd] instalment generated, and what is the current status of the payment?” The PIO must reply within 30 days under §7(1), RTI Act 2005.

Geo-tagging is the process of attaching GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) to photographs of a beneficiary's house at various construction stages. It is mandatory under PMAY-G — instalments are linked to geo-tagged progress photos. No geo-tagged photo = no next instalment.

How geo-tagging works in practice:

1. At each construction milestone (foundation, lintel level, roof casting, completion), a designated field officer — usually the Gram Rozgar Sevak or a technical assistant — visits the site.
2. They use the official AwaasSoft mobile inspection app (available only to government functionaries) to take a photo.
3. The app automatically stamps the photo with GPS coordinates and uploads it to the AwaasSoft server.
4. The system verifies the GPS location matches the registered plot — if they differ significantly, the geo-tag is flagged for review.

The four mandatory geo-tagging stages:

Why this matters to you as a beneficiary:

1. If your instalment is stuck, a missing geo-tag photo is one of the top three reasons.
2. You can see whether photos have been uploaded by checking your beneficiary record — if the photos section is blank or shows the wrong house, contact the Gram Panchayat secretary immediately.
3. Geo-tagging fraud (photographing someone else's house or an empty plot) is a known issue; the Social Audit process and RTI are your tools to challenge it.

For legal remedies when geo-tagging data is wrong or missing, see RTI for instalment delay and RTI for PMAY application stuck.

The Awaas+ 2024 survey is the government's latest exercise to identify families eligible for PMAY-G housing assistance who are not yet on the beneficiary list. It updates and expands the original Awaas+ survey (2017–18) which was based on SECC (Socio-Economic Caste Census) data.

Key facts about Awaas+ 2024:

• App launched: 17 September 2024 by the Ministry of Rural Development.
• Who conducts it: Trained surveyors — Gram Rozgar Sevaks, Vitt Sahayaks, or Self-Help Group members — who visit eligible households door-to-door.
• What it collects: Family details, current housing condition (kutcha / semi-pucca / homeless), caste category, income indicators, bank account, Aadhaar, and GPS location of the dwelling.
• Eligibility: Families who are homeless, live in a kutcha house (mud walls/thatch roof), or have a house with no more than two rooms and no pucca structure — and who are not already PMAY-G beneficiaries.
• Exclusions: Government employees, income tax payers, families owning a pucca house of 3+ rooms, families with a motorized vehicle (other than two-wheelers used for livelihood).

How to check if you were included in the Awaas+ 2024 survey:

1. Ask your Gram Panchayat secretary — they maintain the local survey record.
2. Check the Awaas+ list displayed at the Gram Panchayat office (mandatory public display under transparency norms).
3. Cross-check on the PMAY-G portal once your state uploads the updated wait list.

If you were missed in the survey:

1. Submit a written complaint to the Gram Panchayat secretary / BDO requesting inclusion.
2. If ignored, file an RTI with the BDO under §6(1) asking: “Was my family surveyed under Awaas+ 2024? If not surveyed, why? If surveyed and rejected, on what grounds?”
3. See RTI for PMAY status and PMAY status RTI for sample letters and escalation steps.

AwaasSoft data can contain errors: wrong name spelling, incorrect bank account, mismatched address, a house photo that is not yours, or a name that appears in the list when you never applied. The citizen side of the portal is read-only — you cannot fix anything yourself. Here is the correction path:

Step 1 — Approach the Gram Panchayat secretary in writing.

1. Take your Aadhaar, bank passbook, sanction letter (if any), and proof of the error (a printout of the wrong portal page).
2. Submit a written correction request; keep a dated copy.

Step 2 — If no action in 30 days, file an RTI with the BDO.

1. Under §6(1) of the RTI Act 2005, ask:
   • “What is the current status of my correction request dated [date] regarding [specific error] in my PMAY-G beneficiary record?”
   • “On what date will the correction be reflected on the AwaasSoft portal?”
   • “Which officer is responsible for approving this correction?”
2. Application fee: ₹10 for central / most state authorities — see state-wise RTI fees.
3. Reply due in 30 days under §7(1).

Step 3 — If the reply is evasive or absent, file a First Appeal under §19(1).

1. First Appeal goes to the officer senior to the PIO (usually the BDO's reporting officer or the Sub-Divisional Magistrate).
2. Use the free First Appeal Builder on RTI Wiki.
3. First Appeal decision due in 30 days (or 45 days with reasons).

Step 4 — If still unresolved, approach the State Information Commission.

1. File a Second Appeal / Complaint under §18 or §19(3) of the RTI Act 2005.
2. This is free in most states; the SIC can order the department to correct the record and impose penalties on the PIO.

A typical AwaasSoft beneficiary record contains:

• Identification — beneficiary name, relation (father/husband), and photograph where uploaded.
• Address — State, District, Block, Gram Panchayat, Village.
• Scheme and category — PMAY-G or legacy IAY, plus priority category flags from the SECC/Awaas+ list.
• Sanction details — sanction number and date.
• Instalment status — 1st / 2nd / 3rd instalment and completion payment, with dates, released through DBT.
• House-stage photographs — geo-tagged photos of the house at different construction stages, uploaded by field officials through the official inspection app.

• Registration Number / Beneficiary ID (9-60 characters) — for the direct search. OR
• State, District, Block and Gram Panchayat names — for browsing the village list. That is all; no login, no OTP, no fee.
• For complaints afterwards: your Aadhaar, bank passbook and the sanction letter help the Block office trace the record.

• Typing awaassoft.nic.in or pmayg.nic.in — both are dead. Any site that “opens” under a similar name is not the government portal. Use only pmayg.dord.gov.in addresses.
• Paying an agent to “check the list” — the search and the reports are free. Anyone charging you for a lookup is charging for nothing.
• Giving up because the record is missing online — a missing record is exactly what §6(1) of the RTI Act 2005 is for; ask the Block office in writing what happened to your application.
• Assuming a stale instalment status is final — portal entries can lag actual bank credits. Match against your passbook before escalating.
• Trusting an old cached page — search engines still show the dead nic.in links. Go to the portal directly, not via an old result.
• Ignoring the FTO number — always note the FTO number and date from your record. When you complain to the bank or BDO about a missing payment, the FTO number is the reference they need to trace it.
• Not checking geo-tagged photos — if the photo in your record is not your house, that is a serious data error that can hold up your instalments. Report it immediately.

• Name not in the list — first check whether you were covered in the Awaas+ 2024 survey; if not surveyed or rejected without reason, file an RTI for PMAY status with the Block Development Officer.
• Instalment stuck — file an RTI for instalment delay asking for the date of release, the account paid, and the file noting for the delay. The PIO must reply in 30 days under §7(1), RTI Act 2005.
• Draft it in minutes — the free AI RTI Drafter writes the application; the Timeline Tracker tells you exactly when the 30 days expire.
• Weak or evasive reply — run it through the PIO Reply Checker, then use the First Appeal Builder under §19(1).
• Application fee is ₹10 for central and most state authorities — see state-wise RTI fees. Full statute text: RTI Act, 2005.

AwaasSoft now runs inside the new PMAY-G portal at pmayg.dord.gov.in. The direct beneficiary search is at awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx and reports are at report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx. The old awaassoft.nic.in no longer exists.

The domain is dead — it does not resolve at all, even from India. But the AwaasSoft system itself was migrated, not closed. Your beneficiary data is intact on the new dord.gov.in portal.

Not on the direct search page — that needs a Registration Number or Beneficiary ID. But you can find your name (and your registration number) by browsing your Gram Panchayat's list through Reports → Social Audit Reports → Beneficiary details for verification.

For rural PMAY (PMAY-G), yes — AwaasSoft is the record system behind the portal. For urban housing, no: PMAY-U 2.0 (launched 2024) runs separately on pmay-urban.gov.in, with applications and status on pmaymis.gov.in. The old urban CLSS interest-subsidy scheme is closed.

Indira Awas Yojana was restructured into PMAY-G with effect from 1 April 2016, and its records were migrated into AwaasSoft so old cases would not be lost. If you applied under IAY, search with your old ID — the search field accepts old-format numbers too. See IAY/PMAY-G beneficiary status for the legacy-record walkthrough.

No. The citizen side is read-only. Corrections go through your Gram Panchayat secretary or Block Development Officer. If they stall, an RTI application asking for the status of your correction request usually moves the file. See our full correction guide above.

Through the Awaas+ 2024 survey, whose app launched on 17 September 2024. Eligible families identified in that survey join the permanent wait list, from which yearly targets are sanctioned. If you were missed, contact your Gram Panchayat about inclusion and put the request in writing.

₹1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in North-Eastern and hilly states, paid in instalments tied to construction stages, directly into your bank account. Beneficiaries may also get convergence benefits such as MGNREGS wages for their own labour and Swachh Bharat toilet assistance, as per scheme guidelines.

The completion photo and the final payment are separate steps, and they can fall out of sync. First match your passbook against the portal's instalment dates. If money is genuinely missing, file an RTI for instalment delay with the BDO asking for the release date and transaction reference — 30 days under §7(1), then First Appeal under §19(1) if ignored.

The official field apps (like the inspection/geo-tagging app) are for government functionaries, not citizens. Citizens should simply open the search and report pages in a phone browser — they work on mobile. The Awaas+ 2024 survey app is used for survey-based registration with assisted modes; for a plain status check, the website is the reliable route.

FTO means Fund Transfer Order. It is the government's internal batch-payment instruction that moves money from the treasury to your bank account via DBT. When your record shows “FTO generated” with a date and number, it means the payment has been queued for release. If it is blank or shows “Pending”, the money is approved but not yet dispatched. See our detailed FTO section above.

Typically 3–7 working days after the FTO is processed by the state treasury. If it has been more than 15 days, verify your Aadhaar-bank seeding first (a mismatch is the #1 cause of failed DBT), then approach the BDO. Beyond 30 days, an RTI is your next step.

Yes — the Social Audit Reports and beneficiary search are publicly accessible by design. PMAY-G transparency norms require beneficiary lists to be visible to all citizens for social audit purposes. You are not violating privacy by looking up a name; the government intends this data to be open.

The citizen portal is read-only. You must submit a written correction request to the Gram Panchayat secretary with proof of your correct bank account (passbook copy) and Aadhaar. If not corrected in 30 days, file an RTI with the BDO asking for the status of your correction request. See the full RTI correction guide above.

This can happen due to SECC data errors, duplicate entries, or fraud. Immediately inform the Gram Panchayat secretary in writing. If a house was sanctioned in your name fraudulently, file an RTI asking for the application form and supporting documents submitted in your name — this will reveal if your identity was misused. See name not in list / rejection complaint for related guidance.

The AwaasSoft portal does not have a direct Aadhaar-number search field. However, if you visit a Common Service Centre (CSC) or the BDO office, officials can look up your record using your Aadhaar through the internal system. Alternatively, find your registration number via the village list method, then use the direct search. See PMAY Status Check with Aadhaar for a detailed walkthrough.

The portal is primarily in English, but many state portals mirror the data in regional languages. For Hindi, see our PMAY Status Hindi guide. State-specific guides: UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, and others listed above.

PMAY-G (Gramin) is for rural areas, managed by the Ministry of Rural Development through AwaasSoft / pmayg.dord.gov.in. PMAY-U (Urban) is for cities/towns, managed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs through pmay-urban.gov.in and pmaymis.gov.in. The schemes have separate beneficiary lists, separate application processes, and separate financial assistance structures. See How to Apply for PMAY Urban & Gramin 2026 and PMAY Urban 2.0 Status 2026.

Official PMAY-G guidelines, operational manuals, and government circulars are published on the Department of Rural Development website at rural.gov.in and the PMAY-G portal at pmayg.dord.gov.in under the Downloads / Guidelines section. For PIB press releases about the scheme, visit pib.gov.in.
