+====== Awaas+ 2.0 self-survey status — check PMAY-G survey 2026 ======
+**Quick answer.** To check your Awaas+ self-survey status, open the **AwaasPlus app** you registered on, or go to **pmayg.nic.in → AwaasSoft → Report** and search by your registration number. Your self-survey moves through four stages: //submitted in the app → field-verified by the Panchayat or Block staff → ratified by the Gram Sabha → added to the Awaas+ Permanent Wait List//. A submitted survey is **not** a sanction — it still has to clear verification. If your status is stuck at "pending verification" for weeks, you can file a grievance at the Block office or an RTI to the Block Development Officer asking where your file is.

+</WRAP>
+===== What "Awaas+ 2.0" actually is =====
+**Awaas+ 2.0** is not a new scheme. It is the **upgraded Awaas+ mobile app** (the version that added Aadhaar **e-KYC and face authentication** for household **self-survey**), launched by the **Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD)** in **September 2024**. The self-survey window opened on **15 January 2025**.
+Its job is narrow but important. The original **Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana — Gramin (PMAY-G)** wait list was built from the **SECC 2011** (Socio-Economic and Caste Census) data. Lakhs of genuinely kachcha-house families were either missed in 2011 or became eligible later. Awaas+ is the **exclusion survey** that lets those left-out rural families get **into** the PMAY-G list — and the 2.0 app is the first time a family member could run that survey themselves on a phone, instead of waiting for an enumerator.
+So there are two ways your record can enter the system:
+  * **Self-survey** — any family member with a smartphone installs the AwaasPlus app, does Aadhaar face-authentication and fills the household form.
+  * **Enumerator survey** — a Panchayat Rozgar Sevak / Sahayak visits, opens the same app and records the household.
+Either way, the data feeds the **same verification pipeline**. This page is about tracking **what happens after** the form is submitted — the part most people cannot see.
+For the broader housing scheme context, see [[pmay-2026-complete-guide|PMAY 2026 complete guide]], [[housing-basic-needs-schemes-india|housing and basic needs schemes in India]], and [[apply-pradhan-mantri-awas-plus-2026|how to apply for PMAY-G via Awaas+]].
+===== The four status stages — and what each means =====
+<WRAP center round info 100%>
+**Your Awaas+ self-survey status pipeline**
+① **Submitted** — form saved and synced in the AwaasPlus app; a registration / application reference is generated.
+② **Pending verification** — a Panchayat or Block official has to physically check the house (kachcha walls + roof, photo, geo-tag) and confirm you meet PMAY-G criteria.
+③ **Gram Sabha approval** — the verified list is read out and ratified in the Gram Sabha; objections are heard here.
+④ **Awaas+ Permanent Wait List** — your name is added to the PMAY-G wait list on **AwaasSoft**. Only after this do sanction and installments follow.
+</WRAP>
+Note: a status of **"submitted"** in the app means the data reached the server — it does **not** mean you are approved or that money is coming. Approval happens at stage ④, and even then a house is sanctioned by **priority and annual targets**, not instantly. As of 2026 the survey window itself has been **extended several times and runs on a state-by-state basis** (for example, Andhra Pradesh extended its window to **5 November 2025**), so always confirm the **live date for your state** on pmayg.nic.in.
+===== How to check your Awaas+ self-survey status =====
+You have three ways to track it. Use whichever you have access to.
+==== 1. Check inside the AwaasPlus app ====
+  - Open the **AwaasPlus** app on the phone you registered with.
+  - Log in as **Self-Survey** using the registered mobile number and Aadhaar OTP / face authentication.
+  - Open your saved household survey. The app shows whether the record is **synced** (uploaded) and the **registration reference**. Note this reference down — you need it everywhere else.
+==== 2. Check on the PMAY-G portal (AwaasSoft) ====
+  - Go to **pmayg.nic.in** (the PMAY-G / AwaasSoft portal).
+  - Open **AwaasSoft → Report** (the "e-FMS / Social Audit Reports" area).
+  - Use the **beneficiary / registration search** and enter your **PMAY-G registration number** and the captcha.
+  - If your name has reached stage ④, you will see your **beneficiary record** — name, sanction status and installment details. If nothing shows, your survey is still at stage ① to ③.
+==== 3. Check the state Awaas+ / beneficiary list ====
+Many states publish a **village-wise Awaas+ provisional list** through the Panchayat. Ask your **Gram Panchayat Sachiv** to show the latest verified list, or check the **state PMAY-G dashboard**. If your name is on the provisional list, you have cleared verification (stage ②–③).
+For a step-by-step on reading the published list, see [[pmayg-nic-in-beneficiary-list-2026|the PMAY-G beneficiary list guide]] and the older [[iay-pmayg-beneficiary-status|IAY/PMAY-G beneficiary status]] walkthrough.
+===== What does each survey status mean — and what should you do? =====
+When you check your status on the AwaasPlus app or on AwaasSoft, you may see one of several values. Each one tells you exactly where in the pipeline your application is and what action you should take next. The table below maps every common status to its meaning and the recommended next step:
+^ Status you may see ^ What it may mean ^ What to do next ^
+| **Submitted / Synced** | Your self-survey data was uploaded to the server. A registration reference was generated. | Write down the reference number. Wait for field verification (stage ②). |
+| **Pending Verification** | The survey has been received but no official has physically verified your house yet. | Wait 2–4 weeks. If no movement, contact the Gram Panchayat Sachiv. |
+| **Under Verification** | A Panchayat Rozgar Sevak or Block official has been assigned and is checking your house. | Cooperate with the verifier — keep photos and kachcha-house proof ready. |
+| **Verified — Pending Gram Sabha** | Field check is complete; the name is queued for the next Gram Sabha ratification. | Attend the Gram Sabha sitting to answer any objections. |
+| **Gram Sabha Approved** | Your name was ratified and forwarded for inclusion in the Awaas+ Permanent Wait List. | Wait for the name to appear on AwaasSoft. Check pmayg.nic.in periodically. |
+| **Awaas+ Permanent Wait List** | Your name is now on the PMAY-G wait list on AwaasSoft. Sanction will follow by priority. | Monitor AwaasSoft for sanction. Ensure bank / Aadhaar seeding is active. |
+| **Rejected** | The survey was rejected — reason may be duplicate, pucca house, or eligibility failure. | Ask the BDO office for the rejection reason in writing. Consider RTI if no response. |
+| **Not Found / No Record** | Either the registration number is wrong, or the survey was never synced to the server. | Check the registration number. Try searching by mobile number on the app. |
+<WRAP info>
+**Tip:** The most common "stuck" status is **Pending Verification**. This means the survey was received but never assigned to a field officer. This is exactly the scenario an RTI to the BDO unblocks — see the [[#sample rti when your survey is stuck|sample RTI]] section below.
+</WRAP>
+===== Documents and details to keep ready =====
+  * **AwaasPlus registration / application reference number** (from the app).
+  * **Aadhaar** of the head of family (used for the self-survey e-KYC).
+  * **Registered mobile number** linked to that Aadhaar.
+  * **Bank account / Jan Dhan passbook** in the head of family's name (for later DBT). Verify Aadhaar-bank linking with [[check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|this DBT Aadhaar seeding check guide]].
+  * **Ration card** and a photo of the kachcha house, in case re-verification is asked for.
+For the full document checklist for a PMAY-G application, see [[pmay-documents-required|PMAY documents required]].
+===== When will your Awaas+ survey get verified — timeline explained =====
+There is **no fixed national timeline** for Awaas+ verification — the speed depends entirely on your state, district, block, and the local Panchayat's activity level. However, based on MoRD operational guidelines and field experience, here is a realistic expectation:
+^ Stage ^ Typical time frame ^ What affects the speed ^
+| **Submitted → Assigned for verification** | 1–4 weeks | Block office backlog; availability of Rozgar Sevak / Sahayak |
+| **Assigned → Field verification visit** | 1–3 weeks | Distance to village; weather; verifier workload |
+| **Verified → Gram Sabha approval** | 2–8 weeks | Frequency of Gram Sabha sittings (usually quarterly) |
+| **Gram Sabha → Awaas+ Permanent Wait List** | 2–6 weeks | Data upload to AwaasSoft; DRDA processing |
+| **Total: Submitted to Wait List** | **2–6 months** (typical) | State efficiency; objections; data corrections |
+<WRAP center round box 90%>
+**Why delays happen.** The most common bottleneck is the **first step** — the survey is submitted but the Block office never assigns a verifier. With limited field staff and multiple schemes running simultaneously, an Awaas+ survey can sit "submitted" for months without any action. This is not unique to your village; it is a systemic capacity issue. Filing an RTI asking //who// was assigned your survey and //when// is the single most effective way to force action.
+</WRAP>
+===== Illustrative example — when "submitted" sat still for two months =====
+<WRAP center round box 90%>
+//Illustrative example. Names changed; figures reflect standard PMAY-G norms.//
+//A daily-wage family in a village in Hazaribagh district, Jharkhand, did their own Awaas+ self-survey in **February 2025** — their nephew installed the AwaasPlus app, completed the Aadhaar face-authentication and uploaded photos of their one-room mud house. The app showed **"submitted"** and a registration reference.//
+> "We thought the house was approved. Two months passed, nothing. In April we opened the app again — still only 'submitted'. We searched the registration number on pmayg.nic.in under AwaasSoft Report — **no beneficiary record**. That meant nobody had verified the house yet. We went to the Panchayat Sachiv; he said the Rozgar Sevak had a backlog. We waited two more weeks, then filed a written grievance at the Block office. When that also got no reply, we filed an **RTI to the Block Development Officer** asking three things: the date our Awaas+ survey was received, the name of the official it was assigned to for verification, and the present status. The reply came in **27 days** — the survey had been received but never assigned. After the RTI, a verifier visited within ten days, took fresh geo-tagged photos, and the name reached the **Gram Sabha provisional list** in the next sitting. By the following quarter the registration number finally showed a **sanction** on AwaasSoft. The RTI did not create eligibility — it forced the **verification** that had simply been pending."
+//Total government cost of the RTI: ₹10. What it unblocked: the standard PMAY-G assistance of **₹1.20 lakh** (plain area; **₹1.30 lakh** in hilly / North-East / IAP districts), released in installments by **DBT**, plus **MGNREGA** wage convergence and an **SBM-G toilet** grant.//
+</WRAP>
+For a parallel example of how an RTI unblocks a stalled PMAY installment, see [[rti-for-pmay-installment|RTI for a delayed PMAY installment]] and [[pmay-status-stuck-subsidy-delayed-rti-2026|PMAY status stuck or subsidy delayed — how to file an RTI]].
+===== Common reasons an Awaas+ survey gets stuck =====
+  * **Never assigned for verification.** The most common one — the self-survey is submitted but no official is sent to check the house. (This is exactly what an RTI surfaces.)
+  * **Aadhaar / name mismatch.** The name in the survey does not match Aadhaar or the bank account, so verification cannot be completed.
+  * **House looked "pucca" on the photo.** If the uploaded photo is unclear, a verifier may mark the house ineligible. Keep proof of the kachcha structure.
+  * **Gram Sabha objection.** A name can be removed at the Gram Sabha stage; attend the sitting so you can answer objections.
+  * **Survey done in the wrong window.** If the state window had closed, a fresh self-survey may not have been accepted — check the live date for your state on pmayg.nic.in.
+  * **Duplicate / already in SECC list.** If the family is already on the old list, the new survey is rejected as a duplicate.
+If your survey was rejected rather than stuck, see [[pmay-urban-2-name-not-in-list-rejection-complaint-rti|PMAY name not in list / rejection — complaint and RTI guide]] for appeal options.
+===== What to do if your survey shows "Rejected" — appeal options =====
+A "Rejected" status is **not the end of the road**. Rejections can be challenged through a structured escalation path. Here is the sequence:
+  - **Step 1 — Ask for the reason in writing.** Visit the Block office (BDO) and request the recorded rejection reason. You are entitled to this under the PMAY-G operational guidelines.
+  - **Step 2 — File a grievance.** Submit a written grievance to the BDO with evidence (photos of kachcha house, Aadhaar, ration card). Keep a stamped copy.
+  - **Step 3 — Escalate to the District level.** If the Block does not respond in 30 days, escalate to the **Additional District Collector / DRDA Project Director** at the district headquarters.
+  - **Step 4 — File an RTI.** If still no resolution, file an RTI to the BDO / DRDA asking for the rejection reason, the file notings, and the official who decided. See the [[#sample rti when your survey is stuck|sample RTI]] below — adapt it for a rejection.
+  - **Step 5 — Gram Sabha representation.** A fresh survey can sometimes be accepted if the Gram Sabha recommends re-inclusion in the next cycle.
+<WRAP info>
+**Common rejection reasons and whether they can be challenged:**
+^ Rejection reason ^ Can you challenge it? ^ How ^
+| House marked "pucca" (but it is kachcha) | **Yes** — provide fresh photos, geo-tagged evidence | File grievance with photos; request re-verification |
+| Duplicate (already in SECC 2011 list) | **Partially** — check if SECC record is correct | Search your name in [[pmayg-nic-in-beneficiary-list-2026|the PMAY-G beneficiary list]]; if the SECC entry belongs to a different family, file correction |
+| Aadhaar / name mismatch | **Yes** — update Aadhaar or bank records first | Correct the mismatch, then request re-verification |
+| Survey done after window closed | **Unlikely** — wait for next window | Monitor pmayg.nic.in for extended dates |
+| Gram Sabha objection | **Yes** — attend next Gram Sabha with evidence | Request the Sarpanch to place item on agenda |
+</WRAP>
+===== Which states have the most Awaas+ coverage — and how to check yours? =====
+PMAY-G / Awaas+ operates across all states and UTs, but survey progress varies significantly. States with stronger rural development infrastructure and active Panchayati Raj institutions tend to process surveys faster. Below is an approximate coverage overview based on MoRD / AwaasSoft data as of early 2026:
+^ State ^ Awaas+ survey activity ^ How to check your state list ^
+| **Uttar Pradesh** | Highest volume — lakhs of self-surveys submitted | See [[pmay-status-uttar-pradesh|PMAY status Uttar Pradesh]] |
+| **Bihar** | High activity; large rural housing gap | See [[pmay-status-bihar|PMAY status Bihar]] |
+| **Maharashtra** | Active survey; strong Panchayat network | See [[pmay-status-maharashtra|PMAY status Maharashtra]] |
+| **Tamil Nadu** | Moderate; state-specific housing schemes also running | See [[pmay-status-tamil-nadu|PMAY status Tamil Nadu]] |
+| **Rajasthan** | High; Bhamashah / Jan Aadhaar integration | See [[pmay-status-rajasthan|PMAY status Rajasthan]] |
+| **Madhya Pradesh** | High; active DBT infrastructure | See [[pmay-status-madhya-pradesh|PMAY status Madhya Pradesh]] |
+| **Karnataka** | Moderate; Bhoomi / FRUITS integration | See [[pmay-status-karnataka|PMAY status Karnataka]] |
+| **Gujarat** | Moderate; state housing schemes supplement | See [[pmay-status-gujarat|PMAY status Gujarat]] |
+<WRAP center round tip>
+**Remember:** The survey window is **not the same in every state**. Some states extend their window beyond the national deadline. Always check the **current status for your state** on [[https://pmayg.nic.in|pmayg.nic.in]] or ask your Gram Panchayat Sachiv. For Hindi-language users, the guide [[pmay-status-hindi|PMAY status (Hindi)]] walks through the same process.

+===== AwaasPlus 2.0 app vs PMAY Urban — which scheme are you in? =====
+A common source of confusion is that "PMAY" covers **two completely separate schemes**: PMAY-Gramin (rural, which uses Awaas+) and PMAY-Urban (cities/towns, which uses a different application portal). Your self-survey through the AwaasPlus app is **only** for PMAY-Gramin. If you live in an urban area, you need a different process entirely.
+^ Feature ^ PMAY-Gramin (Awaas+ 2.0) ^ PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U 2.0) ^
+| **Who is it for?** | Rural households with kachcha houses | Urban poor (EWS / LIG categories) |
+| **How to apply?** | AwaasPlus app self-survey or enumerator | Online portal at pmay-urban portal |
+| **Assistance amount** | ₹1.20 lakh (plain) / ₹1.30 lakh (hilly/NE/IAP) | Varies by component (Rs 2.67 lakh average CLSS) |
+| **Verification** | Field visit + Gram Sabha | Municipal body scrutiny |
+| **Status check** | pmayg.nic.in / AwaasSoft | Separate urban portal |
+| **RTI jurisdiction** | BDO / DRDA / MoRD | Municipal corporation / MoHUA |
+If you are in an urban area and your PMAY name is not appearing, see [[pmay-urban-2-name-not-in-list-rejection-complaint-rti|PMAY Urban 2.0 name not in list — complaint and RTI guide]] and [[pmay-urban-2-status-2026|PMAY Urban 2.0 status 2026]].

+  * If it has been stuck for weeks, draft the **RTI to the BDO** above and post it today.
+  * Confirm the **live survey window for your state** on pmayg.nic.in before assuming the survey has closed.
+===== Who runs the Awaas+ survey and PMAY-G — and where does the money come from? =====
+The Awaas+ survey and PMAY-G involve multiple government departments at three levels — central, state, and district. Understanding the jurisdiction helps you know **where to go** and **where to file an RTI** if something goes wrong.
+^ Level ^ Department / Body ^ Role in PMAY-G / Awaas+ ^ .gov.in source ^

+===== How does Awaas+ compare to other rural housing support? =====
+Awaas+ / PMAY-G is the flagship rural housing scheme, but several other programs provide housing-related support to rural and marginalised families. Knowing the differences helps you identify if you qualify for additional or alternative assistance:
+^ Feature ^ PMAY-G (Awaas+) ^ PM-Kisan ^ BOCW Board ^ SVAMITVA ^
+| **Purpose** | Housing construction assistance | Income support for farmers | Welfare for construction workers | Property card / legal title |
+| **Assistance** | ₹1.20–1.30 lakh (housing) | ₹6,000/year (income) | Varies by state (insurance, pension, loan) | Property documentation |
+| **Who qualifies?** | Rural kachcha-house families | Land-owning farmer families | Registered construction workers | Rural residents in abadi areas |
+| **How to apply?** | AwaasPlus app self-survey | PM-Kisan portal / CSC | State BOCW Board registration | Drone survey + local body |
+| **Status check** | pmayg.nic.in / AwaasSoft | pmkisan.gov.in | State BOCW portal | SVAMITVA portal |

+===== Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) =====
+**Q. Is a "submitted" status in the AwaasPlus app the same as approval?**\\
+No. "Submitted" only means your self-survey data reached the server. Approval happens after **field verification** and **Gram Sabha** ratification, when your name is added to the Awaas+ Permanent Wait List on AwaasSoft. Always check the registration number on pmayg.nic.in to see whether a beneficiary record actually exists.
+**Q. How do I check my Awaas+ survey status online?**\\
+Go to **pmayg.nic.in**, open **AwaasSoft → Report**, and search using your **PMAY-G registration number** and captcha. You can also log in to the **AwaasPlus app** as Self-Survey with your registered mobile and Aadhaar authentication to see whether the record is synced.
+**Q. I did the self-survey but my name is nowhere. What now?**\\
+That usually means the survey was submitted but never sent for **verification**. Ask the Panchayat Sachiv first. If there is no movement, file a written grievance at the Block office, and if that fails, file an **RTI to the Block Development Officer** asking the date received, the official assigned and the present status.
+**Q. What is the last date for the Awaas+ self-survey?**\\
+There is no single national date — the window has been **extended several times and runs state-by-state**. For example, some states extended into **late 2025**. Always confirm the **current date for your own state** on pmayg.nic.in or with your Gram Panchayat, because a survey done after the state window closes may not be accepted.
+**Q. How much assistance do I get if I am selected through Awaas+?**\\
+Under PMAY-G the unit assistance is **₹1.20 lakh** in plain areas and **₹1.30 lakh** in hilly states, North-East and IAP / LWE districts, released in installments by **DBT** to the Aadhaar-linked account, with **MGNREGA** wage convergence for the labour and a separate **SBM-G** toilet grant.
+**Q. Can I edit my Awaas+ self-survey after submitting it?**\\
+Minor corrections (family members, photographs) can sometimes be made through the app or via the Panchayat before verification. After the record is verified or placed before the Gram Sabha, changes need the Block office. Keep your Aadhaar, name and bank details consistent to avoid a mismatch holding up verification.
+**Q. Does an RTI guarantee I will get a house?**\\
+No. An RTI cannot create eligibility or jump the queue. What it does is force a **paper trail** — the date your survey was received, who was responsible and why it is stuck. In practice that is enough to get a stalled **verification** moving, because the office must now answer on record.
+**Q. Who runs the Awaas+ survey and PMAY-G?**\\
+The scheme is run by the **Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD)**, Government of India, through the **AwaasSoft** MIS and the **AwaasPlus** app, and implemented on the ground by the **District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Block (BDO) and Gram Panchayat**. The Gram Sabha ratifies the list.
+**Q. My Awaas+ survey shows "Rejected" — what can I do?**\\
+Ask the BDO office for the rejection reason in writing first. Common fixable reasons include the house being wrongly marked "pucca" (provide fresh geo-tagged photos) or an Aadhaar/name mismatch (correct the records and request re-verification). If the Block office does not respond, file a grievance and then an RTI. See the [[#what to do if your survey shows rejected appeal options|appeal options section]] above.
+**Q. Is Awaas+ for rural areas or also for cities?**\\
+Awaas+ 2.0 is **only for rural areas** (PMAY-Gramin). If you live in a city or town, you need PMAY-Urban 2.0, which has a separate application process and portal. See [[apply-pmay-urban-gramin-2026|how to apply for PMAY Urban vs Gramin]] and [[pmay-urban-2-status-2026|PMAY Urban 2.0 status 2026]].
+**Q. Can I do the Awaas+ self-survey from someone else's phone?**\\
+Yes, you can install the AwaasPlus app on any Android phone and log in as Self-Survey using the registered mobile number and Aadhaar authentication. The survey is linked to the **head of family's Aadhaar**, not the phone. However, always use a trusted phone and log out after completing the survey.
+**Q. How long does the entire Awaas+ process take — from survey to house sanction?**\\
+There is no fixed timeline, but typically: verification takes 2–6 weeks, Gram Sabha approval 2–8 weeks, and inclusion in the Permanent Wait List another 2–6 weeks. After that, sanction depends on **annual targets and priority**. Realistically, expect **2–6 months** from survey submission to wait-list inclusion. See the [[#when will your awaas survey get verified timeline explained|timeline section]] for details.
+**Q. Can I check Awaas+ status without the registration number?**\\
+It is difficult but not impossible. On the AwaasPlus app, you can log in with the registered mobile number + Aadhaar OTP to retrieve your saved survey. On AwaasSoft, the search requires a registration number. If you have lost the number, ask the Gram Panchayat Sachiv — they can look it up in the village-level survey records.
