 +
 +===== How to check PMAY-G (Gramin / rural) status =====
 +
 +  - Open the beneficiary search page: **[[https://awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx|awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx]]** — this is the AwaasSoft search on the new official domain. (If you reach it via the portal, the path is [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]] → **Stakeholders** → **IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary**.)
 +  - Enter your **Registration Number / Beneficiary ID** exactly as printed on your sanction letter or acknowledgement slip.
 +  - Type the **captcha** shown and click **Submit**.
 +  - The status screen tracks your house through the standard PMAY-G milestones:
 +    * **Eligibility (SECC 2011 / Awaas+ list)** → **Verification** → **Sanction** → **1st instalment** → **Foundation geo-tag** → **2nd instalment** → **Lintel** → **3rd instalment** → **Roof / Completion** → **Final geo-tag** → **Final instalment**.
 +  - Each completed step shows a **date stamp**. Take a **screenshot** for your records — it is your evidence if you later file an RTI.
 +
 +For a deeper walkthrough of the beneficiary list (including anti-fraud verification tips), see the dedicated guide at [[:pmay-beneficiary-list|PMAY beneficiary list]] or [[:check-status:pmay-g-beneficiary-list|PMAY-G beneficiary list (check-status hub)]].
 +
 +==== If you don't know your Registration Number ====
 +
 +  * Browse the village-wise list by **name** at [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] → **Social Audit Reports** → **Beneficiary details for verification** → State → District → Block → Panchayat. No registration number needed.
 +  * Ask your **Panchayat Secretary / Block Development Officer (BDO)** — they hold the master beneficiary list for your panchayat.
 +  * File an **RTI to the BDO** asking for the full beneficiary list of your panchayat — see the section below and the full guide at [[:pmay-beneficiary-list|PMAY beneficiary list]].
 +
 +===== How to check PMAY-U / PMAY-U 2.0 (Urban) status =====
 +
 +  - Open **[[https://pmaymis.gov.in|pmaymis.gov.in]]** — this is where PMAY-U 2.0 applications are filed and tracked. The information portal is [[https://pmay-urban.gov.in|pmay-urban.gov.in]].
 +  - Use the **application status / track application** option and enter the details you registered with — typically your **application reference number** or **name + identity details**.
 +  - PMAY-U 2.0 (approved by the Union Cabinet in 2024) has four verticals — your application sits in one of them:
 +    * **Beneficiary-Led Construction (BLC)** — you own land; central share ₹2.25 lakh per unit.
 +    * **Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP)** — government/private agencies build; you buy at a subsidised rate.
 +    * **Affordable Rental Housing (ARH)** — rental housing for EWS/LIG, including migrants.
 +    * **Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS)** — interest subsidy on home loans sanctioned on or after 1 September 2024 (the old CLSS is **closed**).
 +  - If you applied under the old PMAY-U (2015-2022 CLSS era), your record is still in the same MIS — search with your old application/assessment ID.
 +
 +For the dedicated Urban 2.0 status page, see [[:pmay-urban-2-status-2026|PMAY Urban 2.0 status 2026]] and [[:apply-pmay-urban-gramin-2026|How to apply for PMAY Urban + Gramin 2026]].
 +
 +==== Income-band check (PMAY-U 2.0) ====
 +
 +Verified from the PMAY-U 2.0 operational guidelines (MoHUA):
 +  * **EWS** — annual household income up to **₹3 lakh**.
 +  * **LIG** — **₹3–6 lakh**.
 +  * **MIG** — **₹6–9 lakh** (a single MIG band; the old MIG-I/MIG-II split up to ₹18 lakh belonged to the closed CLSS and no longer applies).
 +
 +===== Frequently used PMAY search terms (and what they mean) =====
 +
 +If you typed any of these into Google, this is the page you want:
 +
 +  * **pmay beneficiary status / pmay beneficiary status check 2026** — same as the PMAY-G beneficiary check above.
 +  * **pmayg / pmay-g / pmyg / pmaug / pmayag / pamyg / mpayg / p m a y g** — all spellings of **PMAY-G** (Gramin/rural). Use [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]].
 +  * **pmayg nic in / pmayg.nic.in / pmayg.nic.in list** — the OLD official address. It is **dead** — it no longer opens. The same database now runs at [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]].
 +  * **iay/pmayg beneficiary status / iay pmayg beneficiary gramin** — IAY (Indira Awas Yojana) was merged into PMAY-G in 2016. The portal still uses the **IAY/PMAYG** label; same beneficiary list. Full guide: [[:iay-pmayg-beneficiary-status|IAY/PMAYG beneficiary status]].
 +  * **pmay beneficiary list check 2026 / pmay beneficiary status 2026** — village/panchayat-wise list at [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] → Social Audit Reports → Beneficiary details for verification.
 +  * **pmay status check with aadhar** — the new PMAY-G search works by **Registration Number**, not Aadhaar. See the Aadhaar section below for what actually works.
 +  * **pmaya beneficiary list / pmaug status / pmyag list** — common misspellings; all refer to the same PMAY beneficiary list above.
 +
 +If your query doesn't match any of the above, drop it in the [[:contact|contact form]] and we'll add it to this page.
 +
 +===== AwaasSoft beneficiary search — what it is, how to use =====
 +
 +**AwaasSoft** is the **National Informatics Centre (NIC)**-built MIS that runs all backend operations for **PMAY-G** (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana — Gramin). When people search **awaassoft**, **awaassoft nic in beneficiary**, or **awaassoft beneficiary details 2026**, they are looking for the AwaasSoft beneficiary search.
 +
 +**Important 2026 update:** the old address **awaassoft.nic.in is dead**. AwaasSoft now runs at **awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in** under the Department of Rural Development domain.
 +
 +**Direct path to the AwaasSoft beneficiary search:**
 +
 +  - Open [[https://awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx|awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx]] (yes, the government page spells it "Benificiary" — that is the real URL).
 +  - Enter your **PMAY-G Registration Number / Beneficiary ID** from your sanction letter.
 +  - Type the captcha and click **Submit**.
 +  - The result shows: name, sanction details, instalment status (1st / 2nd / 3rd / completion) and geo-tag progress, with date stamps.
 +
 +**Common AwaasSoft search variants** (all now point to the same new portal):
 +  * **awaassoft** — short for AwaasSoft
 +  * **awaassoft.nic.in** — the old URL, now dead
 +  * **awaassoft nic in beneficiary** — the beneficiary search page, now at awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in
 +  * **awaassoft beneficiary details 2026** — same search, current year — see [[:awaassoft-beneficiary-list-2026|AwaasSoft beneficiary details guide]]
 +  * **www pmayg nic in list / pmayg.nic.in list** — same database, now at [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] — see [[:pmayg-nic-in-beneficiary-list-2026|pmayg.nic.in beneficiary list guide]]
 +
 +===== PMAY-G Beneficiary List 2026 — village/panchayat-wise view =====
 +
 +To get the **full PMAY-G beneficiary list** for your village or panchayat (often searched as pmayg beneficiary list 2026, pmayg nic in list 2026, pmayg nic in gramin list):
 +
 +  - Open [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx]] — the Reports section of the new PMAY-G portal.
 +  - Under **Social Audit Reports**, pick **Beneficiary details for verification**.
 +  - Select State → District → Block → Panchayat → scheme year.
 +  - The full village-wise list appears with names, registration numbers, sanction status, and instalment progress.
 +  - Use the export buttons on the report table to download a copy for your records.
 +
 +This same procedure works for **IAY/PMAY-G beneficiary report** queries — IAY (Indira Awas Yojana, the predecessor scheme) was merged into PMAY-G in April 2016, but the portal still uses the **IAY/PMAYG** label for legacy continuity. Full walkthrough with anti-fraud tips: [[:pmay-beneficiary-list|PMAY beneficiary list guide]].
 +
 +===== PMAY Status Check with Aadhaar =====
 +
 +For people searching **pmay status check with aadhar** — here is the honest 2026 position:
 +
 +  * **PMAY-G (rural)** — the public beneficiary search at [[https://awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx|awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] works by **Registration Number**, not Aadhaar. If you only have your Aadhaar, use the **name-based village report** at [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] instead, or ask your Panchayat Secretary to pull your record (Aadhaar is linked internally in AwaasSoft for DBT, but is not a public search key).
 +  * **PMAY-U 2.0 (urban)** — track your application on [[https://pmaymis.gov.in|pmaymis.gov.in]] with the details you registered. Aadhaar is used for authentication inside your application, not as a public lookup key.
 +  * **Mobile number lookup** — no official portal offers a mobile-number-only status search. Use your Registration Number, application reference, or the name-based village report.
 +
 +Detailed guide: [[:pmay-status-check-with-aadhar|PMAY status check with Aadhaar]].
 +
 +===== IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary Gramin — legacy IAY queries explained =====
 +
 +People searching **iay**, **iay/pmayg beneficiary**, **iay.nic**, **iay/pmayg beneficiary gramin**, or **iay/pmayg beneficiary status** are looking for the **same database** as PMAY-G. Here's why:
 +
 +  * **Indira Awas Yojana (IAY)** ran from 1985 to March 2016 — it funded rural housing for BPL families.
 +  * **PMAY-G** launched from 1 April 2016 and **subsumed IAY**. Pending IAY applications were migrated to PMAY-G; the AwaasSoft MIS kept the **IAY/PMAYG** label so legacy applicants could still find their records.
 +  * The old URL **iay.nic.in is dead** — like pmayg.nic.in, it no longer opens. Use [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]].
 +  * If your application was originally under IAY (pre-2016), search with your old IAY registration number — legacy numbers remain searchable in AwaasSoft.
 +
 +**One-line summary**: IAY = the old name. PMAY-G = the new name. AwaasSoft (now at awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in) = the portal that runs both. Full guide: [[:iay-pmayg-beneficiary-status|IAY/PMAYG beneficiary status]].
 +
 +===== Apply for a PMAY home loan with interest subsidy (ISS 2026) =====
 +
 +If you're an **urban PMAY-U 2.0 applicant**, the **Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS)** — the successor of the closed CLSS — gives you a **4% interest subsidy on the first ₹8 lakh** of your home loan. Verified terms from the PMAY-U 2.0 operational guidelines:
 +
 +  * Annual household income up to **₹9 lakh**.
 +  * Home loan up to **₹25 lakh**, for a house valued up to **₹35 lakh** (carpet area up to 120 sqm).
 +  * Maximum benefit **₹1.80 lakh** (net present value ₹1.50 lakh), released in **5 yearly instalments** by DBT into your loan account.
 +  * Applies to loans sanctioned **on or after 1 September 2024**. The old **CLSS is closed** — CLSS-MIG closed in March 2022 and is not part of PMAY-U 2.0.
 +
 +You claim ISS **through your bank or housing finance lender**, who files it in the MIS — there is no separate citizen form. Major lenders processing PMAY ISS loans:
 +
 +  * **HDFC / HDFC Bank Home Loans** — [[https://www.hdfc.com/housing-loans|hdfc.com/housing-loans]]
 +  * **SBI Home Loans** — [[https://homeloans.sbi/|homeloans.sbi]]
 +  * **LIC Housing Finance** — [[https://www.lichousing.com|lichousing.com]]
 +  * **Bajaj Housing Finance** — [[https://www.bajajhousingfinance.in/|bajajhousingfinance.in]]
 +  * **Tata Capital Housing Finance** — [[https://www.tatacapital.com/home-loan|tatacapital.com/home-loan]]
 +  * **PNB Housing Finance** — [[https://www.pnbhousing.com/|pnbhousing.com]]
 +
 +If your CLSS subsidy was not credited, see [[apply-home-loan-pmay-clss-2026|PMAY CLSS application guide]] and [[pmay-clss-subsidy-not-credited-bank-complaint-india|CLSS subsidy not credited complaint guide]].
 +
 +**Important**: PMAY-G (rural) does **not** use bank loans — rural beneficiaries receive the **direct subsidy** to their bank account in instalments. The home-loan route only applies to **urban (PMAY-U 2.0)** applicants.
 +
 +===== PMAY 2.0 Beneficiary Status Check (Urban) =====
 +
 +For **pmay 2.0 beneficiary status check** queries — this refers to **PMAY-Urban 2.0**, approved by the Union Cabinet in 2024, with 4 verticals: BLC (Beneficiary-Led Construction), AHP (Affordable Housing in Partnership), ARH (Affordable Rental Housing), and ISS (Interest Subsidy Scheme).
 +
 +  - Portal: [[https://pmaymis.gov.in|pmaymis.gov.in]] for applications and status; [[https://pmay-urban.gov.in|pmay-urban.gov.in]] for scheme information and guidelines.
 +  - Use the application-status option with your application reference number and registered details.
 +  - For ISS specifically, your bank lender (HDFC / SBI / LIC HFL etc.) also has the subsidy disbursement status — check via your loan account or branch.
 +
 +**Important difference vs the old PMAY-U**: PMAY-U 2.0 runs for **5 years (2024-29)** and targets assistance to **1 crore urban families** (the earlier 2015-era PMAY-U sanctioned over 1.2 crore houses per the official portal dashboard). Income bands under 2.0:
 +  * **EWS** ≤ ₹3 lakh annual household income
 +  * **LIG** ₹3-6 lakh
 +  * **MIG** ₹6-9 lakh
 +
 +If your name is missing from the PMAY-U 2.0 beneficiary list or your application was wrongly rejected, see [[pmay-urban-2-name-not-in-list-rejection-complaint-rti|PMAY Urban 2.0 name not in list / rejection complaint (RTI)]].
 +
 +===== How to check PMAY status by mobile number? =====
 +
 +This is one of the most common searches related to PMAY. Here is the definitive 2026 answer:
 +
 +  * **No official portal offers a mobile-number-only status search** — neither PMAY-G (pmayg.dord.gov.in) nor PMAY-U (pmaymis.gov.in) lets you type a phone number and pull up your beneficiary status.
 +  * **What actually works**: use your **Registration Number** (Gramin) or **application reference number** (Urban) at the portals above. If you do not have either, use the **name-based village report** at [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]].
 +  * **SMS notifications**: PMAY-G sends instalment and geo-tag SMS alerts to the mobile number registered in AwaasSoft. If you changed your number, update it with your **Gram Panchayat Secretary** and your **bank** (for DBT SMS alerts). The status itself is unaffected.
 +  * **Warning**: treat any third-party app or website that promises "PMAY status by mobile number" as **unofficial and potentially fraudulent**. Never share your Aadhaar, OTP, or bank details with such services.
 +
 +For the full documentation on what search keys work and don't work, see [[:pmay-status-check-with-aadhar|PMAY status check with Aadhaar]] — the same logic applies to mobile numbers.

 +Your **Registration Number / Beneficiary ID** is the single most important piece of information for tracking your PMAY-G application. Here's how to use it:
 +
 +  - **Where to find it**: printed on your **sanction letter**, your **acknowledgement slip** from the Gram Panchayat, or any previous SMS from PMAY-G. It typically looks like a state code + district code + serial number (e.g., ``UP-XXX-XXXXX``).
 +  - **How to search**: open [[https://awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx|awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx]] → enter the Registration Number + captcha → Submit.
 +  - **What the result shows**: full name, father/husband name, sanction order number, instalment-wise disbursement dates and amounts, and geo-tag progress for each construction stage.
 +  - **If "Not Found"**: check for typos (especially the state/district prefix). If the number is correct but not found, the application may not have been sanctioned yet, or it was filed under an older IAY number — try the legacy search with your old IAY ID. See [[:iay-pmayg-beneficiary-status|IAY/PMAYG beneficiary status guide]].
 +
 +For **PMAY-U 2.0 (Urban)**, the same principle applies — your **application reference number** from pmaymis.gov.in is your tracking key. See [[:pmay-urban-2-status-2026|PMAY Urban 2.0 status guide]].
 +
 +===== PMAY-G vs PMAY-U 2.0: What's the difference? =====
 +
 +Many applicants are confused about which scheme applies to them. Here's a clear comparison:
 +
 +| Feature | **PMAY-G (Gramin)** | **PMAY-U 2.0 (Urban)** |
 +|---|---|---|
 +| **Target** | Rural households without pucca house | Urban EWS/LIG/MIG families |
 +| **Eligibility basis** | SECC 2011 + Awaas+ survey lists | Income bands (≤₹9 L/yr household) |
 +| **Assistance** | ₹1.20 L (plain) / ₹1.30 L (hills/NE) | ₹2.25 L central share (BLC/AHP) |
 +| **Fund delivery** | DBT to beneficiary bank account in instalments | Via ULB / bank (BLC/AHP) or subsidy on loan (ISS) |
 +| **Portal** | [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]] | [[https://pmaymis.gov.in|pmaymis.gov.in]] |
 +| **Geo-tagging** | Mandatory at 4 stages | Not applicable (BLC/AHP handled by ULB) |
 +| **MGNREGA convergence** | 90–95 person-days of wage labour | Not applicable |
 +| **Loan route** | No bank loan required | ISS interest subsidy on bank home loans |
 +| **Verticals** | Single (BLC equivalent — direct construction) | BLC, AHP, ARH, ISS |
 +
 +**Key takeaway**: if you live in a **rural area**, you are under PMAY-G. If you live in a **city/town (statutory urban area)**, you are under PMAY-U 2.0. The two schemes do **not overlap** — you cannot apply for both simultaneously.

 +
 +===== How to check PMAY instalment status (1st, 2nd, 3rd, final)? =====
 +
 +PMAY-G assistance of ₹1.20 lakh (plain areas) is released in **four instalments** tied to construction milestones. Here's how to check each:
 +
 +  - Open [[https://awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx|awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] → enter Registration Number → Submit.
 +  - The result screen shows each instalment with its **release date** and **amount credited**.
 +
 +**Instalment structure (PMAY-G, plain areas):**
 +
 +| Stage | Instalment | Typical Amount | Released After |
 +|---|---|---|---|
 +| Sanction | 1st instalment | ~₹35,000–40,000 | Sanction order + Aadhaar-bank DBT linkage confirmed |
 +| Foundation | 2nd instalment | ~₹35,000 | Foundation geo-tag photo uploaded |
 +| Lintel level | 3rd instalment | ~₹30,000 | Lintel geo-tag photo uploaded |
 +| Roof completion | Final instalment | ~₹15,000–20,000 | Roof/completion geo-tag photo uploaded |
 +
 +**Common instalment blockers:**
 +  * **2nd instalment stuck** → geo-tag photo of the foundation not uploaded by the field functionary (most common). Escalate to BDO.
 +  * **3rd instalment stuck** → lintel-level geo-tag missing, or Aadhaar-bank linkage broken.
 +  * **Final instalment stuck** → completion inspection pending; sometimes the beneficiary contribution (toilets/electricals) hasn't been paid.
 +
 +If instalments are stuck beyond 30 days of the milestone, **file an RTI** to the BDO asking for: (a) instalment-wise release dates, (b) geo-tag verification status, (c) reason for delay, (d) officer-in-charge. See the RTI section below and [[rti-for-pmay-installment|RTI for PMAY instalment]].
 +
 +For the full practical walkthrough on instalment delays and geo-tag issues, see [[practical-guides:pmay-rural-instalment-stuck-geotag-inspection|PMAY rural instalment stuck — geo-tag inspection guide]] and [[pmay-status-stuck-subsidy-delayed-rti-2026|PMAY status stuck / subsidy delayed RTI 2026]].
 +
 +===== How to verify PMAY geo-tagging status? =====
 +
 +Geo-tagging is the backbone of PMAY-G inspection and instalment release. Here's what you need to know:
 +
 +  * **What is a geo-tag?** A GPS-stamped photograph of your house at a construction milestone, uploaded via the official **AwaasApp** by the field functionary (Gram Rozgar Sahayak / Patwari / VLE).
 +  * **Four geo-tag stages**: **Foundation** → **Lintel** → **Roof / Completion** → **Final inspection**. Each must be uploaded before the corresponding instalment is released.
 +  * **How to check**: search your Registration Number at [[https://awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx|awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] — the result shows geo-tag status with date stamps for each stage.
 +  * **What if a stage shows "Pending"?** The field functionary hasn't visited or hasn't uploaded the photo. This is the **#1 silent blocker** for instalments. File a written request to the BDO; if no action in 15 days, file an RTI.
 +  * **Can I upload the geo-tag myself?** No — only authorised field functionaries with the AwaasApp can upload. Do not trust any third-party app that claims to do this.
 +
 +If your geo-tag has been pending for months, see the practical guide at [[practical-guides:pmay-rural-instalment-stuck-geotag-inspection|PMAY rural instalment stuck + geo-tag inspection]] and [[rti-for-pmay-installment|RTI for PMAY instalment]].

 +
 +Wherever you are, the ladder is the same — use it in this order:
 +
 +| Level | Who to ask | What they can do |
 +| Village | Gram Panchayat Secretary / Rozgar Sahayak | Read your AwaasSoft record, confirm list inclusion |
 +| Block | Block Development Officer (BDO) | Fix verification, geo-tag and instalment holds |

 +| Anywhere | RTI application under §6, RTI Act 2005 | Forces a written, time-bound answer in 30 days |
 +
 +===== Why was my PMAY application rejected? Reasons and how to appeal =====
 +
 +A PMAY rejection is **not the end of the road**. Here are the common rejection reasons and the appeal path for each:
 +
 +  * **SECC 2011 / Awaas+ exclusion** (Gramin) — your household wasn't in the eligibility list. **Appeal**: get surveyed under **Awaas+ 2024** (app launched 17-09-2024) at your Gram Panchayat; or apply via your state's parallel housing scheme.
 +  * **Income exceeds threshold** (Urban 2.0) — your household income is above ₹9 lakh (MIG cap). **Appeal**: verify with your latest ITR; if the portal has outdated income data, file a written correction request with your ULB.
 +  * **Already own a pucca house** — automatic disqualification if any family member owns a pucca house in India (joint ownership counts). **Appeal**: if the pucca house belongs to a separated family member, submit a separation/declaration affidavit to the BDO/ULB.
 +  * **Land record mismatch** (Gramin) — patta/khasra doesn't match the applicant's name. **Appeal**: get the land record corrected at the Tehsildar's office, then re-submit to the BDO.
 +  * **Duplicate application** — same family applied twice. **Appeal**: withdraw the duplicate and retain the original.
 +  * **Beneficiary list manipulation** — fake names inserted, real ones excluded at the panchayat level. **Appeal**: file an RTI for the **full beneficiary list** of your panchayat and cross-check — see [[:pmay-beneficiary-list|PMAY beneficiary list guide]] and [[rejection-recovery:pmay-rejected|PMAY rejected — recovery guide]].
 +
 +**Statutory appeal path (for any rejection):**
 +
 +  1. **Written grievance** to the BDO / ULB — request reasons under **§4(1)(d)** of the RTI Act (reasons for any administrative decision must be given).
 +  2. If no satisfactory reply in 30 days → **First Appeal under §19(1)** to the First Appellate Authority. Use the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/first-appeal-app.html|First Appeal Generator]].
 +  3. If the First Appeal is also rejected → **Second Appeal / Complaint to the Information Commission** under §19(3) / §18.
 +
 +For the full rejection-to-recovery flow, see [[rejection-recovery:pmay-rejected|PMAY rejected — recovery guide]] and [[pmay-urban-2-name-not-in-list-rejection-complaint-rti|PMAY Urban 2.0 name not in list / rejection complaint]].
 +
 +===== If you're not in the beneficiary list =====
 +
 +  - **Check the SECC family records** on the portal: [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]] → Stakeholders → **SECC Family Member Details**. Most rural exclusions trace back to the SECC 2011 list. (The old standalone secc.gov.in site is no longer reachable — use the portal path or ask your BDO.)
 +  - **Awaas+ / Awaas+ 2024** — if you were missed by SECC 2011, the Awaas+ list is the route in. A **new Awaas+ 2024 survey app launched on 17-09-2024** to add eligible households to the permanent wait list — the portal's **AwaasPlus2024 Survey** section has details; your Gram Panchayat runs the survey.
 +  - **State wait lists** — several states maintain post-SECC additions to their permanent wait lists. Apply via your Tehsildar/BDO.
 +  - **PMAY-U 2.0 fresh applications** — urban applications are open at [[https://pmaymis.gov.in|pmaymis.gov.in]]; your Urban Local Body accepts walk-in applications in most states.
 +  - **File an RTI** — see below for the auto-drafted format.
 +
 +===== Real story from a citizen =====
 +
 +**What we hear from RTI Wiki users:** Lakshmi, a 45-year-old widow in rural Andhra Pradesh, was approved for PMAY-G in 2022. By 2025 she had received only the first instalment of ₹35,000 of the ₹1.20 lakh sanctioned. Construction was stalled. She filed an RTI to the BDO under §6 asking (a) instalment-wise release dates and amounts, (b) geo-tag verification status, (c) reason for delay in 2nd/3rd instalments, (d) officer-in-charge. The reply in 27 days revealed pending geo-tag verification (the village Patwari hadn't visited). The Patwari visited within 6 days; remaining instalments released within 30 days. **Total RTI cost: ₹10.**
 +
 +For more real-world PMAY RTI cases that succeeded, see [[rti-for-pmay-status|RTI for PMAY status]] and [[rti-pmay-application-stuck|RTI — PMAY application stuck]].
 +
 +===== 8 reasons your status may be stuck =====
 +
 +  * **SECC 2011 / Awaas+ ineligibility** (Gramin) — you're not in the SECC or Awaas+ list. Most common cause for "Not Eligible". Fix: get surveyed under **Awaas+ 2024** at your Gram Panchayat, or ask about your state's parallel housing scheme.
 +  * **Income exceeds threshold** (Urban 2.0) — EWS ≤ ₹3 L, LIG ₹3–6 L, MIG ₹6–9 L. Verify against your **ITR** before accepting a rejection; sometimes outdated income data is on file.
 +  * **Already own a pucca house** in any name in India (joint ownership counts) — automatic disqualification.
 +  * **Land record issue** (Gramin) — you must own (or be in legal possession of) the land. Patta/khasra mismatch blocks sanction.
 +  * **Aadhaar–bank linkage missing** — 2nd / 3rd instalments hold without DBT linkage. Visit your branch with Aadhaar to seed it.
 +  * **Geo-tag mandate** — instalments freeze if the field functionary hasn't uploaded foundation/lintel/roof photos via the official app. The most common silent blocker.
 +  * **Beneficiary contribution unpaid** — some states expect a beneficiary contribution towards items like toilets or electricals; ask your BDO exactly what is pending. Often confused with the central subsidy.
 +  * **Beneficiary list manipulation at panchayat level** — fake beneficiaries inserted, real ones excluded. An RTI for the **full beneficiary list** of your panchayat exposes it — cross-check against [[:pmay-beneficiary-list|the published list]].
 +
 +===== Pro tips most people don't know =====
 +
 +  * **MGNREGA convergence** — PMAY-G converges with MGNREGA for **90-95 person-days** of unskilled wage labour for your house construction. Many beneficiaries never claim it. Apply at your Gram Panchayat with your MGNREGA job card — and see [[rti-for-mgnrega-wages|RTI for MGNREGA wages]] if those wages are stuck too.
 +  * **Toilet under SBM** — the Swachh Bharat Mission incentive (₹12,000 for eligible households) for the toilet is **separate** from the ₹1.20 lakh PMAY-G assistance. Ask for both.
 +  * **ISS interest subsidy** — apply via your **bank**, not via any state portal. The bank files your claim in the MIS; the subsidy is credited to your loan account in 5 yearly instalments.
 +  * **Geo-tagged photos** — your house's construction photos are tracked in AwaasSoft. If instalments are frozen, the missing geo-tag upload is the first thing to check — escalate to the BDO.
 +  * **Awaas+ 2024 window** — even if you were not in SECC 2011 or the 2018 Awaas+ list, the **Awaas+ 2024 survey** (app launched 17-09-2024) is adding new eligible households. Ask your Gram Panchayat whether your household was surveyed.
 +  * **Aadhaar is for DBT, not search** — Aadhaar seeding with your bank account is mandatory for instalments, but the public status search key is your Registration Number.
 +
 +===== Decision tree — what to do based on status =====
 +
 +| **Status shows** | **What to do** |
 +| Eligible — Sanctioned | Wait for the 1st instalment; if nothing moves in 30 days, ask the BDO in writing. |
 +| Eligible — Not yet sanctioned | If 90+ days have passed → **file RTI to the BDO/District PMAY cell**. |
 +| Sanctioned — 1st instalment held | Check Aadhaar–bank link → branch visit. |
 +| 1st released, foundation done — 2nd held | Geo-tag pending — escalate to the field functionary via the BDO. |
 +| Construction complete — final not released | Final geo-tag inspection pending — request it from the BDO in writing. |
 +| Status: "Not Eligible" | Check SECC Family Member Details on the portal. If wrongly excluded → Awaas+ 2024 survey + RTI for the grounds of exclusion. |
 +| Status: "Application not found" | Re-search with name variants in the village report, or ask the Panchayat Secretary to pull the record — common with old data. |
 +
 +===== If status is delayed beyond SLA — file an RTI (free, 30-day reply rule) =====
 +
 +In practice, sanctions take **60–90 days**; completions 12–18 months. If your status is stuck well beyond that, you have a **statutory right** under **§6 of the RTI Act, 2005** to demand information from the public authority. The authority **must reply within 30 days** (§7(1)). The central fee is **₹10**; **BPL applicants pay nothing** (§7(5)). See the [[:act|full RTI Act]] and [[:rti-fees-by-state|state-wise fees]].
 +
 +**File the RTI to:** the **BDO / District PMAY-G cell** (rural) or your **Urban Local Body + state mission office** (urban).
 +
 +**Ask these 7 questions:**
 +
 +  - SECC 2011 / Awaas+ eligibility category and inclusion date.
 +  - Beneficiary list inclusion date and panchayat/ward serial number.
 +  - All instalments released — dates and amounts (with the bank account credited).
 +  - Geo-tag verification status — foundation / lintel / roof / completion (with the inspecting officer's designation).
 +  - Reason for delay or deduction in any instalment, if applicable.
 +  - Officer-in-charge of my application — designation and office contact.
 +  - For PMAY-U: **ISS interest subsidy** status — applied / pending / disbursed.

 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== Am I eligible for PMAY-G if my name is not in SECC 2011? ====
 +Possibly yes — the **Awaas+** route exists exactly for this. The Cabinet's August 2024 extension of PMAY-G (FY 2024-25 to 2028-29) covers the Awaas+ (2018) list after updation plus the balance SECC 2011 wait list, and the **Awaas+ 2024 survey app (launched 17-09-2024)** is adding newly eligible households. Ask your Gram Panchayat whether your household has been surveyed. Several states also run parallel housing schemes for excluded families.
 +
 +==== How can I check PMAY status by mobile number? ====
 +**Direct mobile-only search is not supported** by any official portal. You need: your Registration Number (Gramin), your application reference (Urban), or the name-based village report at [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]]. Treat any third-party app promising "status by mobile number" as unofficial.
 +
 +==== How can I check PMAY status by Aadhaar? ====
 +The public PMAY-G search at awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in works by **Registration Number**, not Aadhaar. Aadhaar is linked inside the system for DBT payments but is not a public search key. If you only know your Aadhaar, use the name-based village report or ask your Panchayat Secretary to pull your record. See [[:pmay-status-check-with-aadhar|the Aadhaar status guide]].
 +
 +==== How to check PMAY status village-wise? ====
 +Open **[[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]]** → **Social Audit Reports** → **Beneficiary details for verification** → State → District → Block → Panchayat. The full village list appears with registration numbers and instalment status. See the [[:pmay-beneficiary-list|full beneficiary list guide]].
 +
 +==== How much subsidy do I get under the PMAY-U Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS)? ====
 +Under PMAY-U 2.0 ISS (for loans sanctioned on or after 1 September 2024): households with annual income up to ₹9 lakh, taking a home loan up to ₹25 lakh for a house valued up to ₹35 lakh, get a **4% interest subsidy on the first ₹8 lakh** of the loan — maximum benefit **₹1.80 lakh**, paid in 5 yearly instalments into the loan account. The old CLSS closed (CLSS-MIG in March 2022) and is **not** part of PMAY-U 2.0.
 +
 +==== Can NRIs get PMAY? ====
 +No — PMAY targets resident Indian households without a pucca house. Aadhaar-based authentication is required for DBT, which effectively excludes non-resident applicants.
 +
 +==== What if my house was completed 2 years ago but no completion certificate issued? ====
 +File an **RTI to the BDO** for: (a) completion certificate status, (b) final geo-tag verification report, (c) inspecting officer designation and inspection date. Most "stuck completion" cases resolve once the final geo-tag photo is uploaded by the field functionary.
 +
 +==== Can I get PMAY for an extension to an existing house? ====
 +No — PMAY-G funds new construction or upgradation of **kutcha / semi-pucca** houses to **pucca**. If you already have a pucca house, you're disqualified. Adding a floor or extension is **not** covered.
 +
 +==== I changed my Aadhaar mobile number. Does it affect PMAY status? ====
 +No — your PMAY record is keyed to your registration, Aadhaar and bank account. A mobile number change doesn't affect the status check, but SMS notifications won't reach the new number until you update it with your bank and the Panchayat records.
 +
 +==== Can a woman head-of-family apply alone if her husband is alive but separated? ====
 +Yes — PMAY encourages the house to be in the **woman's name** (or jointly) under both Gramin and Urban. Separated women, widows and single mothers can apply directly with their own identity documents.
 +
 +==== Is Aadhaar mandatory for PMAY? ====
 +Yes — Aadhaar (or an Aadhaar enrolment number with proof) is required under both Gramin and Urban, and the Aadhaar–bank link is what releases the DBT instalments.
 +
 +==== What is the difference between PMAY-G and IAY? ====
 +**Indira Awas Yojana (IAY)** was the predecessor scheme (1985–2016). PMAY-G replaced IAY from **1 April 2016** with revised rules: SECC-based eligibility, higher assistance, geo-tagging, DBT, MGNREGA convergence. Old IAY registration numbers still work in the AwaasSoft search — full guide at [[:iay-pmayg-beneficiary-status|IAY/PMAYG beneficiary status]].
 +
 +==== My status shows "Sanctioned" but I haven't received money for 6 months. What now? ====
 +**File an RTI** to the BDO under §6 for: instalment release dates, the bank account credited, and the reason for non-receipt. **30-day mandatory reply** under §7(1). If money was released but didn't reach you → it's a bank/DBT issue (complain to the bank, then the RBI Ombudsman). If not released → it's administrative (file a First Appeal under §19(1) on Day 31 if the PIO doesn't reply).
 +
 +==== Can I check status from a mobile app? ====
 +The field apps (AwaasApp / Awaas+ survey apps) are for **officials and surveyors** — the **Awaas+ 2024 app** (launched 17-09-2024) is how new households get surveyed onto the wait list. For **citizens**, the easiest mobile route is the same web portal — it is mobile-responsive. Third-party "PMAY status" apps are unofficial — never share your Aadhaar with them.
 +
 +==== What documents prove my eligibility for the next instalment? ====
 +For Gramin: **bank passbook + Aadhaar + sanction letter + geo-tagged construction photos** (uploaded by the field functionary). For Urban ISS claims, your **bank** handles the subsidy paperwork against your loan account. See [[:pmay-documents-required|PMAY documents required]] for the full checklist.
 +
 +==== Is there a Hindi version of this guide? ====
 +Hindi version available at [[:pmay-status-hindi|PMAY स्टेटस हिंदी में]]. You can also file an RTI in Hindi with our [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/awaaz-rti.html|🎤 AwaazRTI]] voice tool if your status is stuck.
 +
 +==== I'm a senior citizen 70+. Do I get PMAY priority? ====
 +PMAY-G eligibility is list-based (SECC 2011 / Awaas+), not age-based, though states may prioritise vulnerable households in their wait-list ordering — ask your BDO how your state sequences the list. Separately, every 70+ citizen is eligible for **[[:ayushman-bharat-benefits-2026|Ayushman Bharat ₹5 lakh free hospital cover]]** since October 2024.
 +
 +==== What is the difference between PMAY-G and PMAY-U 2.0? ====
 +PMAY-G is for **rural** households (SECC/Awaas+ eligible, ₹1.20 lakh DBT, geo-tagging, no bank loan). PMAY-U 2.0 is for **urban** EWS/LIG/MIG families (income-based, 4 verticals including ISS interest subsidy on home loans, ₹2.25 lakh central share for BLC/AHP). You cannot apply for both. See the [[#pmay g vs pmay u 2 0 what s the difference|comparison table above]].
 +
 +==== How long does PMAY-G sanction take after application? ====
 +In practice, **60–90 days** from eligibility verification to sanction order. Construction completion typically takes **12–18 months** from the 1st instalment. If your sanction hasn't moved in 90+ days, file an RTI — see [[rti-pmay-application-stuck|RTI — PMAY application stuck]].
 +
 +==== My PMAY-G instalment is stuck. What should I do? ====
 +First check your geo-tag status at [[https://awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx|awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in]]. The most common cause is a **missing geo-tag photo** at the corresponding construction stage. File a written request to your BDO; if no action in 15 days, file an RTI asking for instalment dates, geo-tag status, and the officer-in-charge. Full guide: [[rti-for-pmay-installment|RTI for PMAY instalment]] and [[practical-guides:pmay-rural-instalment-stuck-geotag-inspection|geo-tag inspection guide]].
 +
 +==== Can I appeal if my PMAY application is rejected? ====
 +Yes. First demand the **written reasons** under §4(1)(d) of the RTI Act. Then file a **First Appeal under §19(1)** within 30-45 days. If rejected again, escalate to a **Second Appeal** at the State/Central Information Commission. For the complete rejection-to-recovery flow, see [[rejection-recovery:pmay-rejected|PMAY rejected — recovery guide]].
 +
 +==== Where can I find PMAY application documents and forms? ====
 +See [[:pmay-documents-required|PMAY documents required]] for the full checklist (Gramin + Urban), and [[:documents:pmay-application|PMAY application documents]] for downloadable templates. For the application process itself, see [[:how-to-apply:pmay-housing|How to apply for PMAY housing]] and [[:apply-pmay-urban-gramin-2026|Apply PMAY Urban + Gramin 2026]].
