Sample RTI: PMAY Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Beneficiary List, Sanction and Instalment Status

• Application submitted on pmaymis.gov.in (Urban) or pmayg.nic.in (Gramin) is “Approved” but no first instalment received.
• Second or third instalment held up despite construction-stage geo-tagged photographs being uploaded.
• Name not appearing in the Permanent Wait List (PWL) despite being on the SECC 2011 automatic-eligibility list.
• Beneficiary list of your village or ward not displayed at the panchayat / ward office.
• Construction completed but final instalment held up at the geo-tag verification stage.
• Rejection at the AwaasSoft / AwaasApp data-entry stage without reasons recorded.

• Aadhaar de-duplication failure: fix on UIDAI portal first, then file RTI if the PMAY portal still does not link.
• Bank account de-link: NACH-mandate failure is a banking matter; first take the PFMS-rejection slip to your bank.
• Asking for someone else's bank-account details: refused under Section 8(1)(j). See privacy caution.
• Generic policy questions: try the SUPPORT portal at MoHUA or the PMAY-G dashboard first.

• State your Application ID (PMAY-MIS for Urban, AwaasSoft Registration Number for Gramin) and the date of registration.
• Give the District, Block, Gram Panchayat, and Ward number for PMAY-G; State, ULB code, and Ward number for PMAY-U.
• Request the certified copy of the sanction order, not a printout of the dashboard.
• Ask for the Beneficiary List of only your village or ward, to keep the request narrow.
• For instalment delay, ask for the PFMS transaction reference numbers for each instalment.
• Send by Speed Post (Acknowledgement Due) and keep the AD card.

You may ask for your own application file, your own sanction, your own instalment dates, and the published beneficiary list of your village or ward (which is required to be displayed publicly under PMAY guidelines). You cannot ask for another beneficiary's bank account, Aadhaar number, or family-photo records: that engages Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act and Section 11 third-party procedure.

4. I draw attention to Section 19(8)(a)(i) on costs and Section 20(1) on
   penalties for unreasonable delay.

Yours faithfully,

File at the District-level office that processes your application: the Municipal Corporation / Urban Development Authority for PMAY-U and the Block Development Office / DRDA for PMAY-G. The State Nodal Agency is the right level only if the district replies that the file has moved to the State.

Yes. PMAY-G guidelines require the beneficiary list to be publicly displayed at the Gram Panchayat office, so the list itself is in the public domain under Section 4(1)(b) and is fully disclosable. Limit the request to your village or ward to keep the records small.

Ask for the certified copy of the village PWL, the rejection order if any, and the Awaas+ survey record for your household. If SECC eligibility is on file but PWL does not include your name, you have a strong administrative-review claim before the District Collector.

Guidelines fix 7 days for geo-tag verification after photo upload. Past day 7, the RTI is the cleanest lever to fix a name on the file.

The first 20 pages are free of photocopy charge under Section 7(5) read with the RTI (Regulation of Fee and Cost) Rules, 2005. Beyond 20 pages, charges apply but the PIO must intimate them in writing before despatch.
