 +<WRAP info>
 +**Quick answer:** PMAY has two streams: **(1) PMAY-U (Urban)** — Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) for first home buyers — interest subsidy 3-6.5% on loan up to Rs 6L; (2) **PMAY-G (Gramin)** — direct grant Rs 1.2L (plain) or Rs 1.3L (hilly/NE) for landless/kuccha-house families to build pucca house. **PMAY-U closed for new applications March 2022; PMAY 2.0 launched September 2024 with revised norms**. PMAY-G ongoing; SECC 2011 list-based.

 +  - **PMAY-G: Check SECC 2011 inclusion** — awaassoft.nic.in/netiay/Benificiary.aspx — search by Aadhaar / name / state. If not in list, apply for review at Block Office.
 +  - **PMAY-G: Block-level verification** — BDO + Patwari verify house condition + Aadhaar + bank account.
 +  - **PMAY-G: Approval + sanction** — Sanction in 3 instalments: Rs 25K (foundation) + Rs 50K (lintel) + Rs 50K (completion) — bank-credited.
 +  - **PMAY-G: Construction monitoring** — GIS-tagged photos at each stage. Geotagging mandatory before next instalment.
