IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary Status 2026

Quick answer. IAY (Indira Awas Yojana) ran from 1985 to March 2016. In April 2016 it was merged into PMAY-G (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana — Gramin) and all active IAY records were migrated to the unified AwaasSoft database. Today, queries like iay, iay/pmayg beneficiary, iay.nic, iay/pmayg beneficiary status, iay/pmayg beneficiary report, and iay/pmayg beneficiary gramin all point to the same beneficiary database — at pmayg.nic.in (also at awaassoft.nic.in). The portal kept the IAY/PMAYG label so legacy applicants can still find their pre-2016 records using their original IAY registration numbers.

• iay.nic.in — the original IAY portal URL — now redirects to pmayg.nic.in.
• iay — short for Indira Awas Yojana — the predecessor scheme.
• iay/pmayg — the AwaasSoft system label that bridges the merger.

If you applied under IAY before April 2016 and your application was still active at that point, your record is in PMAY-G's AwaasSoft database. If you applied for housing assistance after April 2016, you're a PMAY-G beneficiary directly.

1. Go to pmayg.nic.in (or awaassoft.nic.in — same database).
2. Click Stakeholders in the top menu.
3. Click IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary.

By IAY Registration Number — if you have your old IAY number from before 2016:

1. Enter the number in the search field.
2. Click Submit.

By PMAY-G Registration Number — for any post-2016 application:

1. Enter the 12-digit number.
2. Click Submit.

By Aadhaar — works for both legacy IAY and current PMAY-G:

1. Click Advanced Search.
2. Enter Aadhaar number (12 digits).
3. Optional: State + Year.
4. Click Search.

By name — when you've forgotten registration number AND Aadhaar isn't linked:

1. Click Advanced Search.
2. Pick State → District → Block → Panchayat.
3. Enter name + father's name.
4. Click Search.

The beneficiary record shows:

• Identification: name, father's name, gender, age, photograph.
• Sanction details: order number, date, scheme variant (PMAY-G plain / hill / NE / tribal).
• Instalment status: 1st (Rs ~35,000), 2nd, 3rd, completion.
• Geo-tag photographs: foundation → plinth → lintel → roof → completion.
• Bank account (masked).

For the village-wise IAY/PMAYG beneficiary report:

1. Open pmayg.nic.in.
2. Click Reports (top menu) → Social Audit Reports → Beneficiary details for verification.
3. Select State → District → Block → Panchayat → Year.
4. Click Get Report.
5. Use Excel or PDF (top-right) to download.

The same report covers both IAY (legacy) and PMAY-G (current) records — they're stored in one unified table.

PMAY-G is only for rural households. The “Gramin” suffix in queries like iay/pmayg beneficiary gramin or pmayg nic in gramin list refers to PMAY-Gramin (rural). For urban housing, the scheme is PMAY-Urban / PMAY-U 2.0 — a completely separate database at pmay-urban.gov.in.

If your IAY application from before 2016 was approved but you never received the final instalment (or your house construction was incomplete), the application is likely flagged as Reverted or Inactive in AwaasSoft. To activate it:

1. Visit your Block Development Officer (BDO) with your IAY sanction order copy.
2. Submit an Awaas+ self-survey at pmayg.nic.in to bring your details up to date with current SECC + Awaas+ standards.
3. File an RTI to BDO asking the current status of your IAY case and the reason for its Reverted/Inactive flag.

No. IAY ran from 1985 to March 2016 and was officially subsumed into PMAY-G on 1 April 2016. The IAY name persists only in the legacy AwaasSoft search label and in older sanction orders.

Your application is in AwaasSoft as an IAY or IAY/PMAYG record. Look it up by your old IAY registration number at pmayg.nic.in → Stakeholders → IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary. If the status shows Reverted or Pending Verification, file an RTI to your BDO with your sanction order copy attached.

It redirects to pmayg.nic.in. NIC kept the legacy URL alive specifically because rural applicants still type iay.nic.in from memory.

None — they're searches against the same database. IAY/PMAYG is the AwaasSoft label that covers both legacy and current applications.

No. Apply for PMAY-G instead, via your Gram Panchayat or via the Awaas+ self-survey at pmayg.nic.in.

If you're an urban applicant looking for an interest-subsidy home loan under PMAY-U / CLSS (or its 2024 ISS successor under PMAY-U 2.0), check direct lender pages:

• HDFC Home Loans (PMAY-CLSS / ISS) — hdfc.com/housing-loans
• SBI Home Loans — homeloans.sbi
• LIC Housing Finance — lichousing.com

PMAY-G (rural) does not use bank loans — it pays direct subsidy to the beneficiary's bank account in instalments.
