IAY / PMAY-G Beneficiary Status 2026: Check by Name

Quick answer. IAY (Indira Awas Yojana) started in 1985 and was restructured into PMAY-G (Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana — Gramin) with effect from 1 April 2016. All active IAY records were migrated into the unified AwaasSoft database, so searches like iay, iay/pmayg beneficiary status, iay/pmayg beneficiary report and iay/pmayg beneficiary gramin all point to one database. Big change for 2026: the portal address itself has moved. The old pmayg.nic.in and iay.nic.in addresses no longer open for most users — the working portal is pmayg.dord.gov.in (typing pmayg.gov.in also lands there). The search page still carries the IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary label, so legacy applicants can find pre-2016 records with their original registration numbers.

• iay.nic.in — the original IAY portal address. It has been retired along with pmayg.nic.in; use pmayg.dord.gov.in instead.
• iay — short for Indira Awas Yojana, the predecessor scheme (1985 to March 2016).
• iay/pmayg — the AwaasSoft system label that bridges the merger. The beneficiary search page on the current portal is still titled IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary.

If you applied under IAY before April 2016 and your application was still active then, your record sits in the PMAY-G AwaasSoft database. If you applied after April 2016, you are a PMAY-G beneficiary directly.

Ministry of Rural Development web services moved from nic.in addresses to the Department of Rural Development domain. What that means for you in 2026:

If a YouTube video or an old article tells you to open pmayg.nic.in and the page never loads, this is why. Nothing happened to your record — only the address changed.

1. Go to pmayg.dord.gov.in.
2. Click Stakeholders in the top menu.
3. Click IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary. This opens the search page at awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in.

The current search page takes one field: Registration Number / Beneficiary ID.

1. Enter your PMAY-G registration number, or your Beneficiary ID (the portal accepts IDs from 9 to 60 characters, which covers old IAY-era numbers too).
2. Click Submit.

Keep the number exactly as printed on your sanction order or acknowledgement slip. If the portal says “Please enter valid Registration Number”, re-check for a missed digit before assuming your record is gone.

If you have lost your registration number, use the village-wise beneficiary report instead:

1. Open report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx.
2. Scroll to H. Social Audit Reports.
3. Click Beneficiary details for verification.
4. Select your State, District, Block, Gram Panchayat and scheme year.
5. Find your name in the list — the row shows your registration number, which you can then use in Step 2.

The same report section also lists IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary and AwaasPlus Beneficiary Details reports, and the search page links to AwaasPlus Family Member Details and SECC Family Member Details lookups.

A found record typically shows:

• Identification: name, father or husband name, State, District, Block, Panchayat.
• Sanction details: sanction number and date, scheme (IAY legacy or PMAY-G).
• Instalment status: which instalments have been released to your bank account.
• Physical progress: construction stage as updated by the Block after geo-tagged inspection photos.

If any field looks wrong — for example money shown as “released” that never reached your account — note the FTO (Fund Transfer Order) details shown on screen. That exact reference goes into your RTI application below.

This is the most reliable single-field lookup. Here is a detailed walkthrough:

1. Locate your registration number. It appears on your sanction order (IAY or PMAY-G), your AwaasSoft acknowledgement receipt, or any SMS sent by the Block office. PMAY-G registration numbers are typically 9–14 digits; legacy IAY IDs can be longer.
2. Open the beneficiary search. Go to pmayg.dord.gov.in → Stakeholders → IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary.
3. Enter the number exactly. Do not add spaces, dashes or leading zeros that are not part of the original number. The field is case-insensitive but digit-sensitive.
4. Click Submit. If your record exists, you will see the beneficiary card with name, address, sanction details, instalment status and geo-tag photos.
5. If “No record found”: Three common reasons — (a) a digit was mistyped; (b) the record is under a different Block/Panchayat jurisdiction after a boundary change; © the record was deactivated and you need to check the village-wise beneficiary report (see the next section) or file an RTI.

Many applicants are confused about whether they are an IAY beneficiary or a PMAY-G beneficiary. The short answer: if you are checking today, you check the same portal for both. But understanding the distinction helps you know what assistance you are entitled to:

Key takeaway: You do not need to choose. Both legacy IAY and current PMAY-G records are in the same AwaasSoft database. Enter your registration number at pmayg.dord.gov.in and the system shows whichever scheme your record falls under. For a broader comparison of urban vs rural housing schemes, see PMAY 2026 Complete Guide and How to Apply: PMAY Urban vs Gramin.

Downloading or viewing the full village-wise PMAY-G beneficiary list is essential for social audits, for checking whether your name appears in the sanctioned list, and for verifying that no eligible household was skipped. Here is the complete method:

1. Step 1: Open the public reports portal at report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx.
2. Step 2: Scroll down to H. Social Audit Reports.
3. Step 3: Click Beneficiary details for verification.
4. Step 4: Select your State → District → Block → Gram Panchayat → Scheme Year from the dropdowns.
5. Step 5: Click View Report. The full list of sanctioned beneficiaries in that Panchayat appears — covering both IAY legacy and PMAY-G records in one unified table.
6. Step 6: Each row shows the beneficiary name, father/husband name, registration number, sanction date, instalment status and current construction stage.
7. Step 7: To save a copy, use your browser's Print → Save as PDF option. There is no direct “Download” button on the portal.

For deeper coverage of this workflow, see pmayg.nic.in Beneficiary List and AwaasSoft Beneficiary Details.

For the full IAY/PMAYG beneficiary report of your village (useful for social audit, or to check whether a neighbour got a house while you were skipped):

1. Open report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx.
2. Under H. Social Audit Reports, click Beneficiary details for verification.
3. Select State → District → Block → Panchayat → Year.
4. The list covers both legacy IAY and current PMAY-G records — they live in one unified table.

PMAY-G is only for rural households. The “Gramin” in queries like iay/pmayg beneficiary gramin means PMAY-Gramin (rural). Urban housing runs under PMAY-Urban 2.0, a completely separate scheme and database at pmay-urban.gov.in. If your house is inside a municipality or municipal corporation area, no PMAY-G search will ever find you — check the urban portal instead. See also PMAY-Urban 2.0 Status Check and Name Not in PMAY-Urban List — Complaint & RTI.

PMAY-G assistance (Rs 1.20 lakh in plain areas, Rs 1.30 lakh in hilly/NE states) is paid in instalments linked to construction stages, directly to your bank account through Fund Transfer Orders (FTOs) processed via the Public Financial Management System (PFMS). Here is how to track each stage:

The four standard PMAY-G instalments and their triggers:

How to check FTO status:

1. On the portal: Open pmayg.dord.gov.in → Stakeholders → IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary → enter your registration number. The instalment column shows each FTO number, date and amount credited.
2. Through PFMS: FTOs flow through pfms.nic.in (Public Financial Management System). If an FTO is generated but the money has not arrived, the PFMS status will show whether it is processed, pending, or rejected (usually for Aadhaar-bank mismatch).
3. Through your bank: Ask your bank branch to check for any government DBT credit against your Aadhaar-linked account on or after the FTO date shown on the portal.

Geo-tagging is the backbone of PMAY-G's transparency system. Since 2016, every beneficiary house must be photographed at four construction stages and geo-tagged (GPS coordinates embedded) in the AwaasSoft database. No geo-tag = no next instalment.

How geo-tagging works:

1. A trained Gram Panchayat surveyor or Technical Assistant visits the construction site at each stage with the AwaasPlus mobile app or the PMAY-G Geo-tagging app.
2. They take geo-tagged photos showing the GPS coordinates overlaid on the image.
3. The photos upload to the AwaasSoft server, where they are linked to your registration number.
4. The Block office verifies the photos before approving the next instalment release.

How to check your geo-tag photos:

1. Search your registration number on pmayg.dord.gov.in → IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary.
2. The beneficiary record page shows a Physical Progress or Geo-tag Photos section with thumbnails of each stage's photo.
3. If a photo is missing, that is the reason your instalment is stuck — contact your Gram Panchayat surveyor to schedule a visit.

If the surveyor refuses to geo-tag:

This is a common complaint. The refusal is itself actionable:

1. First, make a written request to the BDO (Block Development Officer) asking for a geo-tagging visit, citing your registration number and sanction date.
2. If no action within 15 days, file an RTI asking: “Please provide the status of geo-tagging for registration number [X], and the reasons for any delay in conducting the geo-tagging visit.”
3. Use the AI RTI Drafter or the How to File RTI in India guide to get started.

The geo-tagging framework is mandated by the Ministry of Rural Development under the PMAY-G operational guidelines and monitored via the PMAY-G reporting portal.

Instalment delays are the single most common grievance in PMAY-G. Here is a step-by-step escalation ladder:

1. Step 1 — Self-check (same day): Search your registration number on pmayg.dord.gov.in. Check the instalment column. Note the status of each instalment: Sanctioned, FTO Generated, Payment Processed, or Rejected.
2. Step 2 — Bank check (within 7 days): If an FTO shows as Generated or Processed but money has not arrived, visit your bank with the FTO date. Ask them to verify if a government DBT credit is pending or was rejected due to Aadhaar mismatch.
3. Step 3 — Written complaint to BDO (within 15 days): Submit a written complaint to the Block Development Officer with your registration number, FTO details, and bank statement showing no credit. Keep a stamped copy as proof.
4. Step 4 — File RTI (after 15 days of no response): If the BDO does not act, file an RTI under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005. Use the template in the “How to file RTI for PMAY-G beneficiary status” section below, or the ready-made RTI for PMAY instalment delay letter.
5. Step 5 — First Appeal (after 30 days of RTI): If the PIO does not reply within 30 days, file a First Appeal under Section 19(1). See RTI First Appeal Guide and First & Second Appeal Complete Guide.

When the Union Cabinet extended PMAY-G to 2028-29 (adding two crore houses), it created a permanent wait list drawn from the Awaas+ survey. Here is how to check if you are on it:

1. The permanent wait list is built from the Awaas+ 2024 survey. Households recorded as deprived (kutcha house, no adult member aged 18–59, female-headed households with no adult male, SC/ST households, etc.) in the Awaas+ survey are ranked and added to the waitlist for sanction.
2. Check your Awaas+ survey status: Go to pmayg.dord.gov.in → Stakeholders → AwaasPlus Beneficiary Details or AwaasPlus Family Member Details. Enter your details to see if your household was captured in the survey.
3. If you are not in the Awaas+ survey: Your first step is to get your household recorded. Contact your Gram Panchayat surveyor, or use the AwaasPlus 2024 self-survey app (Google Play) with Aadhaar-based face authentication. See the “Awaas+ 2024 survey” section below for details.
4. If the surveyor refuses to record your household: File an RTI to the Block PIO asking: “Whether the household of [name], [village], [GP] was surveyed under Awaas+ 2024; if not, the reasons; and whether a fresh survey entry will be initiated.” See How to File RTI at Gram Panchayat.

PMAY-G progress varies significantly across states. The following table shows approximate houses completed under PMAY-G for the top-performing states (cumulative through 2024-25, as reported by the Ministry of Rural Development):

Source: Ministry of Rural Development PMAY-G progress dashboard at report.pmayg.dord.gov.in and PIB releases. Figures are indicative and updated periodically.

Sources: Ministry of Rural Development PMAY-G framework and PIB releases on the 1 April 2016 restructuring.

On 9 August 2024 the Union Cabinet approved continuing PMAY-G through FY 2024-25 to 2028-29, adding assistance for two crore more rural houses with a total outlay of Rs 3,06,137 crore (PIB, 9 August 2024). The per-house assistance stays at Rs 1.20 lakh in plain areas and Rs 1.30 lakh in North-Eastern and hill states. Practical meaning: if you were left out earlier, the scheme is open for new additions through the Awaas+ survey route — you are not chasing a closed scheme.

The waitlist for the extended scheme comes from the Awaas+ 2024 survey. Two routes:

• Assisted survey — the Gram Panchayat surveyor records your household through the AwaasPlus 2024 mobile app.
• Self-survey — eligible households can complete the survey themselves on the AwaasPlus 2024 app (Google Play) using Aadhaar-based face authentication.

Survey windows open and close by government order, so check the current status on pmayg.dord.gov.in or ask at your Gram Panchayat before assuming the window is shut. If the surveyor refuses to record your household, that refusal is itself a fit subject for an RTI application.

If your pre-2016 IAY application was sanctioned but the money or the completion never came, the record is often flagged Reverted or Inactive in AwaasSoft. Do this:

1. Visit your Block Development Officer (BDO) with a copy of your IAY sanction order and ask for the current AwaasSoft status in writing.
2. If the household was missed in the SECC/Awaas+ lists, register in the Awaas+ survey (above) so you enter the current permanent waitlist.
3. File an RTI application with the Public Information Officer of the Block office under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005. The PIO must reply within 30 days under Section 7(1). If housing records sit with another office, the PIO must transfer your application under Section 6(3) within 5 days.

Sample RTI you can adapt:

To: The Public Information Officer,
Office of the Block Development Officer, [Block], [District], [State]

Subject: Information under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 —
IAY/PMAY-G beneficiary record

1. Registration number/Beneficiary ID [number] stands in the name of
   [name], village [village], Gram Panchayat [GP]. Please provide the
   current status of this record in AwaasSoft, including the reason
   for any Reverted/Inactive flag, with certified copies of the
   relevant entries.
2. Provide dates and FTO numbers of all instalments sanctioned and
   released against this record, and the bank account credited.
3. Provide the inspection/geo-tagging reports on the basis of which
   any instalment was withheld.
4. If this record was deleted or remanded, provide a copy of the
   order and the name and designation of the officer who passed it.

Application fee of Rs 10 is enclosed/paid as per rules.
[Name, address, date, signature]

Draft it in two minutes with the free AI RTI Drafter, track the 30-day clock with the Timeline Tracker, and if the PIO stays silent, build your appeal with the First Appeal Builder — silence beyond 30 days is a deemed refusal you can appeal under Section 19(1).

If the steps above have not resolved your issue, here is a structured RTI filing guide specifically for PMAY-G / IAY beneficiary matters:

Step 1 — Identify the Public Information Officer (PIO):

1. For PMAY-G, the first appellate authority is typically the BDO (Block Development Officer) or the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) Director.
2. For state-level queries, the PIO is in the State Department of Rural Development.
3. Check the complete RTI fee and address for your state in RTI Fees by State.

Step 2 — Draft your RTI application:

1. Use plain language. Number your questions. Ask for specific documents (FTO numbers, geo-tag reports, sanction orders).
2. Use the AI RTI Drafter tool or the How to File RTI in India guide.
3. For PMAY-G specifically, see RTI for PMAY Status and RTI for PMAY Application Stuck.

Step 3 — Pay the fee and submit:

1. RTI fee is Rs 10 for most states (Rs 20 in some). BPL cardholders are exempt.
2. Submit by speed post with acknowledgment (keep the receipt) or online through the central rtionline.gov.in portal if your state supports it.
3. See RTI Act 2005 Complete Guide for legal provisions.

Step 4 — Track the 30-day deadline:

1. The PIO must reply within 30 days (Section 7(1)). Use the Timeline Tracker to count down.

Step 5 — File First Appeal if no reply:

1. If 30 days pass with no reply, file a First Appeal under Section 19(1) within 30 days of the deemed refusal.
2. Use the First Appeal Guide or the First Appeal Builder tool.
3. If the First Appellate Authority also fails, escalate to the State Information Commission as a Second Appeal under Section 19(3).

No. IAY was restructured into PMAY-G with effect from 1 April 2016. The IAY name survives only as the legacy label on the AwaasSoft search page and on older sanction orders. New rural housing assistance flows only through PMAY-G, which the Cabinet has extended to 2028-29.

The Ministry of Rural Development moved its portals to the Department of Rural Development domain. Use pmayg.dord.gov.in — pmayg.gov.in also redirects there. Your data was not touched; only the web address changed.

Yes. Open pmayg.dord.gov.in → Stakeholders → IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary and enter your old registration number in the Registration Number / Beneficiary ID box. The search accepts legacy IAY-era IDs. If nothing comes up, pull the village-wise Beneficiary details for verification report and look for your name.

Use the report route: report.pmayg.dord.gov.in → H. Social Audit Reports → Beneficiary details for verification → pick State, District, Block, Panchayat and year. Your row shows the registration number, which then works in the beneficiary search.

Nothing — both search the same AwaasSoft database. IAY/PMAYG is simply the label that covers legacy (pre-2016) and current applications together.

Rs 1.20 lakh in plain areas and Rs 1.30 lakh in North-Eastern and hill states, paid in instalments directly to the beneficiary bank account as construction advances. The Cabinet kept these rates unchanged in the August 2024 extension. PMAY-G is a direct subsidy — no bank loan is involved.

No. Apply through PMAY-G instead: get your household recorded in the Awaas+ 2024 survey via your Gram Panchayat, or through the AwaasPlus self-survey app when the survey window is open.

First check with your bank branch using the FTO date shown on the portal — payments sometimes land in an inoperative or Aadhaar-mismatched account. If the bank shows no credit, file an RTI to the Block PIO asking for the FTO number, date, bank account credited and UTR of the transfer. That paper trail either locates your money or fixes responsibility.

No. PMAY-G is rural only. Urban applicants come under PMAY-Urban 2.0 at pmay-urban.gov.in, which is a separate scheme with different eligibility, different components and its own database.

The AwaasSoft beneficiary search page on pmayg.dord.gov.in does not have a dedicated Aadhaar search field, but you can cross-reference your details through the AwaasPlus Family Member Details or SECC Family Member Details lookups linked from the search page. Alternatively, check your DBT credit history on the PFMS portal or through your bank's Aadhaar-linked account statement. See PMAY Status Check with Aadhaar for a step-by-step guide.

The FTO (Fund Transfer Order) number is the unique reference assigned when the government initiates a Direct Benefit Transfer to your bank account. It appears in the instalment column of your beneficiary record on pmayg.dord.gov.in. The FTO number is critical if you need to trace a missing payment — your bank and the Block office can use it to track the transaction through PFMS.

Check your household's inclusion in the Awaas+ survey on pmayg.dord.gov.in (Stakeholders → AwaasPlus Beneficiary Details). If your household is recorded in Awaas+ and meets the deprivation criteria, you are in the ranked waitlist for sanction. If you are not in Awaas+, you need to get your household surveyed first — see the “Awaas+ 2024 survey” section above.

Yes. The portal and reports are available in Hindi. For a full Hindi-language guide, see PMAY स्थिति जांच (हिंदी).

You will need: Aadhaar card, bank passbook (DBT-linked account), ration card (for household identification), and any previous sanction order or acknowledgement if you have one. For the full document checklist, see PMAY Documents Required.

Use the Ministry of Rural Development grievance portal (CPGRAMS) at pgportal.gov.in to file a complaint under the Rural Development → PMAY-Gramin category. If that does not resolve your issue, escalate through the RTI route described in this guide. See also PMAY Subsidy Stuck — Full RTI Guide.

“Reverted” means your record was sent back from the Block office to the Gram Panchayat for correction — typically due to a data entry error, a missing geo-tag photo, or a mismatch between your AwaasSoft record and bank details. The record is not deleted; it is on hold. Contact your Gram Panchayat or BDO to find out the specific reason and get it corrected. If no action is taken, file an RTI asking for the reasons for the Reverted status and the corrective steps required.
