 +
 +**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 **[[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|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.

 +
 +===== Why IAY queries land here =====
 +
 +  * **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.
 +
 +===== The portal address changed — bookmark the new one =====
 +
 +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:
 +
 +| Old address (retired)     | Current address (working)                                            |
 +| iay.nic.in                | [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]]                      |
 +| pmayg.nic.in              | [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]]                      |
 +| awaassoft.nic.in          | awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in (the beneficiary search sub-site)        |
 +| rhreporting.nic.in        | [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in]] (all public reports) |
 +
 +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.
 +
 +===== How to check IAY/PMAYG beneficiary status =====
 +
 +==== Step 1 — Open the unified portal ====
 +
 +  - Go to [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]].
 +  - Click **Stakeholders** in the top menu.
 +  - Click **IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary**. This opens the search page at awaassoft.pmayg.dord.gov.in.
 +
 +==== Step 2 — Search by Registration Number or Beneficiary ID ====
 +
 +The current search page takes one field: **Registration Number / Beneficiary ID**.
 +
 +  - 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).
 +  - 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.
 +
 +==== Step 3 — No number? Search by name through the public report ====
 +
 +If you have lost your registration number, use the village-wise beneficiary report instead:
 +
 +  - Open [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx]].
 +  - Scroll to **H. Social Audit Reports**.
 +  - Click **Beneficiary details for verification**.
 +  - Select your State, District, Block, Gram Panchayat and scheme year.
 +  - 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.
 +
 +==== Step 4 — Read your record ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +===== How to check IAY/PMAYG beneficiary status by registration number =====
 +
 +This is the most reliable single-field lookup. Here is a detailed walkthrough:
 +
 +  - **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.
 +  - **Open the beneficiary search.** Go to [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]] → **Stakeholders** → **IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary**.
 +  - **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.
 +  - **Click Submit.** If your record exists, you will see the beneficiary card with name, address, sanction details, instalment status and geo-tag photos.
 +  - **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; (c) the record was deactivated and you need to check the **village-wise beneficiary report** (see the next section) or file an RTI.
 +
 +<WRAP center round tip 90%>
 +**Pro tip.** Take a screenshot or photo of the result page. If you later file an RTI or first appeal, you will need to reference the exact status, FTO numbers and instalment dates shown on screen. See **[[:rti-for-pmay-status|RTI for PMAY status]]** and **[[:rti-for-pmay-installment|RTI for PMAY instalment delay]]** for ready-to-use letter templates.

 +
 +===== IAY vs PMAY-G: what is the difference and which one should I check? =====
 +
 +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:
 +
 +| Question | IAY (Indira Awas Yojana) | PMAY-G (PM Awaas Yojana – Gramin) |
 +| **Years active** | 1985 – March 2016 | April 2016 – present (extended to 2028-29) |
 +| **Eligibility basis** | BPL list | SECC 2011 deprivation criteria + Awaas+ survey |
 +| **Assistance in plain areas** | Rs 70,000 | Rs 1,20,000 |
 +| **Assistance in hilly / NE states** | Rs 75,000 | Rs 1,30,000 |
 +| **Minimum house size** | 20 sq m | 25 sq m (with hygienic cooking space) |
 +| **Verification** | Manual inspection | Geo-tagged photos at each stage + AwaasSoft digital record |
 +| **Payment mode** | Voucher / order | Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) via PFMS and FTO |
 +| **Where to check status** | Migrated to pmayg.dord.gov.in | pmayg.dord.gov.in |
 +
 +**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 **[[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|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|PMAY 2026 Complete Guide]]** and **[[:apply-pmay-urban-gramin-2026|How to Apply: PMAY Urban vs Gramin]]**.
 +
 +===== How to download PMAY-G beneficiary list village-wise =====
 +
 +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:
 +
 +  - **Step 1:** Open the public reports portal at **[[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx]]**.
 +  - **Step 2:** Scroll down to **H. Social Audit Reports**.
 +  - **Step 3:** Click **Beneficiary details for verification**.
 +  - **Step 4:** Select your **State → District → Block → Gram Panchayat → Scheme Year** from the dropdowns.
 +  - **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.
 +  - **Step 6:** Each row shows the beneficiary name, father/husband name, registration number, sanction date, instalment status and current construction stage.
 +  - **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-2026|pmayg.nic.in Beneficiary List]]** and **[[:awaassoft-beneficiary-list-2026|AwaasSoft Beneficiary Details]]**.
 +
 +<WRAP center round info 90%>
 +**Why this matters.** Under Section 4(2) of the RTI Act, 2005, beneficiary lists of pro-poor schemes are supposed to be //suo moto// disclosed by every public authority. The Social Audit Reports section on the PMAY-G portal is the digital implementation of that requirement. If your Panchayat's list is missing or incomplete on the portal, that itself is grounds for an RTI application — see **[[:how-to-file-rti-gram-panchayat-panchayati-raj-guide|How to File RTI at a Gram Panchayat]]**.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== IAY/PMAYG beneficiary report — village-wise list =====
 +
 +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):
 +
 +  - Open [[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx]].
 +  - Under **H. Social Audit Reports**, click **Beneficiary details for verification**.
 +  - Select State → District → Block → Panchayat → Year.
 +  - The list covers both legacy IAY and current PMAY-G records — they live in one unified table.
 +
 +===== IAY/PMAYG beneficiary gramin — rural only =====
 +
 +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 [[https://pmay-urban.gov.in|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-status-2026|PMAY-Urban 2.0 Status Check]]** and **[[:pmay-urban-2-name-not-in-list-rejection-complaint-rti|Name Not in PMAY-Urban List — Complaint & RTI]]**.
 +
 +===== PMAY-G instalment tracking and FTO status =====
 +
 +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:**
 +
 +| Instalment | Stage | Typical amount (plain areas) | Trigger |
 +| **1st instalment** | Foundation | Rs 30,000 – 40,000 | Sanction order issued + first geo-tag photo |
 +| **2nd instalment** | Lintel level | Rs 30,000 – 40,000 | Construction at lintel level + second geo-tag photo |
 +| **3rd instalment** | Roof casting | Rs 30,000 – 40,000 | Roof slab cast + third geo-tag photo |
 +| **4th instalment** | Completion | Rs 10,000 – 20,000 | House complete + final geo-tag + inspection |
 +
 +**How to check FTO status:**
 +
 +  - **On the portal:** Open **[[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]]** → **Stakeholders** → **IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary** → enter your registration number. The instalment column shows each FTO number, date and amount credited.
 +  - **Through PFMS:** FTOs flow through **[[https://pfms.nic.in|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).
 +  - **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.
 +
 +<WRAP center round important 90%>
 +**FTO rejected?** The most common reason is an **Aadhaar-bank linking mismatch** — the name or DOB on your Aadhaar does not match your bank's KYC records. Fix this at your bank branch first, then ask the Block office to regenerate the FTO. If the Block does not act, see the **[[:pmay-status-stuck-subsidy-delayed-rti-2026|Subsidy Stuck / Delayed — RTI Guide]]** or file using our **[[:rti-for-pmay-installment|RTI for PMAY instalment delay]]** template.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== PMAY-G geo-tag verification process =====
 +
 +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:**
 +
 +  - 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**.
 +  - They take geo-tagged photos showing the GPS coordinates overlaid on the image.
 +  - The photos upload to the AwaasSoft server, where they are linked to your registration number.
 +  - The Block office verifies the photos before approving the next instalment release.
 +
 +**How to check your geo-tag photos:**
 +
 +  - Search your registration number on **[[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]]** → **IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary**.
 +  - The beneficiary record page shows a **Physical Progress** or **Geo-tag Photos** section with thumbnails of each stage's photo.
 +  - 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:
 +
 +  - First, make a written request to the **BDO (Block Development Officer)** asking for a geo-tagging visit, citing your registration number and sanction date.
 +  - 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."
 +  - Use the **[[:ai-to-draft-your-rti|AI RTI Drafter]]** or the **[[:how-to-file-rti-india|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 **[[https://report.pmayg.dord.gov.in/netiay/newreport.aspx|PMAY-G reporting portal]]**.
 +
 +===== What to do if your PMAY-G instalment is delayed =====
 +
 +Instalment delays are the single most common grievance in PMAY-G. Here is a step-by-step escalation ladder:
 +
 +  - **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//.
 +  - **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.
 +  - **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.
 +  - **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-installment|RTI for PMAY instalment delay]]** letter.
 +  - **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|RTI First Appeal Guide]]** and **[[:rti-first-appeal-second-appeal-guide|First & Second Appeal Complete Guide]]**.
 +
 +<WRAP center round box 95%>
 +**Real-world pattern.** In the majority of delayed-instalment cases, the root cause is one of: (a) missing geo-tag photo at the relevant stage; (b) Aadhaar-bank linking mismatch causing FTO rejection; (c) record flagged as //Reverted// due to an error in sanction data. All three are fixable — but only the RTI route forces the Block office to put the reason in writing. For your state-specific guide, see: **[[:pmay-status-bihar|Bihar]]**, **[[:pmay-status-uttar-pradesh|UP]]**, **[[:pmay-status-maharashtra|Maharashtra]]**, **[[:pmay-status-rajasthan|Rajasthan]]**, **[[:pmay-status-madhya-pradesh|MP]]**, **[[:pmay-status-karnataka|Karnataka]]**, **[[:pmay-status-tamil-nadu|Tamil Nadu]]**, **[[:pmay-status-gujarat|Gujarat]]**.

 +
 +===== PMAY-G permanent wait list check =====
 +
 +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:
 +
 +  - **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.
 +  - **Check your Awaas+ survey status:** Go to **[[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|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.
 +  - **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.
 +  - **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-gram-panchayat-panchayati-raj-guide|How to File RTI at Gram Panchayat]]**.
 +
 +<WRAP center round info 90%>
 +**SECC vs Awaas+.** The original PMAY-G waitlist came from the **SECC 2011** (Socio-Economic and Caste Census). Since 2018, the **Awaas+ survey** has been the primary source for updating and adding eligible households. If your family was eligible under SECC 2011 but was missed, the Awaas+ survey is the corrective mechanism. Check your SECC status through the **[[https://secc.gov.in|SECC portal]]**.

 +===== PMAY-G extended to 2028-29 — two crore more houses =====
 +
 +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 ([[https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2043921|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.
 +
 +===== Awaas+ 2024 survey — how new names get added =====
 +
 +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 [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|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.
 +
 +===== IAY application stuck? Escalate with RTI =====
 +
 +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:
 +
 +  - Visit your **Block Development Officer (BDO)** with a copy of your IAY sanction order and ask for the current AwaasSoft status in writing.
 +  - If the household was missed in the SECC/Awaas+ lists, register in the **Awaas+ survey** (above) so you enter the current permanent waitlist.
 +  - 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:
 +
 +<code>
 +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]
 +</code>
 +
 +Draft it in two minutes with the free [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|AI RTI Drafter]], track the 30-day clock with the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/timeline-calculator-app.html|Timeline Tracker]], and if the PIO stays silent, build your appeal with the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/first-appeal-app.html|First Appeal Builder]] — silence beyond 30 days is a deemed refusal you can appeal under Section 19(1).
 +
 +<WRAP center round box 95%>
 +**Example.** Sunita Devi of a village in Gaya district, Bihar had a 2014 IAY sanction but never received her second instalment. In 2026 her son could not find pmayg.nic.in at all — the address had been retired. On pmayg.dord.gov.in the old IAY registration number pulled up the record, flagged //Reverted//. An RTI to the Block PIO citing the FTO details forced a written reply within the 30-day limit of Section 7(1): the reversal was for a missing geo-tag photo, not ineligibility. With the house photographed and the record re-verified, her case moved back into the payment queue. Names changed; the sequence is exactly what the portal plus one RTI can do.

 +
 +===== How to file RTI for PMAY-G beneficiary status =====
 +
 +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):**
 +  - For PMAY-G, the first appellate authority is typically the **BDO (Block Development Officer)** or the **District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) Director**.
 +  - For state-level queries, the PIO is in the **State Department of Rural Development**.
 +  - Check the complete RTI fee and address for your state in **[[:rti-fees-by-state|RTI Fees by State]]**.
 +
 +**Step 2 — Draft your RTI application:**
 +  - Use plain language. Number your questions. Ask for specific documents (FTO numbers, geo-tag reports, sanction orders).
 +  - Use the **[[:ai-to-draft-your-rti|AI RTI Drafter tool]]** or the **[[:how-to-file-rti-india|How to File RTI in India]]** guide.
 +  - For PMAY-G specifically, see **[[:rti-for-pmay-status|RTI for PMAY Status]]** and **[[:rti-pmay-application-stuck|RTI for PMAY Application Stuck]]**.
 +
 +**Step 3 — Pay the fee and submit:**
 +  - RTI fee is Rs 10 for most states (Rs 20 in some). BPL cardholders are exempt.
 +  - Submit by **speed post with acknowledgment** (keep the receipt) or **online** through the central **[[https://rtionline.gov.in|rtionline.gov.in]]** portal if your state supports it.
 +  - See **[[:rti-act-2005-complete-guide|RTI Act 2005 Complete Guide]]** for legal provisions.
 +
 +**Step 4 — Track the 30-day deadline:**
 +  - The PIO must reply within **30 days** (Section 7(1)). Use the **[[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/timeline-calculator-app.html|Timeline Tracker]]** to count down.
 +
 +**Step 5 — File First Appeal if no reply:**
 +  - If 30 days pass with no reply, file a **First Appeal under Section 19(1)** within 30 days of the deemed refusal.
 +  - Use the **[[:rti-first-appeal-guide|First Appeal Guide]]** or the **[[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/first-appeal-app.html|First Appeal Builder tool]]**.
 +  - If the First Appellate Authority also fails, escalate to the **State Information Commission** as a Second Appeal under Section 19(3).
 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== Is IAY still running in 2026? ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +==== Why does pmayg.nic.in or iay.nic.in not open any more? ====
 +
 +The Ministry of Rural Development moved its portals to the Department of Rural Development domain. Use [[https://pmayg.dord.gov.in|pmayg.dord.gov.in]] — pmayg.gov.in also redirects there. Your data was not touched; only the web address changed.
 +
 +==== I have an IAY sanction letter from before 2016. Can I still find my record? ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +==== How do I check the status by name without any number? ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +==== What is the difference between iay/pmayg beneficiary and pmayg beneficiary? ====
 +
 +Nothing — both search the same AwaasSoft database. IAY/PMAYG is simply the label that covers legacy (pre-2016) and current applications together.
 +
 +==== How much money does PMAY-G give in 2026? ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +==== Can I apply for IAY today? ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +==== My status shows an instalment released but my account got nothing. What do I do? ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +==== Is PMAY-G the same as the urban PMAY? ====
 +
 +No. PMAY-G is rural only. Urban applicants come under PMAY-Urban 2.0 at [[https://pmay-urban.gov.in|pmay-urban.gov.in]], which is a separate scheme with different eligibility, different components and its own database.
 +
 +==== How can I check PMAY-G status using my Aadhaar number? ====
 +
 +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 **[[https://pfms.nic.in|PFMS portal]]** or through your bank's Aadhaar-linked account statement. See **[[:pmay-status-check-with-aadhar|PMAY Status Check with Aadhaar]]** for a step-by-step guide.
 +
 +==== What is the PMAY-G FTO number and where do I find it? ====
 +
 +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 **[[https://pfms.nic.in|PFMS]]**.
 +
 +==== How do I know if I am on the PMAY-G permanent wait list? ====
 +
 +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.
 +
 +==== Can I check PMAY-G status in Hindi? ====
 +
 +Yes. The portal and reports are available in Hindi. For a full Hindi-language guide, see **[[:pmay-status-hindi|PMAY स्थिति जांच (हिंदी)]]**.
 +
 +==== What documents do I need to check or apply for PMAY-G? ====
 +
 +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|PMAY Documents Required]]**.
 +
 +==== Where can I complain about a PMAY-G grievance online? ====
 +
 +Use the **Ministry of Rural Development grievance portal** (CPGRAMS) at **[[https://pgportal.gov.in|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-status-stuck-subsidy-delayed-rti-2026|PMAY Subsidy Stuck — Full RTI Guide]]**.
 +
 +==== What happens if my PMAY-G record shows "Reverted"? ====
 +
 +"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.
