| + | ===== FAQ — 15 most-asked questions ===== {#faq} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== I am not in SECC 2011. Can I still get PMAY-G? ==== | ||
| + | Most often no — but if you were added through the **Awas+ 2018 survey app**, you are eligible under PMAY-G expansion. Several states (Maharashtra Awas Yojana, TN CMAY, Kerala LIFE, Telangana Double Bedroom) have separate post-SECC mechanisms. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== What is the maximum income to qualify for PMAY-U 2.0? ==== | ||
| + | **₹18 lakh annual household income** (MIG-2 cap, for ISS only). For BLC/AHP construction subsidy, the cap is **₹6 lakh** (LIG ceiling). **EWS** (≤ ₹3 L) gets priority allotment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can I apply both PMAY-G and PMAY-U? ==== | ||
| + | **No.** They cover different geographies. Your residence determines which one. Government records are linked across schemes via Aadhaar. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Is Aadhaar mandatory? ==== | ||
| + | **Yes** — both Gramin and Urban require Aadhaar (or Aadhaar enrolment number with proof). Without Aadhaar–bank link, DBT cannot release. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can NRIs get PMAY? ==== | ||
| + | **No** — Indian residents only. NRI status disqualifies. Aadhaar requires resident status under FEMA. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== How long does PMAY sanction take? ==== | ||
| + | **60–90 days** is the published SLA for sanction post-eligibility. Construction completion takes **12–18 months** typically. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== I got PMAY-U sanction but bank denied home loan. What now? ==== | ||
| + | For BLC/AHP, the construction subsidy is independent of bank loan. For ISS (interest subsidy), denial of bank loan kills the subsidy. Apply with another bank/NBFC; ISS works with any RBI-regulated lender. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can a working couple both apply for PMAY? ==== | ||
| + | **No** — only one PMAY per household. Joint application (in wife's name OR jointly with husband) is allowed and **encouraged** (mandatory for EWS/LIG). | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== I changed my city. Can I transfer my PMAY-U application? | ||
| + | Inter-city transfer is **not allowed**; you withdraw and re-apply. Inter-state transfer also requires fresh application. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== What if my house was completed 2 years ago but no completion certificate issued? ==== | ||
| + | File **RTI to BDO/CMO** for: (a) completion certificate status, (b) final geo-tag report, (c) inspecting officer name + date. Most stuck-completion cases resolve once final geo-tag photo is uploaded. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can I get PMAY for an extension to my existing house? ==== | ||
| + | **No** — only for new construction or upgradation of **kutcha / semi-pucca** to **pucca**. Extension of pucca house is not covered. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== How does the MGNREGA convergence work? ==== | ||
| + | PMAY-G beneficiary gets **90 person-days** of MGNREGA wages for labour on her own house (~₹22, | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== What is the difference between IAY and PMAY-G? ==== | ||
| + | **Indira Awas Yojana (IAY)** was the predecessor (1985–2016). PMAY-G replaced it on **1 April 2016** with: SECC-based eligibility (was BPL), higher subsidy (was ₹70k), geo-tagging, | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== What if my status shows " | ||
| + | Common reasons: Aadhaar mismatch, duplicate record, voluntary surrender, post-verification ineligibility. File **RTI for cancellation reason** under §4(1)(d) RTI Act — authority must give reasoned order. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== How do I report PMAY fraud (fake beneficiary)? | ||
| + | File complaint with: (a) **State Vigilance Commission**, | ||
