• Day 0–10 RTI routed.
• Day 10–25 Block / UDA pulls the file; geo-tag verification often completed during this window.
• Day 30 Reply.

• Filing at state HQ instead of Block / UDA.
• Missing sanction-order number.
• Not mentioning installment stage (foundation / lintel / roof).
• Skipping the PFMS UTR question.

• AwaasSoft mobile app has built-in geo-tag; ensure photo captured at each stage.
• For bank mismatch, Post Office Payments Bank (IPPB) accounts work well with DBT.
• Block-level Coordinator often can fix mismatches on-the-spot.

Q1. How many installments in PMAY-G?
Typically 3 (40% / 40% / 20%).

Q2. Is Rs. 1.30 lakh the total assistance?
PMAY-G: Rs. 1.20-1.30 lakh (plain); Rs. 1.30-1.50 lakh (hilly/tribal/NE). PMAY-U varies by sub-scheme.

Q3. Can I shift between schemes?
PMAY-G and PMAY-U are separate; you cannot be in both simultaneously.

Q4. What about cost-escalation?
Not covered; sanction amount is fixed.

PMAY delays are largely process-traceable. Once the RTI surfaces the specific hold, resolution follows a fixed path.
