The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is an ambitious housing scheme of the Central Government initiated by PM Narendra Modi in 2015.
If you don’t have any pucca home anywhere in India, you have the required PMAY eligibility to apply.
You and your family’s annual income should also be up to Rs.18 lakh to apply. Tracking the PMAY eligibility is also easier.
Let’s check out this post!
A quick look at the PM Awas Yojana eligibility norms
You can land on the PMAY website, where there is a pre-declared PMAY status list. You can search for your name in it using your Aadhaar number on the ‘Search Beneficiary’ tab. And doing this will let you know your PMAY eligibility.
Once done, you can apply for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Maharashtra or elsewhere on the official portal. Download the form from the ‘Citizen Assessment’ tab, fill in the details asked for and attach documents proof.
Now, you can apply for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana with a lender and attach your PMAY form with it. You can always apply for a large amount above the subsidized amount of up to Rs.12 lakh. The only thing is that you won’t get subsidy benefits on an amount more than the figure. The non-subsidized home loan amount will be given at a higher rate. Post this, your housing loan application is processed, verified and checked along with the PMAY status. If everything is good to go, you will get the subsidized part of the home loan credited to your bank account. It will be available under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana scheme by the Government within 3-4 months.
Based on your income groups, you will be able to enjoy an interest subsidy of up to 6.5% to an amount of up to Rs.2.67 lakh.
This way, you can save big and start paying lower EMIs.
