But if you still don’t have a pucca home in India, you can now fulfil your wish today.
All that you have to do is – apply for a home loan and enjoy an interest subsidy under PMAY.
PMAY stands for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. It was launched by PM Narendra Modi in 2015 to help the poor population of India to have their own home.
But to do that, you will need to meet the PMAY eligibility criteria.
