Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) – Made Simple
Last Updated on, December 5th, 2022
With the introduction of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Scheme last year, a lot has been written about it. All real estate players are advertising it. All bankers are offering it. But for a first time home buyer all of it might seem a bit too overwhelming. At Marathon, we consider us, your partner in the home buying process. We’ve tried to explain the whole process as simply as possible. This will give you a clear idea of what is PMAY and how you can go about to apply for the same.
What is PMAY?
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a government scheme to help promote “Housing for all by 2022”. It aims to assist first time home buyers and encourage women to become home owners by providing an interest subsidy on home loans. PMAY brings into fold a Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) for home loans in the urban property market.
Who is eligible under PMAY?
The scheme is aimed to provide primary housing for all. The basic eligibility rules, in order to avail PMAY benefits are as follows.
- The applicant’s family* income should not be above Rs.18 lakh per annum
- The maximum RERA carpet area eligible for the subsidy is 200 sqm
- The applicant’s family must not own a house in any part of the country.
- In the case of a married couple, either a single or a joint ownership deal is allowed, and both options will receive just one subsidy.
- The applicant’s family must not have availed the benefit of any housing-related schemes set up by the Government of India.
How does PMAY work?
There are 4 broad categories of the CLSS scheme under PMAY. The categories, and the loan eligibility & subsidy across these categories have been explained in the table below**.
T & C * Deadline of the scheme for EWS – LIG is March 2022 And MIG 1 – MIG2 is March 2021
Rest is simple. Whoever is availing the PMAY subsidy under a particular category, gets the subsidy amount directly deducted from the overall loan amount. This reduces the overall EMI burden. The savings in terms of EMI has been highlighted in the table below.
How to avail the PMAY subsidy?
PMAY linked loans can be availed from any primary lending institutions (PLI) such as scheduled commercial banks, housing finance companies, cooperative banks, etc. Housing Development Corporation (HUDCO) and National Housing Bank (NHB) have been identified as the Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs) to channelize this subsidy to the lending institutions. The process has been highlighted in the flowchart below
-
Home Loan application by individual to the PLI
-
Determination of loan amount and sanction of loan subsidy based on eligibility
-
Claim submission by PLI to CNA
-
Claim approval and release of subsidy amount by CNA to PLI
-
Credit linked subsidy deposited by PLI in the beneficiary’s loan account
