Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G) is the central government scheme that gives rural families without a proper house ₹1.20 lakh (plain areas) or ₹1.30 lakh (North-Eastern and hill states) to build a pucca house. In August 2024 the Cabinet extended it for FY 2024–25 to 2028–29 to build 2 crore more houses, taking the total target to 4.95 crore by March 2029. Families are picked from official lists, not by an open online form, and you can check your name on pmayg.nic.in. This guide covers eligibility, assistance, the Awaas+ 2024 survey, how to check the beneficiary list and how to avoid fraud.

What is PMAY Gramin?

PMAY-G replaced the Indira Awaas Yojana in 2016 with the aim of “Housing for All” in rural India. It funds houseless families and those living in kutcha or broken houses. The beneficiary builds the house, using local materials and trained masons, and can choose from designs suited to the area.

For 2024–29 the Cabinet approved a total outlay of ₹3,06,137 crore, with a central share of ₹2,05,856 crore and a state share of ₹1,00,281 crore. Houses left incomplete from the earlier phase were to be completed at the old rates. For city families, the separate scheme is PMAY-U 2.0.

Assistance under PMAY-G

Support	Plain areas	NE and hill states
Unit assistance for the house	₹1,20,000	₹1,30,000
MGNREGS unskilled wages	90 days	95 days
Toilet (SBM-G, MGNREGS or other source)	₹12,000	₹12,000
Centre : state funding	60 : 40	90 : 10

Hill states here means the North-Eastern states, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and the UTs of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Union territories without a legislature get 100% central funding. The money is paid directly into the beneficiary’s Aadhaar-linked bank account in instalments, linked to stages of construction. Some states add a top-up from their own budget, so check with your block office.

Who is eligible for PMAY Gramin?

Beneficiaries come from the SECC 2011 Permanent Wait List and the Awaas+ lists. Priority goes to houseless families and those living in houses with 0, 1 or 2 rooms with kutcha walls and a kutcha roof. Lists are checked and approved by the gram sabha, with an appeal process for disputes.

In 2024 the government relaxed the exclusion rules for the new phase. Owning a two-wheeler, a refrigerator, a landline or a motorised fishing boat no longer excludes a family. A family is still excluded, as reported, if it has any of the following:

A pucca house
A motorised three- or four-wheeler or mechanised agricultural equipment
A Kisan Credit Card with a limit of ₹50,000 or more
Any member earning more than ₹15,000 a month
A member in government service
A registered non-agricultural enterprise
A member paying income tax or professional tax
2.5 acres or more of irrigated land, or 5 acres or more of unirrigated land

At least 60% of the national target is set aside for SC/ST families. Landless families also get priority, and states are asked to include persons with disabilities where possible.

Awaas+ 2024 survey: how new families are added

There is no general online application for PMAY-G. To add families left out of earlier lists, the ministry uses the Awaas+ 2024 mobile app. It supports:

Assisted surveys by pre-registered surveyors at the panchayat level
A self-survey option for eligible households
Aadhaar-based e-KYC with face authentication
Geo-tagged, time-stamped photos of the present house and the site for the new house
Offline use where the network is weak

Survey windows are set state by state. Ask your gram panchayat secretary, the block development office or the PMAY-G cell in your district whether the survey is open and how to be included.

How to check your name in the PMAY-G list

Go to pmayg.nic.in and open AwaasSoft, then Report.
Under Social Audit Reports, click Beneficiary details.
Select the year, scheme (Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin), state, district, block and gram panchayat.
Enter the captcha and submit. The list shows name, registration number, sanction details, instalments paid and house status.

If you have a registration number, use Search IAY/PMAY-G Beneficiary Details under the commonly used services on pmayg.nic.in. The same page has the Panchayat-wise Permanent Wait List, Installment Details and the FTO Tracking System to see whether a payment has been sent. Menu names can change; if a link moves, look under Reports.

Documents usually needed

Aadhaar card and consent to use Aadhaar
Bank account details (Aadhaar-linked)
MGNREGA job card, if you have one, for the wage support
Mobile number

Your state may ask for land papers or other proof. Check your plot’s record on your state land portal, such as UP Bhulekh, Bihar Bhumi or MP Bhulekh.

Beware of PMAY-G frauds

There is no fee to be included in the list or to get an instalment.
Anyone asking for money to add your name or release funds is not part of the scheme. Report it to the block office.
Use only pmayg.nic.in and the official Awaas+ 2024 app; ignore look-alike websites and apps.
Never share OTPs or bank PINs. Instalments come only to your own account.
Attend the gram sabha and the yearly social audit, where the list and payments are read out.
