Everyone dreams\nof owning a house of their own but fulfilling it is a financially tough\ndecision. This is truer for a country like India where a large chunk of the\npopulation is still not able to afford basic amenities, let alone a roof over their\nhead. This was one of the major reasons that prompted the Government of India\nto launch the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana housing initiative in 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is PMAY?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Government of India introduced the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY<\/a>) initiative to provide affordable housing for all by 31 March 2022. This initiative has two parts – Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY-U) for urban areas and Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (Gramin) (PMAY-G) for rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A housing scheme\nthat serves the population comprising of different social-economic sections is\nnot an easy feat. The scheme targets three major groups \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n The four primary\ncomponents of this initiative are – <\/p>\n\n\n\n PMAY\u2019s\nEffect On the Housing Sector <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PMAY has\nbeen in existence for some time now, and has benefited a large number of\ncitizens. Even though the initial plan to provide housing for all sections\nhasn\u2019t been achieved yet, the initiative has certainly taken the right course\nof action. The government ensures that the homes designed under the scheme are not\nonly well constructed but also have provisions such as a working toilet, LPG\ngas connection, electricity connection, access to fresh drinking water, etc. To\nensure transparency, the government also has set up an online platform where you\ncan see the construction of the homes with complete details of beneficiaries\nand the payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The four components of the PMAY take into consideration different areas and needs. The Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme offers subsidies on home loan interest rates<\/a> to all three groups. Under CLSS, home loans have a maximum tenure of 20 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under this scheme, EWS, LIG, and MIG sections can opt for home loans for either the construction of a new house or the enhancement of an already existing property. In the EWS category, preference is given to manual scavengers, women (especially widows), individuals belonging to scheduled castes or scheduled tribes or other backward classes, minorities, individuals with disabilities and transgenders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Affordable Housing Loans at Tata Capital<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At Tata Capital, we believe in this vision of the government that every individual in the country, irrespective of their financial background, deserves to turn their dream of owning their own house into reality.
