Previously called “Housing for All”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in 2015 to provide a place to reside for millions of urban poor. The Government has already identified over 2,508 cities and towns across 26 states in the country with an aim to build over 2 million houses.

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) can be applied by two categories

1. MIG, LIG and EWS (Other 3 Components) – The economically weaker sections like MIG, LIG and EWS are considered as beneficiaries under the Housing for All by 2022.

• Middle Income Group (MIG) – annual income between Rs. 6 lakh and Rs. 18 lakh.
• Lower Income Group (LIG) – annual income is between Rs.3 lakh and Rs.6 lakh.
• Economically Weaker Section (EWS) – annual income stands at Rs. 3 lakh.

2. Slum Dwellers – Slum areas are poorly built residences where 60 to 70 households or approximately 300 people stay.
