PM Awas Yojana Update: How to Check If You Got a House or Not

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a flagship housing initiative by the Government of India, aimed at providing affordable housing to the urban and rural poor. With the 2025-26 fiscal year underway, many applicants are eager to know if they have been allotted a house under this scheme. Here's how you can check your PMAY status and beneficiary details.

Understanding PMAY: Urban vs. Rural

PMAY operates in two distinct segments:

• PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U): Targets urban poor populations, including slum dwellers and low-income groups in cities.
• PMAY-Gramin (PMAY-G): Focuses on providing housing to rural poor households, with a significant emphasis on Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities.

The selection process for both involves a multi-step verification, including surveys like SECC-2011, Awas Plus, and Gram Sabha validation.
