About this PMAY guide
इस पीएमएवाई गाइड के बारे में
Last reviewed: 11 November 2026
This website is an unofficial informational guide to Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, including PMAY Urban 2.0 and PMAY Gramin. Not affiliated with the Government of India, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs or the Ministry of Rural Development. It is not a Government of India website, and it is not a State or Union Territory website.
The aim is simple: to explain the published rules in plain language, to point you to the official portals when you need to apply, check a list or track an application, and to help you avoid lookalike forms that ask for money or for an Aadhaar OTP.
What this site does
- Explains who the Urban 2.0 income categories (EWS, LIG and MIG) are, and which verticals they can use, as set out in the official scheme guidelines.
- Sets out the official PMAY Gramin unit assistance of ₹1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in the notified North-Eastern and hill States and Union Territories, together with the ₹12,000 toilet convergence through Swachh Bharat Mission–Gramin.
- Walks through how to apply for PMAY Urban 2.0 on the official MIS, and how to check a PMAY Gramin name on the official rural portal.
- Offers an on-page helper that classifies an annual household income into the official Urban 2.0 categories and lists the matching verticals. The helper uses published income ceilings and assistance amounts. It does not approve an application.
What this site does not do
- It does not take applications, logins or payments.
- It does not collect Aadhaar numbers, PAN, phone numbers, bank details or OTPs.
- It does not host a status checker or a beneficiary list. Status and lists exist only on the official portals.
- It does not use government emblems, official logos or a lookalike of the official websites.
Not affiliated with the Government of India
A short notice at the top of every page, a disclaimer in the footer, and this page (together with the disclaimer) are the only places this site states that it is unofficial. The name “Awas Yojana Help” is a description of the guide, not an official title.
If you want to apply, check a list, log in or download an official document, use:
- PMAY Urban 2.0: https://pmaymis.gov.in/PMAYMIS2_2024/PmayDefault.aspx and https://pmay-urban.gov.in/

How facts are checked
Rules, amounts, dates and lists of States on this site are taken from official sources: the PMAY-U 2.0 Scheme Guidelines (September 2024), the official FAQ and Interest Subsidy pages on the MIS, Cabinet and Press Information Bureau releases, parliamentary replies, and the official PMAY-G about page. Each published figure is tied to a source. Where a State can change a detail (for example, the EWS income ceiling, with the Ministry’s concurrence), the page says so. Progress numbers are quoted with their publication date, because they change.
Facts on this site were last reviewed on 11 November 2026. If an official guideline is updated after that date, the official portal is the text that counts.
