Automatic exclusion” criteria under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) has been revised by the government.
Families owning “two-wheelers, motorized fishing boats, refrigerators, and landline phones and earning up to Rs 15,000 per month can now avail the benefits of the rural housing scheme.
The person owning motorised three- or four-wheelers; mechanised three- or four-wheeler agricultural equipment; or a Kisan Credit Card with a credit limit of Rs 50,000 or above are in the “automatic exclusion” of PMAY-G.
Households with any member as a government employee; households with non-agricultural enterprises registered with the government; and any member of the family paying income tax are excluded from the PMAY-G.
The exclusion criteria of the PMAY-G have been revised as the government aims to construct two crore additional houses under the rural housing scheme by 2028–29.
Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana—Gramin (PMAY-G) was launched in 2016 to achieve the objective of providing “Housing to All”.
