The Central Assistance under PMAY-G is released to the State on the basis of balance targets, liabilities and unspent balance available.

(c) & (d) Under PMAY-G, out of the total target of 2.95 crore houses, a target of 2.70 crore houses has already been allocated to the States/UTs, out of which 2.43 crore houses have been sanctioned, first installment of funds has been released to 2.33 crore beneficiaries and 1.88 crore houses have been completed as on 14.07.2022. During the period of Covid-19 pandemic induced nation-wide lockdown, all construction activities including construction of houses under PMAY-G were also affected which retarded the pace of construction of PMAY-G houses. Besides, the delays are also due to delay in release of Central & State Share from State Treasury to State Nodal Account of PMAY-G, cases of unwillingness of beneficiaries, migration, disputed succession of deceased beneficiaries, delay in allotment of land to landless beneficiaries by the States/UTs, at times General/Assembly/Panchayat elections, and unavailability of building materials. Therefore, the timeline for completion of PMAY-G has also been extended from March, 2022 to March, 2024. The Ministry is taking the following initiatives to ensure timely completion of the houses under PMAY-G:

i. Regular review of progress at the level of Ministry.

ii. Launch of PMAY-G Dashboard for monitoring and supervision of the scheme.

iii. Timely allocation of targets to the States/UTs and release of adequate funds.

iv. Regular follow ups with the State to ensure release of central and state share of funds and provision of land to landless beneficiaries in rural areas.

v. Awards to the best performing States/UTs, Districts based on performance index dashboard, thereby creating healthy competition and motivation among the States/UTs for achieving the set targets.
