Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Deadline Extended Till December: Details On Eligibility – News18

Last Updated:May 20, 2025, 11:08 IST

The goal of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban is to make houses more affordable.

The Government of India introduced the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in 2015, a flagship housing scheme, to provide financial support to economically disadvantaged groups so they can build their own homes. The scheme offers subsidised housing in both rural and urban regions, which aids Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and low-income households.

For both urban and rural beneficiaries, the PMAY registration deadline has been extended to December 2025. You can now conveniently check your status online from the comfort of your home if you recently applied and are awaiting word.

“The original mission period was up to 31.03.2022 which has been extended till 31.12.2025 for completion of houses sanctioned up to 31.03.2022, without changing funding pattern and implementation methodology of the scheme,” an official notice from the Government of India reads.

More than 92.61 lakh homes have been built under this programme, changing the lives of many people who previously lacked a pucca home, according to official data on the PMAY website.
