How to Apply For Affordable Housing In Gurgaon
How can you apply for the affordable housing scheme — PMAY? Read below for the procedure!
- ELIGIBILITY AND SUBSIDY UNDER CLSS OF PMAY
There are 4 categories of people who can avail benefits under CLSS (credit-linked Subsidy Scheme) of the PMAY (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana): People in the EWS category (annual household income up to Rs 3 lakh), LIG category (annual household income up to Rs 6 lakh), MIG-I category (annual household income up to Rs 12), and the MIG-II category (annual household income up to Rs 18 lakh).
Beneficiaries of the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Low-income Group (LIG) seeking house loans from banks, housing finance companies (HFCs), and other such institutions will be eligible for an interest subsidy at the rate of 6.5%, or during the tenure of the loan, whichever is lower.
Interest subsidy will be credited to the loan account of the beneficiaries through the lending institutions resulting in reduced effective housing loan and EMIs. “The finance minister’s announcement of a dedicated Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) in the National Housing Bank (NHB), funded from priority sector lending shortfall and fully serviced bonds, authorized by the government of India, is a welcome decision. This will help in achieving the vision of ‘Housing for all by 2022’,” Niranjan Hiranandani, president of Naredco, said. - BENEFITS UNDER CLSS
