PMAY-Urban 2.0 is the second phase of the government’s city housing mission, launched in 2024 to help another one crore urban families own or rent a decent home. It runs on four tracks. If you own a plot, the Beneficiary Led Construction track gives you up to Rs 2.50 lakh to build on it. If you would rather buy, the Affordable Housing in Partnership track offers a similar subsidy on a flat built by a public or private developer.
Workers who cannot afford to buy can rent through the Affordable Rental Housing track. And if you are taking a home loan, the Interest Subsidy Scheme cuts 4 percent off the interest on your first Rs 8 lakh, which adds up to as much as Rs 1.80 lakh over the years.
Income decides which slab you fall into, from Rs 3 lakh a year up to Rs 9 lakh. You must not already own a pucca house.
