Check your Name in PM Awas Yojana List 2026 : Apply For PM Awas Yojana

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), launched in June 2015, is India’s flagship housing initiative designed to make affordable pucca homes accessible to economically weaker sections (EWS), low-income (LIG), and middle-income groups (MIG‑I & II). It operates via two main components:

• PMAY‑U: Urban housing, administered by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs.
• PMAY‑G (formerly PMAY‑R or Indira Awaas Yojana): Rural housing, under the Ministry of Rural Development

The original mission aimed to build 2 crore urban homes by March 2022, while PMAY‑G focused on rural housing, largely merging IAY efforts .

2026 Updates

• PMAY‑U Phase 2.0: Extended its completion deadline to December 31, 2026 for homes sanctioned up to March 31, 2022 ([pmay-urban.gov.in][2]).
• PMAY‑G Survey: The Awaas+ mobile survey launched January 1, 2026, aiming to cover more rural beneficiaries, with the scheme extended to 2028–29

Why Check the PMAY Beneficiary List?
