How to avail PMAY subsidy

Here, we will learn more about how the PMAY scheme benefits us in availing of home loan subsidies and how we can apply for it to enjoy the advantages.

PMAY subsidy

In a progressing country like India, the prices of properties and land sites are constantly on the rise. As a result, people are becoming less able to afford the purchase of a new home or piece of land to build their home on. The capacity of individuals to purchase homes is especially reduced in metropolitan cities.

Therefore, to deal with this issue of affordability and to support and endorse reasonably priced housing for the people, the government of India devised a scheme known as the PMAY scheme with the sole intention of improving the housing situation and building affordable homes for the people.

PMAY is an abbreviation of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. It is a credit-linked subsidy scheme whose primary objective is to make the concept of owning a home more affordable especially to the people who belong to the economically weaker sections of society.
