PMAY is the flagship mission by the central government launched in 2015 to address the urban housing shortage amongst economically weaker groups (EWG), lower income groups (LIG) and middle income groups(MIG). If your family income is below the range of Rs.18,00,000 per year and you or anyone in your family do not own a pucca house in any part of the country, you are eligible to avail the benefit of this scheme if you are buying a new house. Most of us are not aware of this scheme and fail to avail the benefits. Are you looking to buy a house in Hyderabad then check out the details of the scheme and eligibility for each group in urban areas below.
