No agents, no fees — just verified information straight from the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
We cover everything: the difference between PMAY-Gramin and PMAY-Urban, the exact eligibility criteria for the 2026 list, how to search by registration number or advanced filters, and how to use the AwaasApp and UMANG mobile apps for live tracking. By the end, you will know exactly how to check your status, what to do if your name is missing, and how to protect yourself from fraud.
What is PM Awas Yojana (PMAY)?
Launched in 2015, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana works toward the mission of “Housing for All”. It is divided into two wings:
- PMAY-Gramin (PMAY-G): For families living in rural areas who are homeless or living in kutcha houses.
- PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U): For Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), Low-Income Groups (LIG), and Middle-Income Groups (MIG) in cities and towns.
The scheme uses Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to send subsidies directly into the beneficiary’s bank account, ensuring complete transparency. In 2026-27, the government has allocated over ₹54,916 crore for the rural component alone, targeting 2 crore additional houses by 2028-29.
PM Awas Yojana New List 2026: What’s Inside?
The new beneficiary list for 2026 includes families approved for assistance under the latest phase. It is prepared based on:
- The SECC 2011 (Socio-Economic and Caste Census) database for rural areas.
- Verification by the Gram Sabha (village assembly) to include the most deserving households.
- Urban local body surveys for city applicants.
Each approved family’s name, registration number, sanctioned amount, and construction stage are made public. The process is fully digital and geo-tagged, reducing corruption and delays.

PMAY Gramin New List 2026: Eligibility Criteria
To find your name in the rural list, you must generally meet these conditions verified at the village level:
- The family does not own a pucca house anywhere in India.
- Belongs to a low-income or deprived category, often identified via SECC.
- Priority is given to SC/ST households, widows, persons with disabilities, landless labourers, and female-headed families.
- The name should have been cleared by the Gram Sabha and recorded in the AwaasSoft database.
Important: If your name is not in the main list, check the waiting list (if any) released by your state. You can also file an appeal with the Block Development Office.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – PM Awas Yojana 2026
Q1. How do I check the PM Awas Yojana New List 2026 without a registration number?
Use the Advanced Search on pmayg.nic.in. Select your state, district, block, and panchayat to generate the complete list for your area and look for your name manually.
Q2. What is the difference between ₹1.20 lakh and ₹2.50 lakh assistance?
The basic unit assistance is ₹1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in hilly/North-Eastern states. The figure can go up to ₹2.50 lakh when combined with MGNREGA wages, toilet construction funds, and state top-ups. The exact amount is displayed in your beneficiary dashboard.
Q3. Can a city family apply for PMAY Gramin?
No. PMAY Gramin is strictly for rural areas as per Census definition. City residents must apply under PMAY-U via the CLAP portal or at their municipal office.
Q4. Is the subsidy for a home loan given upfront or through the tenure?
The Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) under PMAY-U reduces the principal loan amount by paying the Net Present Value (NPV) of the interest subsidy. This effectively lowers your monthly EMI from the start.
Q5. Why does my status show “Geo-tagging pending”?
This means the construction photograph has not been uploaded yet. Contact your Block Development Officer or the appointed surveyor. Without geo-tagging, further installment release may be delayed.
