3 - EWS is defined as a household/family having an annual income of up to Rs 3 lakhs.
4 - LIG is defined as a household/family having an annual income of between Rs 2 lakhs to Rs 6 lakhs
5 - Interest subsidy on the housing loan is calculated at applicable rates for PMAY EWS/LIG/MIG-I/MIG-II Schemes respectively for a tenure of 20 years or the tenure of the loan, whichever is lower. The Government of India retains the supreme right of granting/rejecting the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana
subsidy, and the bank will not be held liable for the decision taken by the government.
A beneficiary family that does not have any pucca house in any part of India is eligible for a subsidy through PMAY, as per the income criteria defined for the family.
The beneficiary family as defined under PMAY will comprise of the husband-wife and their unmarried children. An adult earning member (irrespective of marital status) can be treated as a separate family/household.
Women ownership or co-ownership is mandatory for EWS and LIG only. However, this condition is not mandatory for self-construction / extension. Women ownership is not mandatory for MIG-I and MIG-II.
Once the subsidy amount is received from the NHB, it is credited to the borrower’s home-loan account as a part payment, and the EMI is proportionately reduced.
