Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) – Housing for All” Mission for urban areas is being implemented with effect from 17.06.2015 to provide central assistance to implementing agencies through States and UTs for providing houses to all eligible families/ beneficiaries. As a Central Sector Scheme, the existing Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) component of the Mission provides interest subsidy on home loans taken by eligible urban poor [Economically Weaker Section (EWS) / Lower Income Group (LIG)] for acquisition/construction of house.
Given the projected growth of urbanization in India and the consequent housing demands, Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation hereby introduces an interest subsidy scheme for acquisition/ construction of house (including re-purchase) to cater to the Middle Income Group (MIG) called “Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) for MIG”, which will also be implemented as a Central Sector Scheme.
