MUMBAI: The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is being implemented in 397 cities of the State. The funding pattern is a Central Share of 60% and state share of 40%. As per the PMAY guidelines, the Central assistance of ₹ 1.5 lakhs and State share ₹ 1.00 lakh per dwelling unit would be made available to the beneficiaries of the scheme.
However, the CAG report on the state’s finances for 2022-23 says, “the entire amount of State share was surrendered during 2019-20 due to non-release of Central share under the scheme.During 2020-21, the department had surrendered the entire provision of ₹ 699.50 crore stating that there was no release of Central share.”
It added, “however, it was seen that the central government had released a grant of Rs 633.4 crore in 2020-21. Hence the reason given by the Department for surrendering the entire provision of State share is contradictory.”
