State Surrendered State Share in PM Awas Yojana, CAG Report Reveals Contradictory Actions | Mumbai News – Times of India
Mumbai: 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%. According to the PMAY guidelines, the Central assistance of Rs 1.5 lakh and state share of Rs 1 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 Rs 699.5 crore stating that there was no release of Central share.” It added, “However, it was seen that the central govt 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.”tnn
