PMAY (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana) Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) is a government initiative under the Housing for All mission that provides interest subsidy on home loans for eligible first-time home buyers in urban areas. The subsidy is calculated as the Net Present Value (NPV) of the interest subsidy over the loan tenure and is credited upfront to the borrower's loan account, reducing the outstanding principal and effectively reducing EMIs. Different income categories receive different subsidy rates and loan amount caps: EWS (Economically Weaker Section, income up to ₹3L) and LIG (Low Income Group, income up to ₹6L) receive 6.5% interest subsidy on loans up to ₹6 lakh for maximum 20 years — NPV subsidy ≈ ₹2.67 lakh; MIG-I (Middle Income Group, income ₹6-12L) receives 4% subsidy on loans up to ₹9 lakh for 20 years — NPV subsidy ≈ ₹2.35 lakh; MIG-II (income ₹12-18L) receives 3% subsidy on loans up to ₹12 lakh for 20 years — NPV subsidy ≈ ₹2.30 lakh. The subsidy is computed using a discount rate of 9% to arrive at NPV. Important: PMAY CLSS for MIG-I and MIG-II categories was valid until March 31, 2021 and has NOT been extended (as of 2024). EWS/LIG CLSS continued under PMAY-Urban phase 2. New beneficiaries under EWS/LIG must apply through empanelled Primary Lending Institutions (PLIs). The property must be in an Urban Local Body (ULB) area.
NPV Subsidy = Sum of [Annual Subsidy / (1 + discount_rate)^year] for each year | Annual Subsidy = Subsidy Rate × Outstanding Loan (reducing balance) | Effective EMI Reduction = (New Principal after subsidy credit) × EMI factor
- 1Verify eligibility: income within prescribed limits, no prior housing from government schemes, property in a notified urban area, first-time home buyer in the family.
- 2Apply through a PMAY-empanelled bank or NBFC (PLI — Primary Lending Institutions); banks verify eligibility and submit the claim on your behalf.
- 3The PLI calculates the NPV subsidy based on your loan amount, income category, and maximum eligible loan amount.
- 4The National Housing Bank (NHB) or HUDCO (Housing and Urban Development Corporation) releases the subsidy amount to the PLI.
- 5The PLI credits the subsidy to your loan account as a principal reduction — your outstanding home loan decreases by the subsidy amount.
- 6Your EMI is recalculated on the reduced principal; the effective EMI reduction is visible from the first EMI after subsidy credit.
- 7For EWS/LIG, carpet area restrictions apply: up to 30 sqm for EWS; up to 60 sqm for LIG.
Subsidy credited upfront reduces outstanding loan; EMI saving ≈ ₹2,410/month
Subsidy is NPV of 6.5% interest difference on ₹6L for 20 years at 9% discount rate = ₹2,67,280. Credited to loan account: effective loan = 15L - 2.67L = 12.33L. New EMI = 12.33L × 9%/12 × (1.0075)^240 / [(1.0075)^240 - 1] = ₹11,088. Monthly saving = ₹2,410.
MIG-I/II CLSS expired March 31, 2021 — new applications not accepted for this category
Historical reference: MIG-I subsidy = NPV of 4% on ₹9L for 20 years = ₹2.35L. Net loan = 30L - 2.35L = 27.65L. EMI at 9% on 27.65L = ₹24,875 vs unsubsidised ₹26,987 — monthly saving ₹2,112. This category has expired; shown for existing beneficiaries reviewing their subsidy.
The ₹2.67L subsidy generates ₹4.14L in total interest savings due to reduced principal compounding
The ₹2.67L principal reduction not only reduces EMI directly but also reduces the interest on the reduced principal over 20 years. Net total saving = ₹4.14L (₹2.67L principal subsidy + ₹1.47L in compounded interest savings).
₹7L income falls in MIG-I category; MIG-I CLSS expired March 2021 — currently not eligible for PMAY CLSS
Income ₹7L: EWS (up to ₹3L) and LIG (₹3L-6L) categories have income limits of up to ₹6L — this buyer at ₹7L falls in MIG-I (₹6L-12L). Since MIG-I CLSS expired on March 31, 2021 and has not been extended, this buyer is NOT currently eligible for PMAY subsidy. They should look for affordable housing under PMAY-Urban 2.0 (new homes without subsidy component) or check state-specific schemes.

PMAY for Resale Property
PMAY CLSS is available for purchase of new construction from a developer as well as resale properties (secondary market) — provided all eligibility criteria are met (first-time buyer, income limit, carpet area). For resale properties, the seller must provide clear title and the property must meet PMAY specifications.
PMAY and Co-Applicants
Multiple family members can be co-applicants to a PMAY loan. The combined household income of all co-applicants is considered for income category determination. However, the first-time buyer criterion applies to all co-applicants — if any co-applicant already owns a pucca house, the application is disqualified.
PMAY and Home Loan Balance Transfer
If you transfer a PMAY-subsidised home loan to another lender (balance transfer), the subsidy already credited to your loan account is retained and cannot be recovered by NHB/HUDCO. However, you cannot claim a fresh PMAY subsidy on the balance-transferred loan. The new lender's interest rate applies on the remaining principal after the transferred balance.
| Category | Income Limit | Subsidy Rate | Max Loan for Subsidy | NPV Subsidy | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EWS | Up to ₹3L | 6.5% | ₹6 lakh | ₹2,67,280 | Active (PMAY Urban 2.0) |
| LIG | ₹3L-₹6L | 6.5% | ₹6 lakh | ₹2,67,280 | Active (PMAY Urban 2.0) |
| MIG-I | ₹6L-₹12L | 4% | ₹9 lakh | ₹2,35,068 | EXPIRED (March 2021) |
| MIG-II | ₹12L-₹18L | 3% | ₹12 lakh | ₹2,30,156 | EXPIRED (March 2021) |
Is PMAY CLSS still available in 2024?
PMAY CLSS for MIG-I and MIG-II categories expired on March 31, 2021. PMAY Urban for EWS/LIG continues under PMAY-Urban Phase 2 and the PM Awas Yojana 2.0 announced in Budget 2024. For EWS/LIG: subsidy of 6.5% on loans up to ₹6L continues. For MIG categories: no CLSS subsidy available currently — government has launched new affordable housing support under Budget 2024 with a different structure.
How is the PMAY subsidy calculated?
The subsidy is the Net Present Value (NPV) of the interest subsidy — computed as the present value of the subsidy amount paid over the loan tenure, discounted at 9% per annum. For EWS/LIG at 6.5% subsidy on ₹6L for 20 years: NPV ≈ ₹2,67,280. This amount is credited to the loan account as a principal reduction. The actual monthly interest saving is on the reduced principal.
Who qualifies for PMAY CLSS EWS/LIG?
EWS: Annual household income up to ₹3 lakh; LIG: annual household income ₹3L to ₹6L. Must be first-time home buyers (neither the applicant nor any family member should own a pucca house anywhere in India). Property must be in a statutory city/town/urban agglomeration. Carpet area: EWS up to 30 sqm; LIG up to 60 sqm. Woman must be the owner or co-owner (mandatory for EWS/LIG).
What is the carpet area limit for PMAY?
EWS category: maximum carpet area 30 square metres (322 sq ft). LIG category: maximum carpet area 60 square metres (645 sq ft). MIG-I (expired): up to 160 sqm. MIG-II (expired): up to 200 sqm. Built-up area (including walls, balcony) is larger than carpet area — PMAY specifies carpet area, not built-up area. Properties exceeding these limits do not qualify for PMAY.
Does the woman have to be the primary owner for PMAY EWS/LIG?
Yes, for EWS and LIG categories: it is mandatory that the property be owned by a female member of the household, or jointly owned with a male member. If the applicant is male, a female family member (wife, daughter, mother) must be a co-owner. This is a gender-empowerment provision of PMAY.
How long does PMAY subsidy take to be credited?
After submission of the PMAY claim by the PLI (bank/NBFC) to NHB or HUDCO, the subsidy is typically released within 30-60 days. The bank then credits it to the borrower's loan account. The total process from loan disbursement to subsidy credit can take 2-4 months. During this period, the borrower pays EMI on the full loan amount; after subsidy credit, EMI is recalculated on the reduced principal.
Is the PMAY subsidy taxable?
No. The PMAY subsidy amount received is not taxable income. It is treated as a capital benefit on the home loan and reduces the cost of the property (which affects capital gains calculation if the property is sold later — the indexed cost of acquisition includes the actual amount paid by the buyer, not the subsidised amount).
What is PMAY-Urban 2.0 announced in Budget 2024?
Budget 2024 announced PM Awas Yojana Urban 2.0 targeting 1 crore urban households, with a central assistance of ₹2.5 lakh per house for slum redevelopment, affordable rental housing, and EWS/LIG new construction. The scheme is different from the CLSS in structure — assistance is for construction/purchase, not interest subsidy. Specific eligibility and subsidy structures were being finalized post-Budget 2024.
Порада профі
EWS and LIG borrowers should apply for PMAY CLSS through the bank at the time of loan application — not after disbursement. The earlier the claim is submitted, the sooner the subsidy is credited and the quicker the EMI reduces. The ₹2.67 lakh subsidy is one of the most substantial government benefits available to first-time home buyers in India — don't miss it.
Чи знаєте ви?
PMAY Urban has sanctioned over 1.18 crore houses since 2015, with over 65 lakh completed and handed over (as of 2024). Under the CLSS component, over 27 lakh beneficiaries have received subsidies totalling over ₹75,000 crore, with an average subsidy of approximately ₹2.5-2.7 lakh per beneficiary. The scheme has provided housing access to millions of first-time home buyers who would otherwise have been priced out of the formal housing market.
