In Nov 2016 Pradhan Mantri AawasYojana (Gramin) was launched with the target to complete one crore houses by March 31, 2019. Since some Indira AawasYojana (IAY) houses were still incomplete, Department of Rural Development was given a target of 1.02 crore houses, which included completion of two lakh incomplete IAY houses. This was broken up in 51 lakh houses in 2017-18 and 51 lakh houses in 2018-19.
Against the target of 51 lakh houses in 2017-18, a total of 34.99 lakh houses (29.33 lakh PMAY (G) houses and 5.66 lakh incomplete IAY houses) have already been completed and uploaded on the public website www.pmayg.nic.in. The number can be checked online in report A2. This comes to 68.7% of the target for the year. Since more incomplete IAY houses were there, they had to be completed.
When completed houses are uploaded on the website, it is not only physical completion but also geotagging of the completed houses with photograph and other details. These can be seen in D1 of the GIS reports on www.pmayg.nic.in. Since the process of uploading, geotagging and closure of accounts take a few days, it takes 10-15 days for uploading on site after actual physical completion. It is for this reason that the final figures of completed houses duly uploaded on the site would be available by 10-15 April, 2018.
The Department is confident of reaching very close to the target on the basis of performance in PMAY (G). In A1 report on www.pmayg.nic.in, releases of instalment details are also available. The current position as shown on the public website is as follows:
|
Sanctions with verified accounts |
68.209 lakhs |
|
First instalment paid |
60 lakhs |
|
Second instalment paid |
47.21 lakhs |
|
Third instalment paid |
33.73 lakhs |
|

As is evident from the statement, over 47.21 lakh PMAY (G) houses are at an advanced stage of completion. The effort of the Department is to try and complete one crore houses by 31.12.2018, even though the target is 31.3.2019.
Number of houses completed as per the PMAY (G) website (www.pmayg.nic.in) in reports section A2 year-wise house completion report all central schemes) from 2014-15 to 2017-18 are as follows:
