PMAY Scheme Overview
In 2015, the Government of India launched a scheme called the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).
The PMAY scheme aims to provide affordable housing for all by 2022. We at ICICI Home Finance, are aligned with Central Government's 'Housing for All' mission and offer benefits as outlined in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) has introduced in June 2015, an interest subsidy scheme called Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban)- Housing for All, for purchase/ construction/ extension/ improvement of house to cater EWS/ LIG/MIG segments to meet the housing demands in India.

Pradhan mantri awas yojana Benefits
CLSS under PMAY schemes makes the home loan affordable as the PMAY subsidy provided on the interest component reduces the outflow on the home loan. The subsidy amount under the scheme largely depends on the category of income which you belong to as well as the size of the property unit being financed.
When to apply for PMAY?
The PMAY scheme is being implemented in three phases, with the first two phases having ended. Currently, the last phase is on; it began on April 1, 2019, and will end on March 31, 2022.

No. It is not possible to avail PMAY subsidy benefit for an existing home loan. As per the eligibility criteria of this scheme the beneficiary should not own a pucca house in his/her name or in the name of any person in his/her family in any part of India. Thus, the PMAY scheme is only applicable for those people who are looking to buy a home for the first time.
If you are already an existing home loan customer, it means you already own a home in your name and hence, your application to avail interest subsidy under PMAY would be rejected.
4. How long does PMAY subsidy take?
If you have applied for the PMAY CLSS subsidy, it takes around 3-4 months to get the subsidy amount.

(HUDCO), National Housing Bank (NHB) and State Bank of India. The CNAs cross-check the application and release the funds, which they receive from the government.
