PM Awaas Yojana Gramin (PMAYG) Beneficiary Registration Guide

The beneficiary selection process defined under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) is structured around transparency, fairness, and objective identification of eligible rural households. 

• Data Identification: The initial list of potential beneficiaries is created using official government databases, namely, the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) data from 2011 and information collected from the Awaas+ survey, which includes households who were excluded from the original SECC list but qualify for assistance under the programme criteria. 

• Deprivation-Based Ranking: Households identified in the database will be automatically ranked based on their socio-economic deprivation according to data gathered during the SECC and the Awaas+ survey. Households that have the greatest vulnerability to housing and are most socially disadvantaged will receive the highest level of priority in the ranking process. 

• Gram Sabha Verification: Once the provisional list is complete, it will be presented to the Gram Sabha for community-level verification. During this stage, villagers have the opportunity to raise disputes and make corrections to the list to ensure only households that qualify remain on the final list. 

• Permanent Wait List (PWL): After verification and correction processes are complete, a Permanent Wait List will be compiled and published. 

• Annual Selection: Once the Permanent Wait List has been prepared, yearly housing targets will be used to select beneficiaries for each financial year from the Permanent Wait List.
