The PM Awas Yojana is now allowing applicants to apply via the mobile Awas Plus app. Priority is given to families without housing, including SC and ST groups. The survey is ongoing until March 31, 2025.

  • Applicants can now apply for PM Awas Yojana using the new mobile app.

  • Survey period for new applications ends on March 31, 2025.

Under the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme (PM Awas Yojana), beneficiaries can now apply directly from their mobile devices using the Awas Plus app. The scheme primarily aims to provide permanent housing to economically weaker sections of society.

Application via Mobile App

The government has initiated a new survey for the PM Awas Yojana in Dumka district. Families without any permanent housing, particularly those from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), will receive priority for assistance. Beneficiaries from the middle and lower-middle income groups will also qualify.

Beneficiaries can construct their homes with a financial provision of ₹1.20 lakh under this initiative. The focus of the new survey is to ensure that eligible families receive their homes between 2024-2025 and 2028-2029.

Who is Eligible?

  • Only households without a house will be prioritized for the scheme.
  • Those with a Kisan Credit Card (KCC) limit exceeding ₹50,000 will not qualify.
  • Families owning vehicles, including three-wheelers, four-wheelers, or farming machinery, are also ineligible.
  • Individuals with more than 2.5 acres of irrigated land will not qualify for benefits.
  • Government employees and individuals paying income tax or business tax are also excluded from the scheme.

How to Apply

  • Individuals meeting the eligibility criteria can apply through their smartphones.
  • Applicants need to download the Awas Plus-2024 survey and Aadhaar Face ID app.
  • Each mobile device can be used for one survey application, requiring the applicant’s Aadhaar number.

The survey process is scheduled to complete by March 31, 2025, and it’s easy for applicants to submit their information directly through the app. The responsibility for conducting the survey lies with the respective Gram Panchayat secretaries.

By enabling self-application through the mobile app, beneficiaries will significantly benefit, streamlining the process and ensuring a more direct line of communication with officials.
