Making Homeownership Affordable: PMAY-U 2.0 Interest Subsidy Scheme
Owning a home is a cherished aspiration for millions of families across India. However, the rising cost of real estate often puts this dream out of reach, particularly for families from economically weaker sections (EWS) and low- to middle-income groups (LIG/MIG). The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS) aims to bridge this gap by providing substantial interest subsidies on home loans, turning the dream of homeownership into a reality.
This initiative aligns with the Government of India’s mission of Housing for All, ensuring affordable housing for urban families and empowering them to achieve their goals.
About the PMAY-U 2.0 Interest Subsidy Scheme
The PMAY-U 2.0 ISS is a dedicated scheme for first-time homebuyers from EWS, LIG, and MIG households. Eligible applicants can receive a 4% interest subsidy on the first ₹8 lakhs of their home loan for a tenure of 12 years, making home loans more affordable by reducing EMIs or shortening repayment periods. Families can benefit from a maximum subsidy of ₹1.8 lakh, which directly supports their journey toward owning a home.
Eligibility Criteria
The scheme is open to families meeting specific income and ownership conditions:
- EWS (Economically Weaker Section): Annual income up to ₹3 lakhs.
- LIG (Low Income Group): Annual income up to ₹6 lakhs.
- MIG (Middle Income Group): Annual income up to ₹9 lakhs.
Other key requirements include:
- No ownership of a permanent house (pucca house) anywhere in India.
- Women-centric ownership: The property must be registered in the name of the female head of the household or jointly with a spouse (exceptions apply for households with no adult female members or certain other cases).
- Applicable for home loans sanctioned and disbursed on or after September 1, 2024.
Key Benefits of PMAY-U 2.0 ISS
- Reduced EMIs or Loan Tenure: The 4% subsidy lightens the financial burden, making home loans more manageable.
- Empowering Women: The ownership provision strengthens women’s financial security and supports gender equality.
- Broad Coverage: The scheme applies across statutory towns, newly notified towns, and Notified Planning Areas, ensuring widespread accessibility.

Important Considerations
