Also, under PMAY scheme, an adult earning member can be treated as a separate household, regardless of their marital status. In addition, PMAY also provides exclusive benefits for women, so that more women applicants come forward and avail the scheme, and be proud homeowners. For EWS category, it is necessary for woman to have ownership or co-ownership of the property. And for the rest of the categories, though not mandatory, the female ownership is desirable. One more important point to consider is that the location of the property should be listed under the statutory towns as per 2011 census and or adjacent planning area which is updated by the government.
