The Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a government scheme launched to make housing accessible to members of the following economic groups:

  • Economically Weaker Section (EWS)

  • Low Income Group (LIG)

  • Middle-Income Group 1 (MIG-I)

  • Middle-Income Group 2 (MIG-II)

 

The scheme offers a sizable subsidy on the total interest payable on a home loan on the basis of the borrower’s household income. The benefits of the same can be availed on the purchase of a new/resale house or on construction as well. The benefits of the PMAY scheme can also be availed if the borrower is simply upgrading their home into a house that has been made with solid, all-weather-resistant materials. In order to avail the PMAY CLSS subsidy, you must ensure that you are eligible for it.

 

The PMAY scheme is currently underway in two key components:

  1. Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY- U): The PMAY-U focuses on eliminating the increasing slum habitations in cities, along with dealing with the issues of space crunch due to increased migration.

  2. Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G): The PMAY-G primarily aims to provide houses for the rural people who still live in makeshift or ‘kaccha’ houses.

 

This article will take you through the ways in which you can avail the subsidy offered to the PMAY beneficiaries. Read on to know more.

What are the Benefits of the CLSS Scheme?

The advantages of the housing loan subsidy program include:

  • A significant subsidisation of the payable interest on a home loan taken by a PMAY beneficiary.

  • The subsidy amount is directly deposited into the bank account. As a result, your outstanding principal amount as well as your EMI amounts come down by a substantial margin.

  • The loan amount in itself has no upper limit. If the sum, however, goes past the limits that have been indicated, the interest will be charged at the normal rate of the lender.

  • The beneficiary may also be eligible for tax deductions as indicated in the Income Tax Act of 1961.
