The beneficiaries of PMAY (Urban)-LIFE housing project are now eligible for benefits under the project even if they are constructing a house on land located outside the respective urban local body limit, as per recently revised guidelines.
Earlier, it was stipulated that the beneficiaries should purchase land within the respective local body limit considering the difficulty in geotagging the house at various stages of construction.
As per the revised order, the urban local bodies have to take up a separate project, with the approval of the district planning committee, for the beneficiaries who own land in areas coming under other local bodies. Those who have not yet been included in the urban body’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) can also be included in this.
