What is PMAY-Urban 2.0?

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is the Government of India's flagship housing scheme aimed at making homeownership affordable for every Indian family. Under PMAY-Urban 2.0, eligible first-time homebuyers can receive an interest subsidy of up to ₹2.5 lakh on their home loan through the Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS).

The subsidy is calculated on the Net Present Value (NPV) basis and credited as a lump sum to your loan account, effectively reducing your outstanding principal and monthly EMI. The scheme covers four income categories — EWS, LIG, MIG-I, and MIG-II — ensuring broad coverage across economic segments.
