People from both rural and urban areas can benefit from this scheme. The first phase of the survey has already begun in rural areas, while the verification process is also underway in some areas. After the survey and verification are complete, eligible families will be added to the final list and provided financial assistance for home construction.

Under the PM Housing Scheme, the government provides financial assistance for building a permanent house. This amount is ₹1.20 lakh in general rural areas, while in hilly and difficult areas, it is ₹1.30 lakh. Eligible families can avail of this scheme by registering their names in the survey. This initiative is an important step towards providing permanent housing and improving living standards in rural India.
