The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Assam is a flagship housing scheme by the Indian Government to provide “Housing for All.” Since Assam caters to both Rural and Urban populations, PMAY in Assam is implemented under two components, i.e., PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U) for urban areas and PMAY-Gramin (PMAY-G) for rural areas. Therefore, the PMAY Assam scheme has significantly impacted both urban and rural populations, providing thousands with safe and affordable housing.

PMAY in Assam is implemented under two major components:
Each PMAY scheme in Assam has its unique eligibility, benefits, and application processes.
The PMAY Urban in Assam is designed for city dwellers from EWS (Economically Weaker Sections), LIG (Lower Income Groups), and MIG (Middle Income Groups).
This rural initiative focuses on providing pucca homes to homeless families or those living in kutcha structures.
PMAY Assam offers financial assistance in the form of interest subsidies and direct financial support, making home ownership more achievable for economically weaker sections (EWS), low-income groups (LIG), and middle-income groups (MIG). This significantly reduces the financial burden of owning a home.
The scheme is designed to benefit both urban and rural populations, ensuring that no group is left behind. Special attention is given to marginalized communities, including scheduled castes (SC), scheduled tribes (ST), and other disadvantaged groups, promoting equitable development across the state.
One of the standout features of PMAY is its focus on gender equality. The scheme mandates that houses be registered in the name of the female head of the household or jointly with her, helping to empower women socially and economically by ensuring property ownership.
Beyond just providing housing, PMAY Assam promotes a better quality of life by including essential amenities such as clean drinking water, proper sanitation, electricity connections, and LPG gas supply. These features contribute to a safer, healthier, and more dignified living environment.
Where applicable, the scheme encourages the use of eco-friendly and disaster-resilient construction techniques, aligning with the government’s vision for sustainable urban and rural development.

PMAY in Assam is implemented through two parts: PMAY-Urban for cities and PMAY-Gramin for villages. It aims to provide pucca houses to eligible families, with the state using geo-tagging and digital tracking for transparency.
Urban applicants must belong to the EWS, LIG, or MIG categories and not own a pucca house. Rural applicants must be listed in the SECC 2011 data and lack a proper home, with verification by Gram Sabhas.
Visit the PMAY-G portal (for rural areas) or pmaymis.gov.in (for urban areas), select your region, and search using Aadhaar or name to check your status.
Benefits include interest subsidies up to 6.5%, direct financial support for rural housing, priority for women and the disabled, and improved living conditions across the state.
Urban residents can apply online at pmaymis.gov.in or offline via banks. Rural applications are processed through local Gram Panchayats or CSCs.
Documents typically include Aadhaar, income certificate, bank details, land/property proof, and photos for geo-tagging (especially in rural areas).
