Good news for rural households: the deadline for the PMAY-G (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin) beneficiary survey has been extended to October 14, 2025. The extension gives families more time to register and ensure they’re counted for government housing benefits.
The government is currently conducting an updated “Awaas+” survey to identify rural families eligible for housing support under PMAY-G. This round is meant to include households that may have been left out earlier.
Officials have directed local authorities to make sure no eligible family is excluded. The extension aims to give every household a fair chance to apply and complete the process.
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin is designed to help economically weaker rural families build safe, pucca houses with essential amenities like toilets, kitchens, and electricity.
In the 2024–29 phase, the focus is on landless beneficiaries and better transparency through digital tools such as the Awaas+ app.
Eligible applicants can either participate in door-to-door surveys or complete the self-survey through the Awaas+ mobile app.
While PMAY-G is focused on rural housing, this extension has wider implications for India’s housing ecosystem. By giving more rural families a path to own permanent homes, the program can reduce migration pressures on urban areas and strengthen housing demand in smaller towns.
For homebuyers and real estate stakeholders, this signals continued government focus on affordable housing and infrastructure development across India. It also reinforces the long-term commitment to the “Housing for All” mission, which helps stabilize the broader housing market and supports inclusive growth.
Extending the survey deadline ensures more eligible families can participate, which means more people could gain access to financial assistance for safe and permanent housing. For many, this extension is an opportunity to take the first concrete step toward home ownership and a more secure future.
The government has extended the ongoing Awaas+ beneficiary survey under PMAY-G till October 14, 2025. This extra window is to make sure eligible rural families who were missed earlier can be counted.
No change has been announced to the assistance because of the extension. The move is about giving more time to complete the beneficiary identification survey, not altering benefit norms.
Two practical routes: participate in the door-to-door survey conducted by registered surveyors mapped to your Gram Panchayat, or complete the self-survey on the Awaas+ 2024 mobile app using Aadhaar e-KYC. For any help, contact your Gram Panchayat or block office and keep basic documents handy (ID, bank details, housing information).
It gives more families a fair chance to get onto the official list, which is the first step to receiving support for a pucca home. By widening coverage through the survey, the program can reach households living in kutcha or dilapidated dwellings and move them toward safe housing with better amenities.
Eligibility is determined from housing-deprivation data and verified locally. In simple terms, priority goes to houseless households and those living in zero, one or two-room kutcha houses (kutcha walls and roof), identified through SECC/Awaas+ and approved by the Gram Sabha. Final inclusion follows the scheme’s exclusion criteria and verification process.
