New Delhi, Feb 1 (IBNS): The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday, gave ex-post facto approval to the proposals for extension of tenure of loans under the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) of PradhanMantriAwasYojana (PMAY) from 15 to 20 years.

The proposals that received ex-post facto approval from the Union Cabinet  were:

(i) Extension of tenure of loans under the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) vertical of Pradhan MantriAwasYojana (Urban) Mission from 15 to 20 years (to be renamed as CLSS for EWS/LIG. It will be named as CLSS for economically weaker sections of society / Lower Income Group;

(ii) Introduction of a new Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme for MIG” for targeting the MIG category;

(iii) Allowing the Primary Lending Institutions (PLIs) that have signed MoU with the Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs), under the CLSS vertical of PMAY(Urban) (now CLSS for EWS/LIG), the option to extend the mandate of their MoU to CLSS for MIG with appropriate changes as applicable;

(iv) For rationalizing/introducing the processing fees payable to the PLIs for the loans sanctioned under these schemes;

(v) Allocation of Rs. 1000 crore initially in the budget for 2017-18 at the BE stage for the proposed CLSS for MIG and

(vi) Issue of the operational guidelines for CLSS for MIG with approval of the Minister-in-charge.

The proposals are expected to increase the off-take in EWS and LIG segments under existing Pradhan MantriAwasYojana (Urban) – Housing for All Mission; extend the outreach to the Middle Income Group (MIG); make procedures easy for the Primary Lending Institutions (PLIs); provide an incentive to PLIs for increased participation in the housing and urban development sector; make funds available through Budgetary provisions and clearly define the procedure /implementation of programmes.

The outreach of the schemes will ensure greater participation amongst the EWS, LIG and MIG segment of the society to provide Housing for All by 2022, thereby ensuring equity and inclusiveness.

The interest subsidy to be disbursed to the beneficiaries will be credited to their home loan accounts after the PLIs have satisfied the eligibility criteria through their due diligence processes.

The proposed interest subsidy scheme for the MIG is an innovative approach to address the needs of housing of this category.
