PMAY-Urban: Individual can check their housing subsidy application online through the CLSS Awas portal.

CLSS Awas portal was launched on 25 November by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, through which people will be able to track their applications for housing subsidies under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY)-Urban.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs said at the launch of the Credit Link Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) Awas Yojana that complaints of beneficiaries will be treated in a detailed and coordinated manner.

Under CLSS, the Centre shall offer interest subsidies up to Rs 2.67 lakh on individual home loans, which will decrease the unpaid principal loan amount.

He said the CLSS Awas website is going to assist other stakeholders to work in collaboration to disburse the subsidy to beneficiaries on time.

According to the ministry, the Global Housing Technology Challenge-India (GHTC-India) was launched to fulfill ‘Housing for All Mission’ in order to obtain globally recognized, alternate and tested construction technologies for faster and more cost-effective construction of affordable housing.

The Ministry and six states, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh, signed a memorandum of agreements (MoAs) for Light House Projects under GHTC-India.

Puri appreciated the governments of Indore, Rajkot, Chennai, Ranchi, Agartala and Lucknow for the development of light-house projects.

The ministry has launched a technological innovation grant for LHPs as a supplementary grant of Rs 2 lakh per house, beyond the current share of Rs 1.5 lakh per house under PMAY (U).
