The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) is the central government’s flagship rural housing scheme, aimed at providing a pucca house to eligible rural families who are homeless or living in kutcha or dilapidated houses.
The scheme replaced the earlier Indira Awaas Yojana and focuses on better funding, transparent selection, and technology-backed monitoring. For millions of rural families, getting a name in the PMAY-G beneficiary list is the first step towards a safe, permanent home.
If you want to know whether your name is on the list, what the PM Awas Gramin list 2026 looks like, how to check it with or without a registration number, and what to do if your name is missing, this guide covers everything.
It explains the PMAY-G beneficiary list check online process on the official portal, the role of the Awaas+ 2024 survey, the Permanent Waiting List (PWL), Gram Sabha verification, installment tracking, and common problems faced by applicants.
Latest Update: PMAY-G 2.0 and the Awaas+ 2024 Survey
The government has approved the continuation of PMAY-G for the period 2024-25 to 2028-29, with a target of building 2 crore additional houses over five years. This new phase is often called PMAY-G 2.0.
To identify additional eligible households, a fresh survey is being conducted through the Awaas+ 2024 mobile application, which supports both self-survey and assisted survey through registered surveyors. The app uses AI-enabled face authentication and geo-tagged photographs to verify households.
Reports from different districts show that lists prepared under the Awaas+ 2024 survey are being made public for objections and appeals before final approval by the Appellate Committee.
For example, a district administration in Jharkhand invited written claims and objections on the list of approved and rejected households in September 2026. This means that, depending on where you live, your village may be at different stages of the process. Always check with your Gram Panchayat or Block Development Office (BDO) for local deadlines.
What Is the PMAY-G Beneficiary List?
The PMAY-G beneficiary list is a Gram Panchayat-wise record of households that have been selected for assistance under the scheme. It shows details such as the village name, registration number, beneficiary name, father’s or husband’s name, sanction number, sanctioned amount, installment status, and the current house construction status. In simple terms, it tells you whether your house has been sanctioned, whether money has been released, and whether construction is complete.
There are also related lists you may hear about. The Permanent Waiting List (PWL) contains households identified through the SECC 2011 (Socio-Economic and Caste Census) data who are awaiting sanction.
The Awaas+ list contains households identified through later survey updates. Over time, the newer Awaas+ 2024 data is expected to become the main route for adding eligible households to the beneficiary list.
Benefits of PM Awas Yojana Gramin
Under PMAY-G, eligible beneficiaries receive financial assistance for constructing a pucca house with a minimum size of about 25 square metres, which includes a dedicated space for hygienic cooking.
The assistance is ₹1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in hilly states, difficult areas, and Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts. The money is paid in installments through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) directly into the beneficiary’s bank account, linked with the house construction progress.
In addition to the unit assistance, beneficiaries are generally entitled to unskilled wage employment of up to about 90–95 days under MGNREGA for construction work, and support of around ₹12,000 for a toilet under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) or similar convergence schemes.
Beneficiaries can also opt for a housing loan of up to about ₹70,000, if they choose. Other convergence benefits such as an LPG connection, electricity, and drinking water may be available through linked government schemes, subject to local implementation.
Who Is Eligible for PMAY-G?
Eligibility under PMAY-G is based mainly on SECC 2011 data and the updated Awaas+ survey, not on a direct application by the household. Broadly, households that are houseless or living in kutcha or dilapidated houses with one or two rooms are eligible.
Priority is generally given to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, minorities, widows, persons with disabilities, freed bonded labourers, ex-servicemen families, and other vulnerable groups, as per the scheme’s guidelines.
Certain households are excluded under the criteria. In general, families owning a motorised two-, three-, or four-wheeler, a mechanised farm equipment, a refrigerator or a landline phone, families with a government employee, those earning above a specified monthly income, or those paying income tax or professional tax may be excluded, although the exclusion rules have been modified in the latest phase. Because criteria can change, always confirm the latest rules with your Gram Panchayat or the official portal.
Documents and Details Needed to Check the Beneficiary List
You do not need many documents to check the list, but keeping the following ready will help. First, your registration number or PMAY-G ID, if you already have one. Second, your Aadhaar number and a linked mobile number, which is used for Awaas+ self-survey and for UMANG-based lookup. Third, your state, district, block, and Gram Panchayat names, because the list is arranged geographically. Fourth, your bank account details to track installments.
If you plan to enroll through the Awaas+ survey, additional details such as family information, housing condition, and photographs may be needed. These are collected during the survey process through the app or by the surveyor.
How to Check the PMAY-G Beneficiary List Online (Without Registration Number)
You can see the complete list for your Gram Panchayat without a registration number. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Visit the official portal. Open pmayg.nic.in, the official PMAY-G website. Some states also provide access through the rhreporting.nic.in reports page.
Step 2: Open the reports section. Go to Awaassoft and click on Reports. Under Social Audit Reports, select Beneficiary Details for Verification.
Step 3: Select your location. Choose your state, district, block, and Gram Panchayat from the dropdown menus. You may also need to select the financial year and the scheme, which is Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin.
Step 4: Enter the captcha code. Type the code shown on the screen and click Submit.
Step 5: View the list. The list of beneficiaries for your Gram Panchayat will appear. Look for your name, registration number, sanction status, and house construction status. You can usually download the list as a PDF or Excel file for later reference.
How to Check PMAY-G Beneficiary Status with Registration Number
If you already have a registration number, you can check your individual status quickly. On pmayg.nic.in, click on Stakeholders and select IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary. Enter your registration number and click Submit. The page will show your personal details, bank account details, sanction information, installment-wise payment status, and the progress of your house.
If you registered through the newer Awaas+ 2024 self-survey and do not have a registration number, the portal offers an advanced search option, which allows you to look up your record using other details such as your name and location. This feature can be useful when the number was not recorded or has been lost.
How to Check PMAY-G Status Using the UMANG App
The government’s UMANG app provides another convenient route. Download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, search for PMAY-G, and choose the option for beneficiary details or Aadhaar-based lookup. After verification, the app shows your beneficiary information and status. This method is helpful for those who prefer mobile access and do not wish to navigate a long website. Make sure you download only the official UMANG app and not a look-alike from an unknown source.
Understanding the Details in the Beneficiary List
When you open the list, you will see several columns, and understanding them helps you act correctly. The registration number is your unique identifier within the scheme. The sanction number and sanctioned amount show that your house has been approved. The installment status tells you how many installments have been released, and the amount released shows how much money has reached your bank account.
The FTO (Fund Transfer Order) status shows whether a payment order has been generated and processed. The house status column typically shows stages such as “sanctioned,” “in progress,” or “completed.” If installments are linked to geo-tagged photographs at different stages of construction, a missing or unclear photo can delay the next payment, so make sure the construction progress is properly documented through the official process.
How Beneficiaries Are Selected: SECC, Awaas+ and Gram Sabha
Selection under PMAY-G is a multi-step process designed to improve transparency. First, households are identified through SECC 2011 and later survey updates such as Awaas Plus. Second, in the current phase, the Awaas+ 2024 survey adds new eligible households through self-survey or assisted survey. Third, the draft list is placed before the Gram Sabha, a village-level meeting, which verifies and approves the households. Fourth, objections and appeals are invited, and an Appellate Committee reviews them before the Permanent Waiting List is finalised.
This process means that individuals generally cannot simply apply online and add their names directly. Instead, they must be identified through the survey and then verified by the Gram Sabha. If you believe you were missed, the correct route is to approach your Gram Panchayat, participate in the survey, or file an objection or appeal during the specified period.
What to Do If Your Name Is Missing from the PMAY-G List
Not finding your name can be worrying, but there are practical steps. First, confirm with your Gram Panchayat whether the Awaas+ 2024 survey has been completed in your village. Second, check whether your household was surveyed, and if not, find out when the next survey round will take place. Third, if eligible and not yet surveyed, you may be able to register through the Awaas+ 2024 mobile app using the self-survey feature, where available in your state.
Fourth, check whether the list published in your area is a draft list with an open window for claims and objections. If your household was rejected, you can submit a written objection or appeal to the concerned office within the notified period, along with supporting evidence such as photographs and documents showing your housing condition. Fifth, contact the Block Development Officer (BDO) or the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) for guidance. Keep copies of everything you submit.
Tracking PMAY-G Installments and Payment Delays
After sanction, the assistance is released in stages, generally tied to progress such as foundation, lintel, and completion. Each stage typically needs geo-tagged and time-stamped photographs uploaded by the local functionary or beneficiary through the monitoring app. To track money, check your installment status and FTO status on the beneficiary page, and verify the credit in your bank passbook.
Common causes of delay include an inactive or wrong bank account, an Aadhaar-bank mismatch, missing geo-tagging, incomplete construction at a stage, and administrative delays at the block or state level. If your payment is stuck, visit your Gram Panchayat or block office with your registration number and bank details. Ask whether the FTO has been generated and whether any rejection reason has been recorded.
Tips to Avoid Mistakes and Delays
Keep your Aadhaar, bank account, and mobile number consistent and linked. Make sure your bank account is active and enabled for DBT. Participate in the Gram Sabha meetings, where beneficiary lists are discussed. Keep copies of survey acknowledgements, photographs, and any receipts. Build the house according to the stages and size norms required by the scheme, and complete the geo-tagging at each stage. Check the PMAY-G list periodically, especially after survey rounds or Gram Sabha approvals.
Do not give bribes or pay “processing fees” to any agent. The assistance is meant to be transferred directly to your account, and no one can legally charge you for including your name in the list.
Beware of Fake Websites and Scams
As with other popular schemes, fraudsters create fake PMAY websites and send messages claiming that your house is approved if you pay a fee or share your OTP. Remember that the official portal is pmayg.nic.in, and checking the list is free. Do not install APK files from WhatsApp or SMS, do not share your OTP, ATM PIN, or bank password, and do not pay anyone for guaranteed inclusion. Report suspected fraud to the local police or the national cybercrime portal, or call 1930.
PMAY-G Helpline and Where to Get Help
For help, approach your Gram Panchayat, Block Development Office, or District Rural Development Agency. You can also use the helpline and grievance options listed on the official PMAY-G portal. A national toll-free number is commonly published for PMAY-G queries, but numbers can change, so confirm the current one on the Contact Us or Grievance page of pmayg.nic.in before calling any number found on other websites.
