Development, aimed at providing houses to families below the poverty line (BPL) in rural areas.

The main features of the scheme of PMAY-G include:
providing assistance for construction of 1.00 crore houses in rural areas over the period of 3
years from 2016-17 to 2018-19;
enhancement of unit assistance from 70,000 to 1.20 lakh in plain and from 75,000 to 1.30
lakh in hilly states, difficult areas and IAP districts;
identification of beneficiaries based on the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC 2011)
data covering households that are
houseless or living in houses with kutcha walls and kutcha roof with two rooms or less after
excluding households falling under the automatic exclusion category; and
in addition, the beneficiary will get 12,000/- as assistance for construction of toilet.
