Who gets the benefit of the scheme?
It is worth noting that earlier the benefit of PM Awas Yojana (PMAY) was only for the poor section. But, now by increasing the amount of home loan, its benefit is also being given to the middle class. Earlier, the home loan amount in PMAY ranged from Rs 3 to 6 lakh, on which interest subsidy was given. But now it has been increased to Rs 8 lakh.
