First-time homebuyer housing schemes

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana was introduce by the government in June 2015 with the goal of housing everyone in the nation. Through its Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme and Beneficiary-led Construction Scheme, the central scheme offers first-time homebuyers financial assistance for the construction of homes.

The government offers first-time homebuyers a subsidy on a home loan between Rs 6 Lakh & Rs 12 Lakh at a reduced interest rate for the building of new homes under the Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme. This benefit also extends to homeowners who are remodelling their current homes.

 

Beneficiary categories of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana

Beneficiary Annual income of the household
Middle Income Group-1 (MIG-1) Rs 6 Lakh to Rs 12 Lakh
Lower Income Group (LIG) Rs 3 Lakh to Rs 6 Lakh
Middle Income Group-2 (MIG-2) Rs 12 Lakh to Rs 18 Lakh
Economically Weaker Section (EWS) Up to Rs 3 Lakh

A new home can be built by first-time EWS homeowners with central help of Rs 1,50,000 under the beneficiary-led individual house construction/enhancements initiative.

 

Housing programmes run by the government for first-time homebuyers

The DDA, MHADA, YEIDA, Noida Authority, Ghaziabad Development Authority, Gurgaon Development Authority, Chennai Development Authority, Bangalore Development Authority, Kolkata Development Authority, and so on are some of the housing schemes that they have introduced.

In addition to the refunds provided to a regular borrower, first-time homebuyers also benefit from tax breaks.

Section 80C
