The "Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme” (CLSS) under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) was announced by our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Under this scheme, interest subsidy on purchase/ construction/ extension/ improvement of house is provided to customers belonging to Economical Weaker Section (EWS)/Lower Income Group (LIG)/Middle Income Group (MIG). For eligibility the beneficiary family should not have received central assistance under the Mission “Housing for all by 2022”.

A beneficiary is defined as:

• A family comprising of husband, wife and unmarried children
• Beneficiary can also be an unmarried individual earning member of the family (only for MIG scheme).
• Beneficiary should not own a pucca house either in his / her name or in the name of any member of his / her family in any part of India.
• Beneficiary should not have received central assistance under the CLSS scheme
• Meeting income criteria defined as per various categories under the scheme.

The income norms for various Household categories are defined as under:

• EWS households/individuals with an annual income up to Rs. 3.00 lakh
• LIG households/individuals with an annual income more than Rs. 3.00 lakh and up to Rs. 6.00 lakh
• MIG I households/individuals with an annual income more than Rs.6.00 lakh and up to Rs.12.00 lakh
• MIG II households/individuals with an annual income more than Rs12.00 lakh to INR 18.00 lakh

The Bank will claim subsidy benefit for eligible borrowers from National Housing Bank (NHB). The NHB will conduct a due diligence to exclude claims where customer has submitted multiple request. For all eligible borrowers, the subsidy amount would be paid to the Bank. Once the Bank receives the interest subsidy, it will be credited upfront to the loan account. The subsidy will be calculated on Net Present Value (NPV) at 9% discount rate.

For example, the borrower avails a loan for Rs. 8 lakh and the subsidy works out to Rs. 2, 20,000. The amount (Rs. 2, 20,000) would be reduced upfront from the loan (i.e., the loan would reduce to Rs. 5, 80,000) and the borrower would pay EMIs on the reduced amount of Rs. 5, 80,000.
