PMAY-G Gets ₹10,021 Crore Boost: Centre Releases First Instalment For 12 States in FY27

The Centre has released the first instalment of funds under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) for the financial year 2026-27, giving a major push to rural housing development across India. 

Union Minister for Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday announced a mother sanction of ₹10,021.42 crore for 12 states through video conferencing. The move is part of the government’s broader objective of ensuring that every rural household has access to a permanent home with basic amenities.

Centre Releases ₹10,021 Crore Under PMAY-G

According to the Minister, nearly 3.91 crore houses have been approved under the scheme so far, while more than 3.5 crore homes have already been completed. The allocation released this week will help states continue construction activities and accelerate pending housing projects.

What is a Mother Sanction?

A mother sanction is a broad financial approval issued by the central government at the start of a financial year. It sets the state-wise spending limit for centrally sponsored schemes such as PMAY-G and MGNREGA.

This mechanism allows ministries to release funds in phases as required, ensuring smoother implementation and faster execution of welfare projects at the state level.

Focus On Women Empowerment and Rural Infrastructure

As per the minister, nearly 75% of PMAY-G houses have either been sanctioned in the name of women or under joint ownership. This has strengthened women’s financial security and dignity in rural households.

The Minister further urged states to speed up approvals, resolve pending complaints, and ensure timely utilisation of funds before the June 30, 2026 deadline.
