Chandigarh has 200 unallotted flats from 2015

Chandigarh has around 200 unallotted flats in Maloya, built in 2015 under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U). This issue was highlighted by MP Manish Tewari during a Lok Sabha session. The Union ministry of housing confirmed that 1,997 of 2,195 houses built under a previous program were converted to affordable rental housing and are currently occupied. However, no new proposals for PMAY-U have been submitted by the local administration. In response to past challenges, the ministry has launched PMAY-U 2.0, effective September 1, 2024. This revamped initiative aims to provide affordable housing to 10 million more beneficiaries through various components.
