Full Scheme Details →📢 Latest Update — June 2026:
The PMAY-Gramin "Awaas Plus 2024" survey is the gateway for new rural families to enter the permanent housing waitlist. Eligible households can now complete a self-survey using the "AwaasPlus 2024" mobile app with Aadhaar face authentication — no need to wait only for the government Surveyor. The 2024 exclusion rules were relaxed, so many families earlier rejected for owning a two-wheeler or refrigerator can now qualify. Check and apply at pmayg.nic.in.
⚡ Key Facts at a Glance
The PMAY-Gramin Awaas Plus 2024 survey is the most important step for any rural family that still lives in a kutcha (mud/temporary) house and wants a pucca home in 2026. Under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G), the government provides direct financial assistance of ₹1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in hilly, difficult, and Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas to build a pucca house with a toilet and basic amenities. The "Awaas Plus 2024" survey adds newly eligible households — those left out of the earlier 2011 SECC list — to the permanent waitlist, so getting your name correctly recorded in this survey is what decides whether your family ever receives the money. A landless labourer family in a Jharkhand village living in a thatched hut can be added through this survey and later receive ₹1.30 lakh (LWE area rate) in installments directly to their Aadhaar-linked bank account.
What changed recently is a big deal for crores of families: the old exclusion criteria were relaxed in the 2024 survey. Owning a two-wheeler, a refrigerator, or a landline phone no longer disqualifies you; the monthly income limit was raised to ₹15,000; and families owning up to 2.5 acres irrigated land or 5 acres un-irrigated land can now qualify. On top of this, eligible families can do a self-survey on their own phone using the AwaasPlus 2024 app with Aadhaar face authentication, instead of waiting for the appointed Surveyor to visit. This guide explains exactly who qualifies under the new rules, how to do the self-survey step by step, what documents you need, and how to fix common problems. For the full scheme overview, see our PM Awas Yojana guide.

How to Do the Awaas Plus 2024 Self-Survey — Step-by-Step 2026
- Download the official app: On an Android phone, install the "AwaasPlus 2024" app from the Google Play Store (published by the Ministry of Rural Development). Do not use any third-party or fake app — confirm the publisher before installing.
- Register with Aadhaar face authentication: Open the app, select your role as Self-Survey, enter your Aadhaar number, and complete Aadhaar face authentication by scanning your face as prompted. This verifies your identity without needing an OTP or biometric machine.
- Enter household details: Fill in the head of household's name (exactly as on Aadhaar), family members, current house type (kutcha/no house), number of rooms, and social category (SC/ST/OBC/General/Minority).
- Capture house photos: The app asks you to take live, geo-tagged photographs of your existing kutcha house. Stand in front of the house and capture the photos as instructed — these are used to verify your housing condition.
- Add bank and income details: Enter your Aadhaar-linked bank account number and IFSC, and your monthly household income (must be within ₹15,000 to qualify). Double-check the account is active and seeded with Aadhaar for future DBT.
- Submit and save the reference: Review every entry, then submit the self-survey. Note down the registration/reference number shown. If you cannot do the self-survey yourself, the appointed Surveyor (Panchayat/Block official) can record your details using the same app.

Frequently Asked Questions — PMAY-Gramin Awaas Plus 2024
Q: My name is not in the PMAY-Gramin list — how do I get added through Awaas Plus 2024?
If you were left out of the earlier list but live in a kutcha house and meet the new relaxed criteria, you can get added through the Awaas Plus 2024 survey. Download the "AwaasPlus 2024" app, complete the self-survey with Aadhaar face authentication, and submit your household and house details. Alternatively, contact your Gram Panchayat so the appointed Surveyor records your details. Once verified and approved in the Gram Sabha, your name is added to the permanent waitlist on pmayg.nic.in.
Q: How do I check my Awaas Plus / PMAY-Gramin status online?
Visit pmayg.nic.in → use the "Stakeholders" / "IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary" search → enter your registration number to see your status. You can also check the beneficiary details by name through your State's PMAY-G report on the same portal. If you only completed the self-survey, your record may show as "submitted/under verification" until the Gram Sabha approves the list. For help checking, call the toll-free helpline 1800-11-6446.
Q: My survey was rejected — what are the common reasons and how do I fix it?
Common reasons: the household already owns a pucca house, an excluded asset was detected (motorised four-wheeler, mechanised farm equipment, KCC ₹50,000+), a member is a government employee/taxpayer, or the Aadhaar/house photo verification failed. Get the exact reason from your Gram Panchayat or Block Development Office. If the rejection is due to a data error (wrong income, wrong house type, photo not clear), request a re-verification through the Panchayat with correct details and documents.
Q: I got the first installment but the rest of the money has not come — what should I do?
PMAY-G assistance (₹1.20 lakh / ₹1.30 lakh) is released in installments via DBT linked to construction stages — the next installment is paid only after the previous stage is verified through a geo-tagged photo of your construction progress. Ensure your Panchayat/Block has uploaded the latest stage photo. Also confirm your bank account is active and Aadhaar-seeded. If the stage is verified but money is still pending, raise it with the Block office or call 1800-11-6446.
Q: The Aadhaar face authentication in the app keeps failing — how do I complete the self-survey?
Face authentication needs good lighting and a working front camera. Try again in daylight, hold the phone steady at eye level, keep your full face in the frame, and remove spectacles or a mask. Make sure your Aadhaar is updated with a recent photo and the app has camera permission enabled. If it still fails after a few attempts, the appointed Surveyor at your Gram Panchayat can record your self-survey details using their device.
Q: I own a two-wheeler and a refrigerator — am I still eligible now?
Yes. Under the relaxed 2024 exclusion criteria, owning a two-wheeler, a refrigerator, or a landline phone no longer disqualifies your family. As long as your monthly income is within ₹15,000, you do not own a pucca house, your land is within 2.5 acres irrigated / 5 acres un-irrigated, and no other exclusion applies (such as a motorised four-wheeler or a government job), you can be considered eligible in the Awaas Plus 2024 survey.
Q: Do I get a toilet and labour wages along with the house assistance?
Yes. Beyond the ₹1.20 lakh / ₹1.30 lakh house assistance, a PMAY-G beneficiary is entitled to approximately 90–95 days of unskilled wage labour under MGNREGA for building the house, and a toilet support of ₹12,000 under Swachh Bharat Mission–Gramin (SBM-G). Keep your MGNREGA job card ready and coordinate with your Panchayat so these convergence benefits are linked to your housing case.
Q: How do I file a complaint or grievance about my Awaas Plus survey or payment?
First approach your Gram Panchayat and Block Development Officer (BDO), as PMAY-G is implemented at the Block level. For unresolved issues, call the PMAY-G toll-free helpline 1800-11-6446 and quote your registration number, or use the grievance/feedback option on pmayg.nic.in. You can also escalate to the central public grievance portal at pgportal.gov.in under the Ministry of Rural Development. Always note your complaint reference for follow-up.
