Purchasing a house involves a significant investment. However, the PMAY scheme lowers such a financial burden by offering an interest subsidy.
For example, if an individual from EWS wants to purchase a house worth 15 lakh, a 20% down payment that is ₹3 lakh is mandatory. Therefore, he needs to apply for a loan of the remaining ₹12 lakh. However, under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban, the applicants will enjoy an interest subsidy, say 6.5%, on the loan amount up to ₹6 lakh. In this way, it lowers the financial burden.
