Namaste, I recently heard about a government subsidy of up to 2.67 lakh on home loans, and I’m really interested in applying for it in 2025. However, I’m not completely sure about the process or the eligibility criteria. Could someone guide me on how to apply for this subsidy online? What are the steps involved, and are there any specific documents required, such as income proof, property details, or Aadhaar verification?
Additionally, who is eligible for this subsidy? Is it based on income brackets, property value, or first-time homebuyers? I’d also like to know if there’s a specific portal or website where the application needs to be submitted and if there are any deadlines to keep in mind. If anyone has already gone through this process, I’d appreciate hearing about your experience and any tips to ensure a smooth application. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you’re looking to buy a home and need financial support, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) offers a great opportunity to get an interest subsidy of up to ₹2.67 lakh under the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). This scheme is designed to make homeownership more affordable for individuals in the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Lower Income Groups (LIG). Here’s how it works;
How Does the PMAY Interest Subsidy Work?
- Subsidy Amount: Eligible borrowers can get a maximum subsidy of ₹2.67 lakh on their home loan interest.
- Eligibility: This scheme is only for EWS and LIG applicants who meet the income criteria.
- Loan Tenure: The subsidy is applicable for a maximum tenure of 20 years or the loan tenure, whichever is lower.
- Loan Amount: The interest subsidy applies only to loans up to ₹6 lakh. If your loan exceeds this amount, the extra portion will be charged at a non-subsidized rate.
How to Apply for PMAY Subsidy?
- Apply for a Home Loan from a recognized bank, NBFC, or housing finance company that offers the PMAY subsidy.
- The lender will verify your eligibility and forward your application to the Central Nodal Agency (CNA).
- The CNA will process the application and, upon approval, transfer the subsidy amount to your loan account.
- This reduces your overall loan burden, making EMIs more affordable.
Key Benefits of PMAY CLSS
- Direct reduction in loan principal through subsidy.
- Lower EMIs due to reduced interest payments.
- Supports first-time homebuyers from EWS and LIG categories.
If you’re eligible and planning to buy a home, it’s worth applying for this subsidy through an authorized lender. For more details and official guidelines, visit: PMAY CLSS Official Website.
