Under this new Life Mission – Housing Scheme, the total cost of the 500 sq. ft house is Rs. 4 Lakh out of which Central govt. will provide Rs. 1.5 lakh, State govt. contribution will remain Rs. 50,000 and Local Govt. share is Rs. 2 Lakh. Applicants will not have to pay any amount for new house.
For houses which are not eligible under PMAY, State govt. will provide Rs. 1 lakh and Local govt. must raise the remaining amount. In order to help the local govt. to raise their share, Kerala govt. is going to set up a new financial company to increase debt amount from market.
