Local media in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh have reported protests and complaints over Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana beneficiary lists, with allegations that ineligible households were included while genuinely homeless rural families were excluded. Those complaints have been directed to block development offices in districts including Madhubani in Bihar and areas of Uttar Pradesh.
PMAY-g.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>PMAY-Gramin beneficiary selection involves survey data, eligibility criteria and administrative approvals across multiple levels of government. If your family applied for PMAY housing assistance and believes your name was wrongly excluded from the final list — or that an ineligible household was incorrectly added — the appropriate step is to contact your Block Development Officer or Gram Panchayat Secretary with your Aadhaar, ration card and SECC survey registration number to raise a formal complaint.
What should I do if my name is missing from the PMAY beneficiary list? Contact your local Block Development Officer or Gram Panchayat Secretary in writing, bringing your Aadhaar, ration card and SECC survey registration number. The Ministry of Rural Development’s PMAY-G portal at pmayg.nic.in also provides a grievance registration function. The specific timelines and processes for re-verification will depend on the administrative steps being taken in your district.
The Ministry of Rural Development’s guidelines and any official district administration orders in affected areas are the authoritative sources for what steps are available to specific families. Local district offices can confirm what processes are in place in their area.
