The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana started by the Government of India is a welcome initiative that the Panvelkar Group is supporting. A roof over everyone's head should be a reality, and not merely a wish. Respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has envisioned that this reality is accomplished by 2022. The PMAY was launched in 2015 with the primary objective of 'affordable housing' for everyone, with a target of 2 crore homes within the span of seven years. The biggest beneficiaries of PMAY will be the LIG (Lower Income Groups) and the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections). Under this scheme, people can avail subsidies between 1 lakh to 2.30 lakhs while purchasing homes. Depending on their category, they will also receive subsidies on home loans, making it even more affordable. The Panvelkar Group, by offering budget homes in compliance with the PMAY is an ideal choice for middle-income home-owners to invest with.
