Government Schemes & Programs MCQs

PMAY-G houses are provided with toilets, often constructed in convergence with the Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G), which provides financial incentives for toilet construction.

PMAY-G converges with MGNREGA to provide 90-95 days of unskilled labour wages for the construction of PMAY-G houses, ensuring additional income for beneficiaries.

Beneficiaries under PMAY-G are identified based on the housing deprivation parameters of the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011, subject to verification by Gram Sabhas.

Under PMAY-G, the financial assistance for construction of a house in plain areas is ₹1.20 lakh (₹1,20,000). For hilly/difficult areas and IAP districts, it is ₹1.30 lakh.

PMAY-G aims to provide 'Housing for All' to eligible rural households by a specific target year (initially 2022, now extended), ensuring a pucca house with basic amenities.

The PM-KISAN scheme has specific exclusion criteria. Institutional landholders, along with high-income taxpayers, government employees, professionals (doctors, engineers, lawyers, CAs), and pensioners receiving more than ₹10,000 per month, are generally excluded from the scheme.

Being a Central Sector Scheme, PM-KISAN is entirely funded by the Government of India, meaning the entire financial burden is borne by the Central Government.

Under the PM-KISAN scheme, eligible farmer families receive an annual financial benefit of ₹6,000, which is disbursed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, every four months.
