Q1What is the prescribed unit assistance for a house under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin in plain areas?

A ₹1.20 lakh
B ₹1.30 lakh
C ₹70,000
D ₹12,000
Explanation

The prescribed unit assistance is ₹1.20 lakh in plain areas. The higher ₹1.30 lakh rate applies to North Eastern, Himalayan, difficult and notified special areas, while toilet support and a possible institutional loan are separate benefits.

Q2How many of the following are benefits linked through convergence with Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin? 1. 90-95 person-days of unskilled wage employment 2. About ₹12,000 for a toilet 3. Piped water, electricity and cooking-gas connections 4. An unconditional cash bonus of ₹70,000 to every beneficiary

A Only one
B Only two
C Only three
D All four
Explanation

Entries 1, 2 and 3 are correct: convergence provides 90-95 person-days of unskilled work, about ₹12,000 for a toilet, and links to water, electricity and cooking gas. Entry 4 is false because ₹70,000 is a facilitated institutional loan, not a universal cash bonus.

Q3Which pair correctly states the minimum house size and the Centre-State funding ratio applicable to Rajasthan under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin?

A 20 sq. m.; 90:10
B 25 sq. m.; 60:40
C 25 sq. m.; 100% central funding
D 30 sq. m.; 60:40
Explanation

A house must have a minimum area of 25 sq. m., including a dedicated hygienic cooking space. Rajasthan is treated as a plain-area state, so programme costs are shared by the Centre and State in the ratio 60:40.

The Union Cabinet approved 2 crore additional rural houses for financial years 2024-25 to 2028-29. The total approved outlay is ₹3,06,137 crore, comprising a central share of ₹2,05,856 crore and a state matching share of ₹1,00,281 crore.

Q5Consider the following statements about beneficiary selection under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin: 1. The base list uses housing-deprivation data from the Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011 and the finalised Awaas+ list. 2. An open online self-application by itself guarantees sanction of a house. Which of the statements is/are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because identification begins with the Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011 housing-deprivation data and the finalised Awaas+ list, followed by Gram Sabha verification. Statement 2 is incorrect: open self-application alone does not secure sanction.
