How to Calculate Subsidy Under PMAY Urban?

 

Purchasing a house involves a significant investment. However, the PMAY scheme lowers such a financial burden by offering an interest subsidy.

For example, if an individual from EWS wants to purchase a house worth 15 lakh, a 20% down payment that is ₹3 lakh is mandatory. Therefore, he needs to apply for a loan of the remaining ₹12 lakh. However, under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban, the applicants will enjoy an interest subsidy, say 6.5%, on the loan amount up to ₹6 lakh. In this way, it lowers the financial burden.

Take a look at how much interest subsidy each economic group shall have:

Economic Groups

Interest Subsidy

Loan Amount Eligible for Interest Subsidy

Economically Weaker Section

6.5% per annum

₹6 lakh

Lower Income Group

6.5% per annum

₹6 lakh

Middle Income Group I

4% per annum

₹9 lakh

Middle Income Group II

3% per annum

₹12 lakh

Here’s a quick calculation on how much you can save under this scheme:

Individuals With Income up to ₹6 lakhs

Loan amount

₹6 lakh

Interest rate

9%

Monthly Instalment

₹5,398

Interest payable (tenure 20 years)

₹6.95 lakh

However, with 6.5% under this scheme, the applicable interest subsidy is equivalent to ₹ 2,67,000. Thus, it lowers the loan amount to ₹3,33,000. However, the interest rate of 9% remains unchanged. However, overall it reduces the monthly instalment and interest cost.

So, here's the revised table to show you the maximum savings you can enjoy under this scheme:

Loan amount

₹3,33,000

Applicable Interest Rate

9%

Monthly Instalment

₹2,996

Interest Payable (tenure 20 years)

₹3.86 lakh

Total Reduction on Monthly Instalment

₹2,402

Total Savings on Interest Payment

₹3, 08,939

Keeping this calculation in mind, individuals with income up to ₹12 lakh will save approximately ₹2, 72,445 on interest payables. At the same time, applicants up to ₹18 lakh will enjoy a reduced interest cost of ₹2, 66,649.
